A new, darker era is just around the corner for Bond, James Bond. Dynamite Entertainment has announced that a brand new "James Bond" comic book series is set to hit shelves early next year, with none other than Garth Ennis writing the upcoming adventures for 007. Ennis, known for his work on "The Boys" and "Preacher," promises to bring a darker edge to the character more closely associated with author Ian Fleming's literary creation.
"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," Ennis said in a press release. 2023 marks the 70th anniversary of Bond, with the character first appearing in Fleming's "Casino Royale" in 1953. This announcement was made as part of the celebration. As for what Ennis has in store for Bond?...

Even The Losers get lucky sometimes. Before the Dceu was formed to compete against the ever-expanding, cash cow that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the approach at Warner Bros. was far looser. With the booming business of comic book adaptations in full swing, the studio was throwing money at several eclectic comic book titles like Watchmen and Jonah Hex, trying to stay competitive and seemingly more adult than their rivals. Hence before leaving to create his own superhero project, Hancock, writer-director Peter Berg started penning an adaptation of DC/Vertigo’s The Losers, bringing in French director Sylvain White to helm the picture.
Produced by Joel Silver, The Losers centered on a team of elite, black-ops Special Forces operatives betrayed by their handler. Director White connected with the material immediately.
“What appealed to me about The Losers was that it wasn’t the typical superhero-with-superpowers thing,” White told MTV. “It...

When I first got into comics I would only really see Green Arrow in DC group shots in adverts and stuff. My train of thought at the time was ‘Oh The Avengers have an archer so naturally so do the Jla.’ I really got into the character a few years later when I picked up Kevin Smiths ‘Quiver’ story arc from the local library. I was going with the association of Smith’s name rather than anything else, but I absolutely loved it! Later from the same library I was able to pick up the following story arc. Fast forward a few years from that and all of a sudden Oliver Queen is the face of a brand new TV series that would run for 8 seasons and launch a very successful DC TV universe. Hopefully the show has done its job and brought a new audience to Green Arrow comics.

Hello again, and welcome to the recently resurrected Panel Discussion. I’m Kieran, and every week I’m going to go through some of the best comics of the week to give you an idea what you should pick up that you might have missed. This is another stacked week with some fantastic first issues and great jumping on points for books you might be behind on, so let’s take a look at what’s on offer.

The Story of 2000Ad tells the story of the UK science-fiction comic that changed the face of the industry – a comprehensive overview of its history, a warts-and-all. A peek inside the creative process of its most famous creators, and a funny, moving and passionate chronicle of how a band of talented eccentrics assembled to create a visionary and extraordinary comic that’s still a game-changer 36 years on.
First published in 1977, 2000Ad was violent, anti-authoritarian, blackly funny and above all, idiosyncratically British… and was – at its birth – seen as a dangerous, anarchic and totally anti-establishment.

Arrow season 4's latest filler episode delivers two sidekick-centric storylines for Felicity and Diggle...
This review contains spoilers.
4.11 A.W.O.L.
Until now, Arrow has always, disappointingly, made the struggles of its supporting characters all about Oliver. When it was confirmed that the outcome of Darhk's attack would leave Felicity wheelchair-bound, it was a significant worry that her paralysis would simply be an excuse for the show to backtrack on Oliver's attitude adjustment. He doesn't handle tragedy well and, despite his relatively lighthearted demeanour this season, old habits die hard.
And to a certain extent this can be expected given the fact that Oliver is the show's solo protagonist. But at a certain point fans attach to the supporting cast and, on Arrow especially, the hero becomes one of the least interesting ingredients in the recipe.
What a relief, then, that the episode decided to focus...

It often seems that Arrow struggles out of the blocks when it comes back from the mid-season break. Episode 9 is typically great, usually even the best of the season, but then it has to take a month or two off and loses all of that momentum.
It was certainly the case in Season 3, though that wasn’t helped by Oliver being ‘dead’, and it’s proving to be the case again in Season 4. A.W.O.L., much like last week’s Blood Debts, is still a solid episode, but Arrow still isn’t fully back on track in 2016. The signs are that it’s getting there though.
As promised there was a break from Damien Darhk this week, as we instead had the yearly episode that focuses on Lyla, Diggle, and Amanda Waller (though this time there was no Suicide Squad along for the ride). A.R.

The first promo has been released for next week’s episode of Arrow, and it picks up almost immediately after the events of tonight’s instalment (which revolved around the return of Ray Palmer). As it turns out, The Atom being kept prisoner by Damien Darhk isn’t the only secret the villain is keeping; he also has something – or someone – very close to Diggle!
That’s right, Andy Diggle is still alive. That’s despite the fact that Diggle was told that Deadshot assassinated him, and it looks like the recent revelation that he may not have been a very good guy also wasn’t true.

Grant Morrison, Neil Gaiman, Pat Mills and John Wagner are amongst the talking heads in the first full documentary about the mighty 2000Ad.
It feels surprising that no one has attempted to chart the history of 2000Ad in a documentary before, given its legacy, but with its current upward trajectory and the devotion that it inspires (especially in the wake of the critically acclaimed but commercially melancholy film of Judge Dredd) it’s probably the best time to make a feature with a positive outlook.
Future Shock! is the work of Paul Goodwin, whose main task appears to have been assembling a wealth of talent to interview. With the exception of Alan Moore, Mark Millar and Garth Ennis, the big names are all present, which means you get to see Neil Gaiman sitting in front of an apparently colour coded bookcase, Bryan Talbot enthusiastically miming someone being impaled on a sword,...

Hugh Jackman has played Logan aka Wolverine in seven different films. It’s an impressive number that will shortly increase with a third solo Wolverine film and possibly X-Men:Apocalypse, although at the time of writing he has yet to be officially cast. A few other names are snapping at the heels of Jackman, notably the cast of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. If you include the forthcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, Chris Evans has played Captain America four times (five if you include his appearance as Loki using magic to look like the first Avenger in Thor: The Dark World), Scarlett Johansson and Chris Hemsworth have portrayed Black Widow and Thor respectively four times each whilst the King of the McU, Robert Downey Jr. has made an impressive six appearances as Iron Man/Tony Stark (including his post-credit appearance in The Incredible Hulk).
Unfortunately for Hugh Jackman, as far as this article is concerned,...

This week on The CW’s Arrow, newlyweds John and Lyla apparently registered at Bloodbath & Beyond, while Oliver and Ray each discovered how the other likes to dress up at night.
RelatedArrow’s David Ramsey Previews Diggle vs. Ra’s and the ‘Very Serious’ H.I.V.E. Threat
As Diggle-centric episodes go, “Suicidal Tendencies” probably was my favorite to date, largely because in addition to giving much-needed focus to Team Arrow’s lone uncostumed hero, it served up solid B-stories on the periphery.
The wedding itself was short but sweet in the way it had fun showing how...

Priorities are about to shift on Arrow – and fast!
The CW’s comic-book drama airs its last original episode tonight before heading into a brief break, and boy, is it a doozy. (Mark our words: You’ll be talking about this one for a while.) Filled to the brim with tangled romances, surprising truth bombs and game-changing propositions, “Nanda Parbat” – marking the return of Nyssa and Ra’s al Ghul – is the ultimate winter capper. Oliver (and Diggle)’s mission: Travel to Nanda Parbat, land of Ra’s and the League of Assassins, to rescue Thea’s father Malcolm Merlyn.
“It’s designed to be this crazy cliffhanger with all this amazing stuff in it,” executive producer Andrew Kreisberg said of tonight’s episode. “Seeing what [Thea]’s willing to do and seeing what Oliver’s willing to do for her soul. … Seeing what happens to Malcolm after these episodes – it’s the most screwed-up family show we...

This week we're giving away two copies of Green Arrow: Year One graphic novel! Check out the rules below to find out how you can win your very own copy in your choice of platform! How did the reckless playboy known as Oliver Queen become the Green Arrow? Why did he do it? You can find out in Green Arrow: Year One! “I would expect no less from Andy Diggle and Jock, two of my favorite creators making comics today. These two have both done excellent work with other collaborators, but they also make up one of those rare writer/artist duos that consistently bring out the best in each other. They’re even greater than the sum of their exemplary parts, much like—wait for it—the proverbial bow and arrow.” – Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Y: The Last Man) Discover Oliver Queen's journey from reckless playboy to humble hero...
