Thursday at Comic Con has somehow become Scott Pilgrim Day. The awesome individuals responsible for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim Versus the World feature have been kind enough to host a daily party at the Hilton Gaslamp across the street from San Diego Comic Con. The party is all kinds of awesome. You get to make your own custom Scott Pilgrim t-shirt (and we’re talking professional screen printed stuff – not that iron on bullshit), your own flip book starring yourself doing kung fu and play the new Scott Pilgrim UbiSoft video game coming to Playstation Network and XBox Live. The game itself is a wonderful throwback to smash and bash classics such as Streets of Rage, only this is nerds fight hipsters and groupies. It’s basically a geek’s wet dream, going around smashing in the faces of those oh, too cool scenesters and hipsters us comics readers and gamers have to deal with on a day to day basis. To top it off, cast and crew members are making rounds doing signings and taking pictures and giving out free, delicious Garlic Bread to munch on.

This is the 8th Comic Con I’ve attended and have found that this is by far the coolest, most hyped up without being inflated party for a comic movie and for well deserved material. I was able to attend the Scott Pilgrim panel and it rocked. With 13 cast members in attendance, Michael Cera wearing a Captain America costume (in honor of the missing Chris Evans who is currently filming The First Avenger), fans were greeted by a surprise appearance from Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, and Edgar Wright even called out Sly Stallone for an arm wrestling contest. It goes without saying that, Scott Pilgrim Versus the World really has been the perfect way to kick off Comic Con for this decade. The filmmakers and comic creator is tangible, the source material has just wrapped up in the most perfect way and the fans got a taste of what will be a faithful and awesome film with one killer soundtrack.

If you’re at Comic Con this year, the Scott Pilgrim party at the Hilton is a must. It’s going on from noon to 6:00 PM every day, but get in line early, the wait will surely be a bitch (but well worth the wait) and the free shirts are sweet. There’s also some preview screenings at The Balboa Theater tomorrow and Saturday, so if you get the chance to see it, do, Swank said that the movie lives up to it’s epic epicness.
