TORONTO: COME ONE, COME ALL! Our very good friend Bryan Lee O’Malley, creator of the international bestselling graphic novel series SCOTT PILGRIM, will be making his triumphant return to Toronto, a year since the awesome midnight release party for Scott Pilgrim volume 6!

The Scott Pilgrim Midnight Release Party drew 2,000 fans to normally quiet and quaint Markham Street last July to grab a copy of the new graphic novel and meet the creator of this epic series of epicness. O’Malley hasn’t been back to Toronto since then, and this Saturday, July 9th, he’ll return to meet & greet fans, sign books, and hang out in the neighbourhood that inspired that graphic novels and the cult-classic movie!

This event will feature an exclusive and limited-edition print designed by O’Malley featuring Ramona Flowers, and will be made available for sale for just $5! But all Scott Pilgrim fans are invited to show up in costume, and if they do they get a copy of the print for free!

Scott Pilgrim graphic novels, box sets, action figures, t-shirts, and other posters will be made available for sale at the event courtesy of The Beguiling.

Also, be sure not to miss the screening of SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD, free at Harbourfront Centre Tuesday, July 5th at 9pm! For details visit http://www.harbourfrontcentre.com/.

Uncanny X-Men #535 Review

By Andrew Uys
April 17, 2011

Uncanny X-Men has been one of my favourite reads ever since issue #500.

But fear not X-Men fans, this comic is just as good, if not better, than before. Continue reading →
