Comic Book Icon Grant Morrison to Pen New James Bond Series for IDW Publishing

In a surprising turn of events at NYCC 2026, it has been announced that the iconic comic book series James Bond will be getting a new ongoing series published by IDW Publishing. The honor of bringing this project to life has been bestowed upon the renowned writer Grant Morrison, known for his work on New X-Men and Doom Patrol. While specifics such as the artist, official title, and release date remain undisclosed, the mere announcement of Grant Morrison's involvement has generated significant excitement among fans.

The series is set to commence with a six-part storyline titled "Sunbreaker." In an interview, Morrison expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity, stating that it was too good to miss. He praised the challenge of putting his own stamp on a character as iconic as King Arthur, Robin Hood, or Sherlock Holmes. According to Morrison, the opening six-part adventure aims to create a definitive Bond story, incorporating everything fans love about the character and his world while adding fresh elements.

Sunbreaker promises to transport readers into a world of intrigue, violence, double-cross, and deception, where James Bond navigates a world that mirrors our own but with a deadly funhouse mirror twist.

The series will introduce James Bond to unfamiliar situations, adversaries, and a world that is both deadly and thrilling. Expect to see Bond engaging with a cast of new foes and experiencing a level of peril that is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats. With a protagonist as charismatic, ruthless, and unstoppable as ever, coupled with new cars, cutting-edge gadgets, and a villain as terrifying as the headlines provide, Sunbreaker is poised to be a thrilling addition to the James Bond canon.

This new James Bond series marks IDW Publishing's collaboration with Ian Fleming Publications Ltd., a partnership that complements IDW's existing relationship with the James Bond license, which has been held by various publishers in the past, including Dynamite Entertainment. Fans can look forward to IGN's review of the first issue, which offers a sneak peek into the world of Sunbreaker.

In addition to the James Bond news, IGN also covered other exciting developments, including exclusive looks at Mattel's DC Premium figures and hands-on experience with the new Marvel Webtoon app.
