Following an initial announcement that Van Jensen was signed to write a new season in comic book form for The Six Million Dollar Man, Dynamite continued to make news at Emerald City Comic Con this past weekend.
Dynamite’s big news in terms of new creative content is that James Ellis will be joining artist Jason Masters for a James Bond: Eidolon, and Garth Ennis and Craig Cernak will be returning to the world of Red Team with Red Team: Double Tap, Center Mass.
“I landed on the idea of EIDOLON while reading Umberto Eco’s last book, Numero Zero, which reminded me of Gladio and the ‘stay-behind’ forces embedded in Italy after World War II,” says writer Warren Ellis. “I’d been looking for a way to introduce asymmetrical warfare and modern combat conditions into Bond without being too clunky about it — AQ, Daesh, the movement of money, all the stuff that didn’t necessarily pertain when Fleming was writing. Just as VARGR was about drugs, a subject Fleming barely grazed.”
“Red Team: Double Tap, Center Mass features the return of two of my favorite characters, Detectives Eddie Mellinger and Trudy Giroux of the NYPD,” says writer Garth Ennis. “The first Red Team saw them survive by the skin of their teeth; now they’re dropped right back in at the deep end, with their growing feelings for each other only complicating matters. Writing this series is a real treat for me, and getting to work with Craig Cermak again makes it even better.”
In addition to the previously announced The Six Million Dollar Man redux, Dynamite has another television project: they are aso publishing a comic book follow-up to the Comedy Central cartoon series Brickleberry.
“We are so excited to be in business with Dynamite to tell more Brickleberry stories! Our first issue is an insane tale that picks up where the Brickleberry finale left off,” says series co-creator Waco O’Guin.
“We truly believe this series will make all our Brickleberry fans very happy,”says co-creator, Roger Black. “Also, we are thrilled at the possibility of reaching the tons of comic book fans who might not yet know of the show.”
Dynamite’s Brickleberry comic book series will pick up where the series finale left off in 2015.
Dynamite also has announced some deluxe hardcover projects, including The Art of Atari and a definitive collection of the popular Dawn/Vampirella crossover series, as well as three 2017 Dynamite heroine calendars arriving in June: Red Sonja, Dejah Thoris, and Vampirella.
Following are preview pages released by Dynamite, including samples from James Bond: Eidolon, Red Team: Double Tap, Center Mass, Dawn/Vampirella, and The Art of Atari.
