First Look at SCOTT PILGRIM Creator Bryan Lee O'Malley's New Comic Series, WORST WORLD
Even before Universal adapted it into a cult classic movie, I loved Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comic series. It not only has great action and memorable set pieces, but it thrives on quieter character moments and the explorations of relationships, all while infusing video game and pop culture influences and being laugh out loud funny. It's a terrific piece of work, and I highly recommend reading it if you haven't.
I missed O'Malley's 2014 graphic novel Seconds, but it's on my list of things to check out. Now I have another thing to add to that ever-growing list: EW has published the first look at O'Malley's newest comic series, called Worst World. The plot is largely being kept secret at this point, but here's a brief teaser:
Set in present-day Los Angeles, Worst World centers on 30-something Benny and 20-something Aubrey, and will be the first in a planned trilogy of graphic novels, each clocking in over 300 pages. O'Malley will once again be teaming with his partners from Seconds, including art assistant Jason Fischer and colorist Nathan Fairbairn.
Sounds great to me, and O'Malley himself will be signing copies of this print at this week's San Diego Comic-Con (info here), so be sure to stop by and say hello if you see him!
