SP UK

The Scott Pilgrim series is being reissued by Harper Collins / Fourth Estate in the UK and Commonwealth countries (excluding Canada). Vols 1-5 will ship in the first half of 2010. Volumes 2/3 and 4/5 are being combined into 400-page omnibus editions. Volumes 1 and 6 will be separate.

Note: I have nothing to do with the cover design of foreign editions (or splitting them up into omnibus editions!). That's the publisher's initiative talking.

I assume they'll be edited for "English", but I'm not entirely certain. I do a bit of a mishmash with the Canadians saying "colour" and the Americans saying "color", although I can't promise that I've been sticking to that 100% of the time.

Obviously, the UK editions seem to be largely prompted by a Hugely Popular And Influential British Director doing the film version of Scott Pilgrim. But hey, they'll be much more widely available around the world.

EDIT: I forgot to mention: for U.S. people, the bookstore chain Borders is now carrying a special "Scott Pilgrim Bundle" of vols 1-3 with a new label that says something about how it's going to be a movie. They don't seem to have it in stock in their online store, but they are in the physical stores now. Good holiday gift for unsuspecting friends and relatives? (These are the exact same Oni Press editions as usual - the only special thing about them is that they are shrinkwrapped together with that blue label and that they are widely available at Borders over the holiday season.)
