Exclusive Extended Dynamite Previews: James Bond, Army Of Darkness, And More

Published Tue, 14 Nov 2017 13:36:20 -0600

Dynamite Entertainment has had some big weeks in the past, but this week they have 16 new items hitting comic shops and we have exclusive extended previews for six of them. But instead of trying to fit them all into one massive article, I'm going to break them into two. Here are the first eight items Dynamite is shipping this week along with extended previews of Ash vs The Army of Darkness #5, James Bond: Kill Chain #5 and Gumby Imagined: The Art Of Clokey And His Creations.

Ash vs. The Army of Darkness #5
writers: Chad Bowers, Chris Sims artist: Mauro Vargas, Sam Lotfi covers: Brent Schoonover (A) Mauro Vargas (B) Pasquale Qualano (C)

Let's evaluate, class: pages from the Necronomicon have gone missing and Deadites are making a mess of a high school (yikes), so then Ash Williams became a substitute (uhhh…), and an army of anti-Deadite warriors showed up having followed the tradition of Ash's exploits in medieval times (S.M.A.R.T…?). Conclusion: We're boned.

Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files: Dog Men #6
writer: Jim Butcher, Mark Powers artist | cover: Diego Galindo

Jim Butcher's worldwide bestselling Dresden Files saga continues in this original limited series! – It's all come down to this – two factions of supernatural predators go to war, with a town caught in the middle! To save hundreds of innocents, Harry needs to form an alliance that could very well blow up in his face. He also needs to reconcile his own sense of anger and guilt once and for all – because if he doesn't, it could turn him into the kind of threat he's spent his life fighting.

Fruit Ninja #3

Based on the adorable BILLION-times-downloaded game! In this cram-packed issue:
-The MODERN FRUIT NINJAS fight ice villains with cloudberries!

Greatest Adventure #7

The crew of the villainous Resolve continues on their quest for the rare gemstone known as the Eye of Judgment –the final component that will allow them to build a war machine of terrible power – but there's still hope yet, as the two greatest heroes of Earth and Mars—Tarzan and John Carter—have joined forces!

James Bond: Felix Leiter HC

But when the mission takes a turn for the worse, he will discover that there are more deadly schemes afoot in Tokyo and beyond! From superstar creative team James Robinson (Starman, Red Sonja) and Aaron Campbell (The Shadow, Uncanny) comes the Bond spin-off highlighting 007's American counterpart, blending spy thrills with the dark alleys and darker deeds of crime fiction!

James Bond: Vargr TP
writer: Warren Ellis artist: Jason Masters cover: Gabriel Hardman

After a mission of vengeance in Helsinki, James Bond returns to London and assumes the workload of a fallen 00 Section agent. His new mission takes him to Berlin, presumably to break up an agile drug-trafficking operation. But Bond has no idea of the forces ranged in secret against him, the full range of an operation that's much scarier and more lethal than he could possibly imagine. Berlin is about to catch fire… and James Bond is trapped inside. Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents VARGR, the debut storyline in the all-new James Bond comic book series, as crafted by masterful writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority) and artist Jason Masters (Batman Incorporated, Guardians of the Galaxy).
