"The day you stop learning...stop moving forward...is the day you die, they say."
James Bond mourns a lost love even as he closes in on a clandestine organization whose agents would prefer that James die before he gets too close to their secrets. The action continues in this new spy thriller by Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Action Comics) and Marco Finnegan (Kolchak).
007 #2 begins to bring things together after an action-packed opening just as you'd expect in a James Bond film. We got the exciting pre-credit action sequence and now the story's settling in. Overall, it's a solid arc for fans of the character or just looking for a solid action spy thriller. Read Full Review

The last half of the issue deals with Bond turning down taking over the case only to be attacked outside his apartment and abducted by mercenaries from Myrmidon who appear to want to know just how much Bond knows about their plans. A solid issue that underscores the talents of 007, teases us with the toughness of the Myrmidon agents, and sets Bond up all alone on a fight for revenge. Read Full Review
007 #2 is a serviceable second issue in Johnsons latest take on 007. The story reveals a big threat worthy of Bonds talents, and the character development is excellent. However, most of the character development centers on a deceased character who has no bearing on Bonds actions moving forward. Read Full Review
Fantastic! PKJ makes it clear he knows and appreciates the character and so far he’s delivered a story that is enticing and that fans of the original Bond novels and Sean Connery films can enjoy.
