Oni announces full-color version of ‘SCOTT PILGRIM’, dare you take the double-dip?

Perchance this is the sort of double-dipping that you may be into. Oni Press has announced that they’re going to release a full-color version of Scott Pilgrim  in an “ultra swank” format.

Robot 6:

Fresh off the  Emerald City Comicon  floor is news that Bryan Lee O’Malley is delving back into the world of  Scott Pilgrim  . Oni Press will release full-color hardcover editions of the six-volume series. Speaking from the “On the Not So Late Late Show with Oni Press” panel earlier tonight, O’Malley said the coloring will be done by Nathan Fairbairn (Batman Inc., Swamp Thing) and will be published in a 6″ x 9″ “ultra swank” format.

This isn’t the first time  Scott Pilgrim  has appeared in color. In addition to a rare Free Comic Book Day one-shot put out years before, several pages from the final volume of the series,  Scott Pilgrim’s Finest Hour, were published in color. Oni has used several colorists over the years to color O’Malley’s  SP  work, but the choice of Fairbairn looks to live up to the “ultra swank” promise said at the panel.

In addition to the new size and coloring, each volume will include previous unpublished bonus materials. Oni plans to release the first hardcover in August. The publisher is careful to note that the original black and white versions will remain in print as well.
