    @BeatlesSansEarmuffs, I didn't know you worked in comics once. Care to share your experiences? It's a pipe dream of mine to be a comics artist.

    Mostly did distribution and promotion. Wrote only a few short published scripts. No artwork, sorry but I'm not that sort of an artist. These days I'm in a different field entirely but I worked in the comics biz for 15 years and got to rub elbows with a few big names. I do have a little more awareness of the business side of comics than some others may have, that's all...

    Impressive and thanks for sharing.

    Just a thought and a double post (sorry) as we gear up for Eidolon #10 and Hammerhead.

    What if in the Eidolon arc someone close to Bond ends up as part of Spectre secret army? Like say M?

    Seriously doubt ...seems kinda fan fiction or amateurish but really more of a babble from me.

    I could see that as a possibility. Doubtful of it being M though. Tanner? MP?

    Ellis's M assuming not Sir Miles is the only character introduced by Ellis. Moneypenny and Tanner are Fleming's albeit modern interpretations. That's why I said M. I'm not sure if Q is supposed to be Boothroyd or not.

    I really don't think that's happening but if it did I'd have more faith in Ellis pulling that off than Logan's lame brain idea having Tanner a trader in early SP drafts.

    Q is Boothroyd. He was called by that name many times. And no, I don't think the MI-6 is infiltrated. It's the MI-5 that's a belonging of SPECTRE... Or Miss Birdwhistle is part of them, having planted a backdoor or a leak in the MI-6 database.

    You're right. And I really don't think MI6 is infiltrated either.

    It's likely that Birdwhistle planted a virus and/or a backdoor when she checked into the MI-6 database. And now we know the head of MI-5 and his trusted confidants are SPECTRE sleeper agents.

    That cover art just screams sheer awesomeness to me... I have a phrase for it...

    "All The Time In The World".

    @ClarkDevlin but it does puts your 'Birdwhistle is a Spectre agent' theory to rest :)

    ...actually not really.
    seems there might be more to it than we think

    I love how the artwork just covers up all the flashbacks from the previous issues dramatically into Bond's shadow... I can't help but hear Straw's version of the TWINE song in my mind as I stare into the cover.

    It screams retro pulp fiction.

    Am I understanding correctly that #10 is due next week and #11 due later in the month?

    The tuxedo element that went missing in Ellis/Masters's run, returns in Hammerhead.

    Dynamite Entertainment, who picked up the license to publish comic books based on Ian Fleming's James Bond 007, has just revealed the very first ever spin-off of the franchise in which our Flemingesque hero isn't the lead of the venture, but his best friend at the CIA is, who apparently by now, is an independent investigator (possibly a jab at his career at Pinkerton).

    It's slated for January 2017 release.

    Full details here:

    I'm not down with film spin-offs, but as a comic series, this could turn out well. Felix Leiter is a fantastic character. There's a good reason Fleming featured him in roughly half his Bond novels. Unfortunately the closest approximation we've seen of Fleming's character on film has been Bernie Casey's in Never Say Never Again (though I quite like Hedison's take as well and think he wasn't too far off the mark, considering the competition). Would be great to see a more accurate take on the character in the films one day. For now, if they stick to Fleming's version, a series of comics following his career with Pinkerton's could prove really entertaining. Of all Fleming's characters, he's really the one who could best hold his own as a lead apart from Bond.
