It'll test Bond's deadly talents to their limits, in order to defeat the assassin and avert certain geopolitical disaster... 
MONEYPENNY: Friend of JAMES BOND, former MI6 field agent and bodyguard of M! On a 'routine' protection mission, Moneypenny discovers a complicated assassination plot that bears a startling resemblance to a terrorist attack from her childhood. Can she call upon her secret agent skills to stop the plot...? 
SOLSTICE: 007 accepts an unofficial mission. He travels to Paris, in pursuit of a Russian. But is Bond the hunter, or the hunted?

M: James Bond’s superior, code-named M, scrambles MI6’s secret agents across the globe. Sometimes, he knowingly sends them to their deaths, for the greater good. But a traumatic event from M’s early days in the eld returns to haunt him, forcing M to return to the scene of a crime...HIS crime.

New JAMES BOND 007 series in November

The New York Times reports that a new series from Dynamite called just James Bond 007 will begin in November. It will be written by Greg Pak and drawn by Marc Laming, with colors by Triona Farrell and letters by Ariana Maher. In it, Bond will be joined by a new man of mystery, with impressive fighting skills and a familiar razor-sharp hat...


With this generic title, I'm not sure exactly how or where this fits in the Dynamite universe, but I guess we'll find out in November! Issue #1 will come in four different covers.
