    James Bond : 007 # 6 :
    Bond does what all smart secret agents do and calls in an airstrike- unfortunately he's still at ground zero when it arrives. As MI6's number one killer struggles to stop the deployment fo Stalvoda, the snake in the ranks of British Intelligence finally reveals himself- but is it too late for Bond to do anything about it?

    Couldn't find a picture online (even if there's one in the Previews catalogue. Sorry.

    Not final covers identified but Dynamite does share some images. Due 6/17/2024.

    Though the second image seems to repeat the King and Country #6 cover released 11/29/2023.

    The "Myrmidon" hardcover has been delayed yet again, this time to June 18th. All you can really do at this point is laugh.

    At last, I managed to find the cover for issue 6 of James Bond 007 : Your Cold, Cold Heart. Here it is :

    I think this might be Dynamite Comics’ last Bond adventure if the license hasn’t been renewed. Mixed feelings either way.

    Fingers crossed that it is. It has had a few misses but on the whole Dynamite done a lot of great stuff over the last decade. If they are going to bow out getting a legend like Gail Simone is a great way to end. Regardless it's nice to have another woman writing for Bond.

    Has Your Cold, Cold Heart been good?

    Has Your Cold, Cold Heart been good?

    Personally I didn't enjoy it, and given how there's been no discussion of it on here I don't think many others have either. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing to have someone unknown to the franchise (Meyer for Wrath of Khan is my go to example) but Ennis' gory style doesn't fit, Bond is far too callous even by the previous comics' standards. Tonally I think it's all over the place, it's Moonraker by way of the Craig movies, so it's neat to see Bond go into space again and have a Bond girl that is drawn as Leela from Futurama but then it tries for edgy in an adolescent fashion that ruins it.

    Art was (goriness aside) on point though.

    Ah okay, that's a shame. I must say whenever I've tried any of these comics none of them have clicked for me so far; they don't quite feel like Bond to me.

    Why do we think the licence hasn't been renewed? Has someone said that?

    I don't really liked it, manly for the writing. The first issue was very very good, and I though I've gonna really enjoy this comics, but the following five others issues were 1) very hard to follow 2) not really interresing in what's happening like (even if some scenes are great). Even the space sequence is surprislingly boring as hell, a missed occasion.

    Aside from the writing, the art was all time very gorgeous however, even if strangly as say gory as Charmian said.

    Like many other Dynamite titles, I felt like the story was lacking a good bad guy. With a few exceptions, most series, regardless of writer, lacked a visually striking and memorable antagonist. Your Cold, Cold Heart was no exception. The first issue was quite intriguing, and I liked the idea of ​​having a weapon recovered by the West at the end of the Cold War, developed over the following years, until it was stolen; it's a good starting point, echoing GoldenEye. Unfortunately, what followed was rather random and never memorable.

    I'm reading For King and Country at the moment; it's fun, but I'm not getting any sense of the lead character being James Bond. You could replace him with any spy and nothing would change.

    VARGR and EIDOLON are hard to beat IMO. None of the titles that came after those two have matched their quality.

    That first run from Vargr to Solstice seem to be the Connery era of Dynamite comics. The golden age.

    VARGR, Eidolon, Kill Chain, Hammerhead (a comic which TWINE should've been), and Black Box were the standouts for me.

    Agreed.

    I miss Warren Ellis' contribution to the publishing of these books.
