Dynamite Entertainment has announced that 007 will return in 2024 as celebrated comic book creator Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) teams with Dynamite Entertainment for a brand new James Bond series.
“When I took a look at the Bond of the Fleming novels, as opposed to the larger-than-life figure from the movies, I saw a great deal more potential — a much darker character in a more interesting world,” said Ennis, whose words will be brought to life by artist and Dynamite 007 veteran Rapha Lobosco.
The new series promises to “shake and stir the character in a thrilling tale for fans” and kicks off with a story arc entitled ‘Your Cold, Cold Heart’, finds Bond dealing with a truly disturbing silent killer:
A relic of the Cold War, the deadly compound Stalvoda — roughly meaning “steel water” in Russian — is thought to have achieved the impossible – the holy grail of arms manufacturers: is it possible to kill an enemy without inflicting any visible damage and leaving no trace whatsoever? Right as the weapon is perfected, though, it escapes the lab. MI6 naturally assigns their top operative to the hunt.

James Bond #1 will go on sale in January 2024.
