One of the alternate covers for the new James Bond comic book
The new James Bond comic book published by Dynamite Entertainment will have some alternate covers, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES REPORTED.
Here’s an excerpt of the story:
When he returns to comics this November, not only will 007’s new Dynamite Entertainment series be helmed by Warren Ellis and Jason Masters, it will feature an A-List roster of artists providing variant covers for the first issue.
CBR News has the exclusive first look at the covers for “James Bond” #1, the first chapter of “VARGR,” a story that will find the world-famous secret agent fighting for his life in the wake of another 00 agent’s demise. Illustrated by Dom Reardon, Jock, Gabriel Hardman, Stephen Mooney, Dan Panosian, Francesco Francavilla, and Glenn Fabry, the covers call back to the character’s pulp roots.
“Variant,” or alternate, covers are a way to entice buyers of comic books to purchase multiple copies of the same issue.
James Bond will provide the climax for “The Year of the Spy.” In September, the new 007 continuation novel, Trigger Mortis, is scheduled to be published as well as a collection of unauthorized Bond stories in Canada, where Ian Fleming’s original literary stories are in the public domain.
SPECTRE, the 24th James Bond film, will debut in the U.K. in October and in the U.S. on Nov. 6.

I was really hoping Alex Ross would be contributing covers to this series. And in what universe is Dan Panosian an A-list comic artist?
Don’t like it. Looks just like Superman. Needs to look like the way Fleming described him.
