Garth Ennis assigned to write a "darker" James Bond
One of comicdom's most left-wing writers has been given an assignment by Dynamite to write another of their takes on Agent 007, according to Newsarama, through an angle we've all heard about before:
And depending how one views this, drawing on the original Cold War is way too easy compared to what the world's facing now, with Islamic terrorism and even a neo-communist threat embodied by Vladimir Putin's Russia, based on its declaration of war against Ukraine. What's the use of continuing to script stories like 007's if you can't explore challenging issues from a modern day perspective? This is exactly why telling everyone the story in the James Bond comics is going to be dark is pointless.
Writer Garth Ennis, co-creator of The Boys, is about to get his hands on one of the most iconic characters in fiction for an all new comic - James Bond. But don't expect the larger-than-life sci-fi super-spy of the long running movie franchise. Instead, Ennis will be delving all the way back to James Bond's original roots in the novels of Ian Fleming for his inspiration.I just don't understand how these fools think taking a direction actor Daniel Craig pretty much took with his portrayal in recent movies is going to impress anybody, let alone hiring somebody like Ennis to do the job. And since we're on the subject, one must wonder what he himself thinks of the recent bowdlerizing the publisher now in charge of Ian Fleming's original novels visited upon the classic books. Indeed, one must wonder if Ennis' comics will be as watered down as the novels may have now become in their new renditions?
Kicking off with an all new James Bond #1 through Dynamite Comics, Ennis and veteran James Bond comic artist Rapha Lobosco are dropping this more primal version of Bond into a story titled 'Your Cold, Your Heart' which sends the spy on a mission to track down a Cold War era super weapon.
[...] "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 states in the announcement.
