Wilson pops up for me in Eidolon but McC could carry a feature.
Thanks ...I couldn't spell McConaughey so thanks for that too lol.
The humor is what makes him such a good foil for Bond. The film Bond took Leiter's sense of humor as his own & it pretty much makes FilmLeiter a dull nothing.
In CR and QoS I find their relationship to be very much what you describe. Bond is on edge, earnest and very dry in his humor, while Leiter is more playful and openly jokes with him throughout without Bond reciprocating the humor back to him. QoS feels especially representative of this.
We got a nice mention of him in SP, but I'd really like to see him one last time. Clearly he's on EON's mind, so fingers crossed it comes through.
Good news - that means 007 comics are selling well
Bad news - Spinoffs :(
Yea I would like to see a proper Bond graphic novel less constrained like Vargr to fit six issues.
Well I'm glad their making money. I've been tracking that too the best I can. In my opinion the comics are the best most satisfying Bond thing going right now. I enjoyed Vargr way more than either SP or TM.
I will be less enthused about the Leiter spin off but oh well I'll probably still buy it.
Agreed 100%
So far it looks like Dynamite knows exactly what they are doing, with hiring top writers and giving the people what they want (First rule of mass Media!)
I will definitly check this Mini series out as well and I am sure they have a worthwile Story to tell about Felix.
Didn't say I wasn't pleased per se just not as enthused. Good talent working on the project.
We hardly if ever get anything like this from Bond so yes it is very welcome.
I'll even go as far to read a Bill Tanner comic book if the story is damn good. I don't care if some hate the character or not. I'll even read a Pussy Galore comic book if it bears helluva of a storytelling. And mind you, it's possible to have Bond Girl spin-offs, because Dynamite loves making sexy female protagonist spin-offs from main franchises. Red Sonja being one, Dejah Thoris (from the famed John Carter series) being another. And these have met large amount of success I wouldn't put it past the publisher to make such a move with the Bond license.
Again, if the story is good and in high quality measurements, I'll buy them and keep them.
Yeah, I agree with this. My concert is that the quality won't be good but..who knows :D
SP and TM? What's that?
I'll read it at some point. Never finished Solo ...kept waiting for it to get started.
Red Sonja was already a lead character in her own series since the '70s with Marvel. But Dejah Thoris is a good case in point. And I personally would be first in line for a Pussy Galore comic book!
Well, I can't say I was really satisfied with the issue. Underwhelmed is more like it. @Kronsteen, my friend, you do whatever you have to do to avoid this one issue, because it actually does surpass mass violence and things we've seen inside with Bond and Tanner interrogating the anarchist... Well, the torture was a bit too much... He'd never do that. Sorry, Ellis, but even though I like his writings, this issue was rushed and ballsed up.
That said, the artwork wasn't that inspired, either. Some of the character outlines are utterly recycled from previous efforts.
Hoping to see #11 be in more control of its own head.
i have to say the Torture scene was a bit off putting for me as well, i was suprised to say the least....
I'll put the rest in a spoiler tag:
so i can see the necessity.
In a post guantanamo bay and 24 world, i can see an agent doing stuff like this if they are under pressure and in the end they didn't even kill him, which is quite unusual for this Bond :D
Also that scene was nothing compared to what he did to the Hitman in Vargr, but there it might have seemed more justified since he just tried to kill Bond.
Now, on the other hand, I, as a Bond fan, am not giving up on it. Far from it. I just hope the next one gets its head back in the game. This issue pretty much didn't do anything up until the last scene.

On other notes, a new writer for Dynamite Bond series announced. Benjamin Percy is on board to write an installment in the franchise, still unnamed, and artist unannounced as of yet, set to come out sometime in 2017.

@0BradyM0Bondfanatic7, you're a DC Comics buff more than anyone else. I think you might be interested in this one.
