In James Bond #2, a talented creative team continues to deliver on this storys big promise, using the character of Keyes to create an excellent tension of style and motivations with James Bond. Read Full Review

Another great, fast-paced issue. This has all the fun and excitement that a Bond movie does, and that ever comic should. Read Full Review

Genuinely, this book excels in its ability to offer a subtle critique of our mythos of James Bond. It's really when I witness the humanity of Bond that I care about the character in earnest. This book definitely succeeds in its ability to create a long-form artistic critique of a mythos. Read Full Review

Bond's character feels like more of a supporting role at this point, but given how charming the other two protagonists are, that's not a bad thing. Read Full Review

This new volume of James Bond is an interesting one. It's a slow build that's intriguing in a noir/crime sort of way. This isn't over the top action and fancy gadgets. The first two issues are good but the pacing might mean waiting for the trade or binge-reading will enhance the enjoyment a bit. It's a slow burn that's more reminiscent of a crime/spy prose story than anything else. Fans of Bond that's not about crazy sets and implausible will enjoy this one. Read Full Review

Dynamite Entertainment have been producing high quality James Bond comics for a few years now. With a new movie out this year, I hope that Dynamite reap the benefits. There is however, a fly in the ointment in that the book, especially this one, is maybe a tad too far from the movie. It is a problem that every film and comic book relationship has to overcome. That sounds like a mission for Bond, James Bond. Read Full Review

James Bond doesn't change much overall from the first installment of this new series and that's unfortunate. I think we have all the right pieces for a good story from strong creative but something is missing in getting it to really hit right and move forward, lacking a clearer or more important throughline of a story. Bond gets more time here than he did in the first issue and that helps but he's still something of a cipher through this creative team outside of his being far more skilled than the rest. I like the way the trio are operating here and getting things done together since it's not seamless at all, which makes for some amusing frustration on Bond's part. Hopefully things get better the next time around or in the next arc. Read Full Review

This was an unfortunate step in the wrong direction. The story not only hasn’t picked up but has dropped a little. The focus being off 007 in the last issue may have hidden the lack of excitement, but when he shows up for this issue there is still little to be seen. The characters aren’t displaying anything special leading to a lack of bond to this James. The art stays nice, but without room in the story to show anything exciting, its all for naught.
