Seconds, Bryan Lee O'Malley's much-anticipated follow-up to Scott Pilgrim, will be released July 15 by Random House after being delayed when the cartoonist suffered a shoulder injury. But while there's still seven months until the book's debut, io9.com has the most substantial preview yet of Seconds, including the cover (we'd previously been treated to a limited-edition print, and glimpses on O'Malley's blog).

Although O'Malley has avoided giving too many details about the graphic novel, he revealed last year that, "Seconds is about a restaurant, and the restaurant is called Seconds, and 90 percent of the story takes place within it. Beyond that it’s really hard for me to explain and I’m going to have to work on that so I can talk about it properly when it comes out. But it’s funny and weird and kind of big and crazy despite the mundane setting.”

The protagonist Katie, described by the cartoonist as "a loveable spaz," can be seen on the cover and in some of the preview art.

The 328-page hardcover is written and drawn by O'Malley, with ink assists by Jason Fischer, colors by Nathan Fairbairn and lettering by Dustin Harbin. Check out part of the preview below, and the remainder at io9.com.
