Do remember though, fellas, there's a prequel series of comics set in the original Fleming timeline (well, before the events of the novels, anyway) coming around this Spring. I wonder if they want Royale to coincide with a significant entry in those series.
That preview is quite extensive! Usually it's the first three pages but there are several chapters up and they all look great! I'm looking forward to it even more now!
wow it's even more extensive than the preview we got by the end of last year from HumbleBundle. Could be almost the first quater or fifth of the whole book
I am very relieved though to see that the dialogue was not PGed!
Especially Bonds comments about Vesper and women on the mission.
Looks like we might get it in March after all, I'm definitly more hopefull now
It was interesting, thanks.
I still don't believe that the current date will be the final one, but March seems very plausible. fingers crossed.
Comixology listed its release on 28th of February, but I still doubt that's the date. Dynamite hasn't marketed this title properly as of yet, which needs to be done full time and build up the hype. This is the most precious of all the James Bond entries they are to publish.
Why not, there aren't that many anyway.
I like them all, some more, some less.
Vargr is pretty good, then you have Eidolon which was a direct sequel to Vargr.
I also like Black Box very much, it's a bit more Moore/Brosnan, but the art is something that you either like or hate.
I highly recommend Solstice as well, it's a short story comic, around 35 pages, but it's one of the best, written by a true Fleming fanboy.
1-Hammerhead
2-Kill Chain
3-Solstice
4-Felix Leiter (spin-off, albeit a great one!)
But, if you're a collector and have further interest in the series, go for the rest, as well.
If you were looking for a way into, say, Batman, I'd try to scramble together some titles. There's just too much Batman stuff out there to read it all.
But with these Dynamite Bond publishings, there's only about 7 titles plus some one-offs you need to read and you've got them all. I personally love them all, from VARGR and Eidolon to Black Box and Kill Chain, plus the shorts. I think you will regret it one day if you're going to be selective now that you can find them all still in print. Ten to fifteen years from now, you may want to read them and then have to drop a lot of money on ebay. ;-)
I had to pay around 120 Dollar for a copy of Serpents Tooth, and i can't even find a collected edition of Permission to Die anymore.
You can easily get any Dynamite title on amazon right now
The collected edition costs that much unfortunately.
Since it's the best, i thought it's worth it.
I would actually spend the same amount on a collected edtion of Permission to Die, but that books is extremely rare, and i haven't seen any offers anywhere.
No, thats just the preview before the colorist stepped in.
They will all be in color later on.
I do have to say though, that i kinda like the black and white.
This page in particular reminds me a lot of Sin City, the Graphic Novel that is.
I rather like the Sunday Stripes for Flash Gordon by Raymond from the 30s.
They are really good! Seen a few online from time to time, but I have yet to read any Flash Gordon stories. Still prefer Raymond's b/w artwork, like his Rip Kirby comic strips:
Those lines! That shading! Fantastic!
Very much so!
