An all-new nail-biting Bond mission from superstar Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Action Comics) and Giorgio Spalletta (Red Sonja). Accused of murder on British soil, James Bond has been branded a traitor by his own government. As M sends the entire 00 division after 007, Bond must go underground with only one ally: Gwendolyn Gann, 003 - another traitor, presumed dead, secretly on a clandestine mission with global implications.
This book is a great example of who the creative process should work, with writer, artist, colorists and letterer producing their best work for a character that Dynamite have breathed new life into over the last few years. Read Full Review
Overall this is a fun read and I quite like where it could be going in future issues. Read Full Review
007: FOR KING AND COUNTRY #1 starts a new arc as a continuation of the previous arc where James Bond was all but beaten by the nefarious Myrmidon organization. Phillip Kennedy Johnson's writing is tighter and clearer, and a switch-up in the art team results in a visually-improved comic. Read Full Review
007: For King and Country #1 is an entertaining opening that puts Bond in an interesting position. It's one we've seen before to some extent but with how things are presented, it's never quite felt to this level. Add in how the issue wraps up, and this is a new series where it feels like everything is on the table and no one can be trusted. It's Bond on his own versus the world. Read Full Review
Solid first issue with the action bookended a bored 007 living in hiding with Gwendolyn Gann for much of the comic, getting grouchier day by day, before new trouble comes calling. Read Full Review
It's been fun to see James Bond have to resort to seclusion, and not rely on his super spy network and fancy gadgets. Read Full Review
A good start to a mystery and action book. I like the plot, but I wish Johnson set Bond up in his traditional fashion before bringing him low. Looking forward to where the series goes and Linser is killing it on the covers.
Over all story telling 8
Art 7.5
Dialog 7.5
Flow 8
Plot 5 (Nanorobotics) to elaborate!
However, I would recommend to any James Bond Fan
