Well I don't want current fans or potential fans of the comics to abandon ship yet. There is a lot to look forward to.
The writer from Arrow they have picked seems inspired, and most importantly, he knows Fleming inside and out and will treat the job as a passionate investment of his talent. I thought at first maybe he'd landed the job of adapting one of the Fleming books following the Casino Royale one coming, but it seems like he's doing something fresh and more in tune with the tropes of the Bond films instead. Should be interesting.
And it's nice to see that something Bond related got announced yesterday for James Bond Day. It wasn't movie news, but that's not the only Bond related stuff that matters to fans, so it's great to see something big teased that's coming our way. With the upcoming releases of the Fleming inspired comics, Leiter spin-off, ongoing Ellis story, a second Horowitz Bond novel and now this news, it's a great time to be a fan of Bond in print form.
Agreed ...even if Eidolon is faltering a bit the upcoming projects are looking even more promising.
Ellis must have some serious anger issues :/.
So far I have just ignored or toned down Ellis's violence when reading his Bond. Now with #10 seems likes that's harder to do.
I share the exact sentiment, @mcdonbb. I love Warren Ellis' works, especially Planetary. Don't get me wrong. But, yes, he seems to crave in for violence, blood and gore, which makes me question his sanity, sometimes. Anger issues is an understatement.
I'm still anxious to read #10 and I'll just deal with the violence.
Getting more anxious for Diggle and next continuation announced yesterday. Both I expect a tad more cinematic.
I do appreciate and am enjoying Ellis's contribution to Bond. I am extremely grateful for his arcs and the success and promise of more.
I haven't read #10 yet but I agree.
Very nice ....ok ok getting more excited.
I read that Twitter.It will good. So we know where Felix Leither when he not working with James Bond. I get the comics.
that is suprising news, but i wasn't expecting a release in 2016 anyway.
any word on who the replacement might be, if there is one already?
If I were them, I'd hire the author of this artwork.
But, I'd also make sure if they draw a tuxedo, Bond's shirt collars shouldn't be winged. Bond doesn't wear winged collar shirts with tuxedos. Not with normal dinner jackets, anyway.
Yeah Fay Dalton would be incredible, i can't wait to get my FRWL Folio edition next week...
Obviously CR should look very classy, but also a bit retro...
I can't think of many contemporary artists who would fit the bill
And yeah, I've been waiting for that one wholeheartedly, as well.
Imagine what can they do with Dr. No and Moonraker.
Definitly, a full Fleming collection by Folio would be a dream, but i have my doubts we'll ever get there (and i don't really want to wait 14 years)
If i had to bet i would say OHMSS is next, but who knows
The Bond slate is already pretty full and exciting anyway so I'm not all that disappointed.
You might be right.
Still haven't read #10 either which also is getting favorable reviews UNLESS the torture scene off put the reviewer then it was less favorable.
