The remastered black-and-white version of Scott Pilgrim’s 20th Anniversary Hardcover Box Set is on sale for a new all-time low price of $100. This six-volume hardcover collection released last August with a staggering $250 MSRP. The full-color edition of the 20th Anniversary Box Set is available for $151.79, but although that’s still a substantial discount, we’ve seen it four $30-$40 less on multiple occasions. You could pair your new box set with the great film adaptation, which is discounted to only $17 on 4K Blu-ray at Amazon.
Notably, the full-color version of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s beloved graphic novel series is only available in the 20th Anniversary Box Set. Even if you already own the series, this edition will offer a different reading experience. That said, the remastered black-and-white edition is easily the best way to read Scott Pilgrim if you want to retain the original experience. Both box sets include a collector’s box with fonts that look inspired by the PlayStation 2.
Here’s what you get with the new hardcover box sets:
- All six redesigned volumes of Scott Pilgrim with new art by Bryan Lee O’Malley
- Clamshell collector’s box with new art by O’Malley
- Exclusive compilation of “Making of Scott Pilgrim” comics and other materials
- Sticker sheet
- A selection of mystery collectibles Scott Pilgrim fans will recognize
- The choice between full-color and remastered black-and-white illustrations
At the moment, the remastered set of hardcover volumes is only $10 more than the slipcased paperback box set ($90). The Precious Little Slipcase Collection is Scott Pilgrim in its original black-and-white format without the enhancements found in the new box set.

Oni Press, publisher of the box sets, also created the Scott Pilgrim Print Collection 2004-2024 to celebrate the 20th anniversary. This box set of 9″ x 12″ full-color art prints released last September, a few weeks after Scott Pilgrim’s 20th Anniversary Box Set, and is available for $24 (was $30). The collection includes 21 “frame-ready” illustrations printed on cardstock.
In case you missed the Edgar Wright film adaptation or the graphic novels, Scott Pilgrim tells the tale of Scott and his quest to win the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers. The only problem? Her seven Evil Exes, former partners of Ramona, who stand in his way. Along the way, both Scott and Ramona come to terms with their past as their relationship grows stronger and they become more mature.
