Scott Pilgrim One-Shot Comic Announced for November 2026

Sixteen years after the conclusion of the original graphic novel series, Scott Pilgrim is returning to comics. Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley announced a new one-shot comic, "Scott Pilgrim EX: Dawn of Metal Scott," which will be published by Oni Press this November. The announcement was made during the San Diego Comic-Con festivities on July 23, 2026.

The 24-page comic serves as a direct prequel to the beat-'em-up video game "Scott Pilgrim EX," which was released on March 3, 2026. The story introduces the game's new villain, Metal Scott, a robotic doppelgänger of the titular hero. According to the official synopsis, the narrative finds Scott Pilgrim and his girlfriend, Ramona Flowers, enjoying a period of peace after the events involving her Seven Evil Exes. This peace is shattered when Metal Scott emerges as a new threat, kidnapping Scott's bandmates from Sex Bob-omb and forcing him into action. The comic will feature a 16-page story detailing Scott's battle against this metallic foe.

In a statement, O'Malley expressed his surprise at returning to the character after so long. He said that when asked to create a mini-comic for the video game, he agreed without fully considering it...
