Guess I'll give Hammerhead a shot! Thanks!
The novels usually give some background about the villains in them, so it could be interesting to see them adapt some of that into film. I am curious if they will eventually bring Jaws into the main series. I love the character and as far as I know he never appeared in the novels
Jaws is definitely one of the most memorable villains, and possibly the only one to make multiple appearances, except for Blofeld?
I ought to read the novels, but I have so much back reading I'm trying to do, and exams :P
Rewatched Dr. No the other day. I hadn't seen it in years and was surprised at how well it held up for me. Amazing what they were able to do with the limited budget they had
Dr. No is one of my favourites. That dragon!
Did anybody get Hammerhead this week? I loved the scene with Bond's car Looks like we will get the big reveal on who Kraken is in the next issue - the obvious choice is Hunt, but y'never know. Also, I purposefully didn't read the preview for Felix. I mean, it was practically half an issue, so I'm then going to pay for half of an issue later... Unless it is additional to the first issue, but I don't think that it is.
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
I finally got the chance to read the latest issue of Hammerhead. I enjoyed the car scene as well, though it did remind me of when the Tinkerer reprogrammed the Spider-mobile to kill Spider-man. I also liked the scene of Bond sitting in the chair waiting on the one mercenary to come downstairs. Reminded me a bit of Casino Royale. I had no self-discipline and ended up reading the Felix preview. I thought it was enjoyable and am looking forward to that series starting in January.
Me too, I feel like Felix has lots of potential. I thought that the last Eidolon issue was coming out today, but it wasn't in my pull box. Just 'Ether' today. Conflicting reports of this week and next week, so I guess it is next week :P
I think that 6 issue arcs work well in Bond.
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
I had the same reaction as well when I got my pull list yesterday. Has there been any reason given for the delay?
And yeah, I agree that the six issue arc usually works out well, though I do like when some writers mix it up a bit an give us shorter arcs here and there.
Well, Dynamite says 21st and Comixology says 28th :/ I can't find anything so I guess it isn't actually a delay, just a typo maybe?
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
No Eidolon again this week, strange... Anybody get it?
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
I picked up my pull list today (I didn't get the chance to go last week) and Eidolon was in there. Sadly, I haven't had the chance to read the issue yet today.
I quite enjoyed the newspaper strips that were reprinted in the omnibus edition's, they were direct illustrations of the novels. Has anyone else read them?
Hail Hydra!
I never knew that there was a newspaper series. That's awesome! Do you know how many Omnibus series they have released for it?
I had no idea either!
The Eidolon finale is good, but very short. Half of the book was again a preview of Felix. I mean, is there any point buying Felix, we are basically getting it already :P
“We have a saying, my people. Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.”
Oh, that sucks. It makes me slightly less excited to read the issue when I get the chance. Hopefully with Felix coming out next week it will decrease how many of these previews we are getting.
