That would be awesome. They can take all my Money if thats true.
Between the Dynamite comics and allegedly two new young Bond books this year, literally Bond is pretty alive in 2016. Just give me a damn new Video Game in 2017 and i am in Bond Heaven :)
As for the video game, I think that one descends from Danjaq instead of Ian Fleming Publications, so it depends on MGM studios, actually. I don't think we'll get a Bond game anytime soon. Not in this decade, at least. But, we'll have to wait for the distribution rights holders. If it's the Warners, it's likely we might get a new Bond game.

As for the games i wouldn't mind waiting, as long as quality comes out of it. EoN really needs to step their game up in terms of todays video game market and stop dicking around. Find the best people possible, not the ones who pay you the most.
Wow, @00Agent! You couldn't be more right! Literary Bond is pretty much alive and well, this year. We have VARGR (completed its monthly run, waiting for its collected edition release), Heads You Die, Eidolon (monthly!) and the unnamed Young Bond 8. Let's see if IFP will have Anthony Horowitz returned for another Bond novel.
And yes, I agree! EoN needs to stop playing it safe with the video games and give creative developers and publishers who are ambitious and eager to do something amazing freedom of creativity and thinking and stop relying on the style of the films. Electronic Arts tried to do that a lot in their time, and EoN really blocked them from drifting away from the film series. I'm not saying the developers should make something awfully different from Bond. Just give them the basic rules of keeping Bond intact to himself and his universe, yet pull off Arkham on the series. That's how the next Bond game needs to be done and stop trying to make GoldenEye 64 clones.
I haven't really gotten into Young Bond but I will.
Maybe so.
There was a graphic novel released of the first Young Bond Book, Silverfin, by Puffin Books in 2008. Not sure why they haven't adapted any of the other books, maybe it didn't do well enough.
It's kinda like "Where's Warren" :P
Agree ..#6 could have been fleshed out more into book #7. I think the parameters 6 parts 22 pages did restrain the story and that is my biggest complaint against the story.
Still I enjoyed Vargr very much. Was nice and very welcome to have a positive Bond experience.
No, I tend to agree with you. I'm not really sure what else could have been added.
My point was the ending itself ....maybe. Yes, could have been expanded but then Bond was extremely focused and lethal. The only time the pace let up was the revelation of villain's lame reason as to why. Which was great and elevated the conclusion.
Please note I'm saying the villain's reason was lame NOT the writing. Bond even thought so and ended that foolishness quickly and resoundingly.
"Our asylums are full of people who think they're Napoleon... or a god." ;)
And yes, I have to agree that the climax went a bit too fast. Then again, Bond was determined to the get job done with no restraints so he killed whatever that moved before him in that ship. He pulled some awesome gun-kata moments, which is a first for Bond.
How many pages does each volume have, and is there a complete edition to buy that includes all 6 episodes? I'm asking because there are editions with 144/176(variant edition) pages and some with 32 pages - and it is hard to figure out how many 32-page issues are represented in a 144-page hardcover.
Some shops (archonia) sell the same issues either for € 19,76 or for € 3,98. I guess that would be hard cover or paperback? Does it make sense to get the paperbacks?
It will come out the same day Eidolon will make its debut. If you're going to purchase them issue per issue (part by part), the price will be around $3 or €3. Not more. If you want physical copies, go for a local comic shop. But, if you want a digital version, try ComiXology.
I am looking for a physical copy, ideally all 6 parts of VARGR in one high-quality hardcover. So that would be the complete edition then? And why Vol.1, is Eidolon Vol.2 or do they split VARGR into two parts?

My understanding is Bond #7 Eidolon will be released the same day the hardcover collection of the Vargr arc is released.
I think 6 part arcs to fit into a year's release.
You're right. I'm sorry I was reading on the fly.
Me too.
Why Not? That way it feels much more like an ongoing thing. This licencing deal is supposed to Run for 10 years and I want A LOT of issues from them. I want this to be the Single greatest Run in James Bond Comic history (they wouldn't even need to put in much effort to acomplish that :) ) and Since most of us will buy the collected hardcovers anyway, it will still feel like seperate books.
