Seeing Serpent's Tooth get a (positive) mention, puts a smile on my face.
Bond being chased by a dinosaur through the jungle, might put some off. But with it not being part of the film series, I think writers should be open to pushing the limits of what can be gotten away with in Bonds world.
No arguments from me. As you said, the dinosaur was just a small part of the story, but as we have seen with the films, fans can be annoyed (for want of a better word) over specific moments which last for about a minute (if that), in a 2+ hr film.
About Shattered Helix, I have the first issue only, i'll have to look into finding a copy of #2.
I did not know they would still be available. Well... my birthday is just after christmas, guess what i'll be buying myself. ;) While i'm at it, I might buy the TPB of Serpent's Tooth.
Hammerhead is recreating a lot of that panache we had with Serpent's just not quite as much of the originality at least so far.
But still truly very enjoyable and welcome Bond adventure. Definitely one of my favorites across all mediums.
By the look of it, seems like we'll be having two bond comics running in parallel from here on out. Can't wait to see what Dynamite has in store for us. Exciting times
Oh Right! totally forgot about those.
And there is still the rumor of a "Bond Begins" contemporary comic series set in the 50's from Dynamite
And it's not a rumour about the "Bond Begins" thing. Another series of period piece timeline set in the 40s or 50s, before Casino Royale's events, there is a "Year One" story being planned just as Bond earns his 00-status. Just like the modern day James Bond series, there will be a period piece series with a less experienced Bond in the 40s/50s.

If it were to come out in January, by now we would have seen preview images and interviews. They usually release the cover artwork three months prior to its release. But, we've got nothing yet.
I don't belive either that it will be released anytime soon, and to be honest they can take all the time they need to finish it.
I am really not in a hurry to get my hands on This, Casino Royale is a story that any of us know by heart i am sure. So the most important thing about this book to get me hooked again will be the Art. So i want them to get this done right. Getting rid of the other guy was a step in the right direction already as the preview pictures didn't really do it for me
The Casino Royale graphic novel should look exactly like this. Sure, it's going to be rather expensive, but I'd give every single penny to have a Casino Royale graphic novel with this look. It's not just any other entry in the franchise, it's the Bond bible!
Matthew Southworth's reply to a friend of mine on Twitter (evidence):
We are on the same page with Fay @ClarkDevlin :D
To make this particular Book worthwhile for us fans, they should go the extra mile.
And since it is a contemporary Story, it should have this old classy look

And, to be honest, I fairly believe this paragraph couldn't be more misleading:
If anything, Hammerhead is a Pierce Brosnan Bond adventure and the Ellis/Masters run on the series feels more akin to the Craig films.
I agree ...Hammerhead is the "film" I wish Brosnan had ended on.
Beyond that ...fantastic review!! Can't wait!
Thanks for sharing as always.
We'll have to wait then...
Like I said, the graphic novel, especially when it's based on the very first James Bond novel, might be scheduled to come out on 28 May 2018, Fleming's 110th Anniversary.
That will probably be reserved for Anthony Horowitz second Bond Novel
