Couldn't find a picture online (even if there's one in the Previews catalogue. Sorry.
Though the second image seems to repeat the King and Country #6 cover released 11/29/2023.

I think this might be Dynamite Comics’ last Bond adventure if the license hasn’t been renewed. Mixed feelings either way.
Personally I didn't enjoy it, and given how there's been no discussion of it on here I don't think many others have either. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have someone unknown to the franchise (Meyer for Wrath of Khan is my go to example) but Ennis' gory style doesn't fit, Bond is far too callous even by the previous comics' standards. Tonally I think it's all over the place, it's Moonraker by way of the Craig movies, so it's neat to see Bond go into space again and have a Bond girl that is drawn as Leela from Futurama but then it tries for edgy in an adolescent fashion that ruins it.
Art was (goriness aside) on point though.
Why do we think the licence hasn't been renewed? Has someone said that?
I don't really liked it, manly for the writing. The first issue was very very good, and I though I've gonna really enjoy this comics, but the following five others issues were 1) very hard to follow 2) not really interresing in what's happening like (even if some scenes are great). Even the space sequence is surprislingly boring as hell, a missed occasion.
Aside from the writing, the art was all time very gorgeous however, even if strangly as say gory as Charmian said.
Like many other Dynamite titles, I felt like the story was lacking a good bad guy. With a few exceptions, most series, regardless of writer, lacked a visually striking and memorable antagonist. Your Cold, Cold Heart was no exception. The first issue was quite intriguing, and I liked the idea of having a weapon recovered by the West at the end of the Cold War, developed over the following years, until it was stolen; it's a good starting point, echoing GoldenEye. Unfortunately, what followed was rather random and never memorable.

Agreed.
I miss Warren Ellis' contribution to the publishing of these books.

Which means it will probably actually be out next May.
