Oh and there are a load of Bond references in the comics, both overt and subtle.

^ There was also an Oddjobs graphic novel as well, which isn't listed above.
And if you're into collecting more than comics, there's also a PS1 game and 4 7" figures (Abbey, Sydney, Natalia & Major Maxim) & 2 12" figures (Abbey & Sydney).
Man, I LOVE this stuff. Hot girls, great comedy, action never drawn so well in a comic book. This is a James Bond fan forum, right? Well then everybody should read these comics!
HUGE - HUGE recommend.
Good to hear Dimi. Danger Girl is indeed highly recommendable to all fans of Bond, especially those fans of the more fantastical side of the Bond series, as that is where the Bond influences on J Scott Campbell come into play. With the Revolver series having reached it's 4 issue run, I do pray that we don't have to long to wait for more. Bear in mind that it's been 6 years since Back In Black. :-S
I do think the film will happen at some point. But I fear the casting will be based more on who's flavour of the month and not who might be best suited to bring the characters to life. My dream cast would like like <a href="http://www.listal.com/list/danger-girl">this.</a>; With a robust budget to handle all the action, a Danger Girl film would be the perfect antidote to all the gritty action films of recent years.
Okay, this IDW project is pure fan service! I'm a fan of Star Trek TOS and the Star Trek films, and this comic series brings nothing but indulgence to my table. Building on great moments from such films as Generations and Wrath Of Kahn and slightly hinting at the J.J. Abrams film - this comic series was launched as part of the promotional campaign for Star Trek 2009 - I'm amazed at how genuine it feels. Seeing well-known characters from TOS, the films and TNG appear, puts a smile on my face. However, the story does travel to some sentimental corners of the Star Trek universe and I must admit to being touched by several panels.
Should I recommend this? Only to those who appreciate Star Trek and are familiar with TOS and the films can this collection of loose fragments from Spock's life have any meaning. But, to those it will serve as a great read!
It is worth your time, sir. Trust me. 'Countdown', which I will re-visit one of these days, along with 'Nero', is essential reading IMO in order to fully comprehend what this whole history between Nero and Spock is all about and since that's the big set-up for Star Trek 2009 after all, I keep returning to it before I re-watch the film.
Maybe bum a cheek flash here, or a side boob there, but not full on. Afterall, this is Danger Girl, not porn. ;)
I wasn't that keen on the art in that series, I preffered The Shadow Strikes (89-92). I love the art in the current series by Dynamite too.
This volumes collects some of Denny O'Neill's earliest Ra's al Ghul's adventures. It's interesting to read them but don't expect too much. Though these 70s comics were a step above and beyond the 60s campy Batman, both in terms of seriousness and visual style, there was still a long way to go to where we are now.
That said, it is believed that herein lies part of what inspired Goyer when he co-wrote the script for Batman Begins, so it's worth checking this one out.
I disagree.
Alan Moore, Jeph Loeb, Grant Morrison and Paul Dini are all better story tellers, IMO, than O'Neil. Denny is good, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't declare him the best Batman writer. ;-)
Read it just after watching (for the first time) the Buffy TVS 1992 Film.
It's nice to see what Joss originally intended (something like the comic) and what they ended up doing (the movie).
I've been reading more European comics than American comics this year. One title got my attention, Alpha. It's a beutifully, very realistically drawn graphic novel series, with a great international espionage plot.
The story follows Assia Donkova, a russian art gallery manager in search for Western talents to exhibit in Moscow. In Paris she meets Julien Morgan, an aspiring painter. We soon learn that this Morgan isn't all what she think's he is.
It's a bit like watching a realistic spy movie. Who can you trust? Why is Assia being followed? The story doesn't give away much early on, like many comics do, which is great.
This is the first of three albums released so far, with the second story included in this album, really makes it four albums in English. I really hope Cinebook will publish all the albums, eleven in total (if not, I'll have to learn French, because I really like this one).
Youri Jigounov, the artist, is currently the new artist of XIII, another french spy comic.
And continues again.............. I like this comic.
It's essentially a Belgian comic book, like Largo Winch, Tintin and Thorgal. In fact, one of the artists, Jean Van Hamme, worked on all of those except Tintin of course. Believe me when I say I'm very proud of these, being a Belgian myself. I'm especially a huge fan of Largo Winch. Wonderful series!
One peculiar fact is that here (I don't know about elsewhere) they are published in a larger format than typical (American) comics. Not that it matters though. ;-)
What do you mean, "larger format"? I thought they were the same size as American comics, but had 48 pages instead of 22.
