THE BOYS creator is developing a “much darker” version of James Bond in a comic book series

The co-creator of The boys, Garth Ennisis jumping into the world of James Bond with a brand new comic book series. This will be a “much darker” version of the 007 franchise than we’ve seen before and the inspiration behind the story it will tell is rooted in Ian Fleming’s novels. Looks like it will tell a great story!

James Bond #1 is in development for Dynamite Comics, and Ennis will be joined by veteran comics artist James Bond Rapha Loboscoand the story is titled “Your Cold, Your Heart,” and features the iconic spy on a mission to track down a Cold War-era superweapon.

As soon as the weapon is perfected, however, he escapes from the laboratory. MI6 naturally assigns its best agent to the hunt.”

The James Bond comic will also feature appearances from members of Bond’s supporting characters including M, Q and Moneypenny, as well as a brand new character called Archie Tryon, a scientist with a connection to Stalvoda.

Ennis said in the announcement: “When I took a look at the Bond of the Fleming novels, as opposed to the larger-than-life figure from the films, I saw much more potential: a much darker character in a more interesting context.” world.”
