    Alan Moore has been hating on Bond for a long time. He wrote an introduction for The Dark Knight Returns that mentioned Bond's "fundamental hatred of women." And his treatment of the character in The Black Dossier was a hateful, stupid travesty based on a warped notion of what Fleming's Bond was "really" like. So I have very little interest in The Tempest and his supercilious trashing of other writers' characters.

    Don't worry, same here. Plus, he's a hypocrite, plundering and pillaging other's works (here and in Lost Girls), while asking that others either treat his creations with respect, or not at all. Sorry, can't work both ways.

    He's definitely a hypocrite. I don't know what's about him, but he always provides his female characters with physical abuse. And that's putting it lightly.

    Let's do a Dynamite comics ranking list, because no one else has done it. Not I have not read The Body or the one shots. I will be waiting for the hardcovers of both.

    1. Hammerhead
    2. Eidolon
    3. Kill Chain
    4. Casino Royale
    5. Felix Leiter
    6. Vargr

    I will possibly update when more stories come out.

    I'll wait until the hard covers are released before I read any of the one shots or the Body

    I believe I did rank the Bond comics overall many times on this thread, but I'll list them all again. It includes every existing Bond comic book since 1962 minus The Body (which will never be on my list) and the spinoffs.

    1. Serpent's Tooth
    2. Hammerhead
    3. Permission To Die
    4. Solstice
    5. Kill Chain
    6. Dr. No
    7. A Silent Armageddon (sadly this comic went incomplete.)
    8. The Quasimodo Gambit
    9. Licence To Kill
    10. Casino Royale
    11. VARGR
    12. Light of My Death
    13. Minute of Midnight
    14. GoldenEye (even though it's officially incomplete, I got my hands on the rest of the series.)
    15. For Your Eyes Only
    16. Eidolon
    17. Service
    18. Octopussy
    19. Shattered Helix
    20. Black Box (the art is the letdown of this effort for the most part.)

    Non-Dynamite comics (worth including):

    1. Serpents Tooth
    2. Permission to Die

    Dynamite comics:

    3. Kill Chain
    4. Hammerhead
    5. Solstice
    6. Vargr
    7. Black Box
    8. Felix Leiter
    9. Casino Royale
    10. Eidolon


    Though Hammerhead and Killchain are pretty much equal for me.

    Boy everyone wants to do a prequel to Casino Royale now! I'm feeling confident that this will be great! Jeff Parker did a great period piece in Batman 66. The illustrations are unique in color as well!

    Question: is there an on line reference that collects the release/publish dates for the Dynamite comics or Bond comics?

    Thanks, @ggl007, that's a very good reference for all the Bond comics coming out over the years.

    More specifically I'm looking for a roll-up of the Dynamite comic publication dates by date, month, year. For example, Wikipedia and other sources do that for the Daily Express comic strips with John McLusky and others.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond_(comic_strip)#Art_by_John_McLusky
    __________Title / Writer ________/ Date _____________________________ / Serial no.
    Casino Royale / Anthony Hern / July 7, 1958 - December 13, 1958/ 1-138


    Or for the Dynamite comics issuance, do they exist as Month-Year only?

    M is definitely based on Bernard Lee.

    That looks like Sean Bean talking to M :D Is that Bond?

    Ok I was just catching up on this thread reading all the posts from last few months :D

    I really hope LALD isn't "adapted for today's time" and is an actual adaptation of the novel. (that is if it happens..and I hope it does)

    Also..not too big of a fan of prequels or origin stories so...a 007 origin story? Meh, sounds like a gimmick for ..whatever their reasoning is...to make it more reletable to young adults? idk..

    the "James Bond 007" covers look amazing! I hope the series is as good as the covers..

    ok i am done with the Body.
    I have kept mostly quiet, but #5 just pushed it way too far.

    Ales Kot has absolutely no grasp of who this character is or what the franchise is.
    This is easily the worst piece of fan fiction that i have ever come across in 20+ years.
    And i have enjoyed EVERY continuation author except one (Deaver, too many twists). And even he had a better grasp of Bond and the formula.

    I am baffled at the fact that both Dynamite and IFP have greenlit this garbage.


    Why didn't you like Deaver? I really enjoyed his book :/
    It's as bad as Canada's first unauthorized Bond book, License Expired, if not worse.

    What happened with that? Was that officially sold? Is it pulled back from sales?
    Have you read it? What's the plot of it and dont' spare any spoilers :D

    Meanwhile, Bond appears in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen : The Tempest, the first issue being out now. I'll have to warn you, though : Bond fans are not going to like it any more than they liked The Black Dossier. Although, there's a scene that'll probably make some of us laugh (no spoilers, here).

    Not a big comic guy, dare to explain more? I tried googling it and can they use the character to that extent without being sued? He has the gun, the 007 on the gun and his last name is Bond as far as I understood correct?
