We already knew that college spin-off Gen V would set up The Boys season 4, but it's now been confirmed that the finale will directly do so with a cliffhanger ending. Be warned, though – there are major spoilers for Gen V episode 7 ahead!

Writer Garth Ennis, co-creator of The Boys, is about to get his hands on one of the most iconic characters in fiction for an all new comic - James Bond. But don't expect the larger-than-life sci-fi super-spy of the long running movie franchise. Instead, Ennis will be delving all the way back to James Bond's original roots in the novels of Ian Fleming for his inspiration.
Kicking off with an all new James Bond #1 through Dynamite Comics, Ennis and veteran James Bond comic artist Rapha Lobosco are dropping this more primal version of Bond into a story titled 'Your Cold, Your Heart' which sends the spy on a mission to track down a Cold War era super weapon.
Here's an early look at some interior pages from the first issue:
"A relic of the Cold War, the deadly compound Stalvoda - roughly meaning 'steel water' in Russian - is thought to have achieved the impossible – the holy grail of arms manufacturers: is it possible to kill an enemy without inflicting any visible damage and leaving no trace whatsoever?" reads Dynamite's official description of the new James Bond #1. "Right as the weapon is perfected, though, it escapes the lab. MI6 naturally assigns their top operative to the hunt."
Dynamite's announcement promises that the new James Bond title will also include appearances from well known Bond supporting characters such as M, Q, and Moneypenny, as well as a brand new character named Archie Tryon, a scientist with a connection to Stalvoda.
"When I took a look at the Bond of the Fleming novels, as opposed to the larger-than-life figure from the movies, I saw a great deal more potential - a much darker character in a more interesting world," Ennis states in the announcement.
James Bond #1 goes on sale in January, with a cover by Dave Johnson, seen above.

The first season of Gen V is almost at an end and the events of season 1's penultimate episode mean that the stakes have never been higher for the students of God U – and, potentially, for the world at large.
EA Motive Studio’s Iron Man game is still in early pre-production, with Unreal Engine 5 being used over Frostbite. In a recent tweet, author Ryan North announced he’s part of the writing team for the upcoming superhero title, adding, “You are not ready for how amazing this game is going to be.”
The Walking Dead franchise has ventured into a lot of different video game genres. But it has yet to infect the match 3 genre, until today.
Despite recent rumors spreading about the potential directors and casting for the reboot movie, it seems like it might take a while longer before fans are introduce to the Daniel Craig’s successor.
It is exceptionally hard to scare someone via comics. Horror in other media relies heavily on implication and anticipation; the artist always knows exactly when and in what order you will experience their story. Comics yield some of that control — it isn’t possible to force people to only see one panel at a time. This doesn’t make comics an inferior medium for horror, it just makes it unlike most others — and it can be hard to find a creator that is effective at scaring you.
Gen V may be a spin-off to The Boys, but with events taking place simultaneously, it was only a matter of time before one impacted the other. Now, the big reveal at the end of episode 6 seems to have done just that, as things get really complicated for the Supes going forward.
Gen V is loaded with cameos from The Boys – and what would a Boys spin-off be without a slightly unsettling cameo from the likes of Soldier Boy? The new series, based on The Boys comic 'We Gotta Go Now,' takes place between The Boys season 3 and the upcoming season 4. Naturally, some of the most prominent characters within The Boys universe make an appearance.
Warning, this article contains minor spoilers from Gen V so far so proceed with caution.
If you’re done with Starfield and want to revisit Bethesda’s most longstanding RPG to date you’ll be glad to know that Skyrim is currently dirt cheap as part of a new sale. I know talk of Skyrim isn’t exactly new, but who can argue with such a good deal for a modern classic.
Miyazaki’s newest final film — The Boy and the Heron — flies into theaters soon. It’ll be available in both subbed and dubbed form, and true to Ghibli form, the dubbed English cast looks majorly stacked.
You'd be forgiven for thinking The Boys' big bad Supe Homelander is an unbeatable opponent, considering not even Soldier Boy could take him down (though spin-off Gen V may have introduced a character who can).
