New Ongoing Bond Comic (Page 3 of 6)

Got the first issue of Eidolon and I must stay that I enjoyed so far. Hope that James Bond gets the girl this time.

They are doing Casino Royale - out November

Got issue #8 of Eidolon today, it was a great read with lots of action. Eidolon is an old term for spectre or ghost, as M mentions during his debriefing with Bond and Bill Tanner. Also both Tanner and Bond have correctly guessed that someone is working behind the scenes prevent the information Cadence Birdsong has from being learned. Looking forward to the next issue.

Short but good interview with the new writer of the Bond comic 'Hammerhead', Andy Diggle:

'Hammerhead' sounds interesting. Mine is something of a minority view, but I like it when the socio-political aspects of James Bond are explored, and I appreciate that Diggle asks "Is 007 a force for positive change, or a protector of vested interests?" It's a question worth asking.

Just arrived today. Apart from Vagr I never read 007 Comics. However this being the classic version 1958-1960, it got me interested. Another addition or addiction (?) to the 007 literature collection.

Got issue number 3 of the Felix Leiter series today, looking forward to reading it. Also I am hoping to get Hammerhead # 6 soon, as my local comic book dealer sold out of it before I could purchase a copy. Really enjoying seeing James Bond in comic book form again after having read all of the Daily Express newspaper strips(via Titan Books collections of them) and a majority of the Dark Horse stories as well.  Permission To Die holds a special place for me since it was the first comic book adventure that I read and it took me two and half years to complete the series.

The fourth issue of the Felix Leiter series arrives this week, really looking forward to reading. Also I plan on pre-ordering Service, the one shot comic that arrives in May, and I cannot wait for the next issue of Black Box to arrive. Hope that the sales pick up, MI6 reported that beginning with issue #2 of VARGR sales of the James Bond series have not been strong. Still other titles based on movies & TV properties have gone through difficulties  with sales and are still around. With no major news on Bond 25 and no new video games, I have come to really enjoy the comic books.

The Dynamite comic universe has already become more important to me than the actual current cinematic era, despite the fact that SPECTRE is one of my favourite films in the series.

The books I have of VARGR EIDOLON and HAMMERHEAD are the German-language versions. The hard cover Special Editions.

Not to forget one shots SERVICE and MONEYPENNY that will come out.

FELIX LEITER special edition hard cover book is already pre-ordered too. As are BLACK BOX and KILL CHAIN
SPLITTER is publishing these books on the German-language market and they are doing a fantastic job.

CASINO ROYALE is hitting the shelves this October, with Matthew Southworth back on the art, and Fay Dalton doing the cover, according to The Book Bond blogspot.

Just a head's up Black Box #5 arrives on July 5th, looking forward to reading it. Also the Felix Leiter story was a lot of fun, it was great seeing Tiger Tanaka in action again.

Kill Chain looks like it is going to fun to read. Also I enjoyed the Moneypenny one shot story as well. It was quite like how I would imagine a short film with Moneypenny as the lead character might play out. James Bond himself does appear as well, sadly it is only for a single panel in the story and he does not contribute much, unlike his appearances in the Felix Leiter story.

Should any of you gents use comixology and/or have an amazon account (parent company), there's currently a JB sale going on. Each single issue goes for 0.89 EUR (or 0.99 USD / 0.whatever GBP) apiece. All series/specials available including Vargr, Eidolon, Hammerhead, Black Box and even the Felix Leiter mini. No CR though (hasn't been released yet, has it?).

Though paper is undeniably classier, it's nice knowing you can have a quick read while travelling and/or minding your business... you know what I mean.
