I appreciate Marc Laming's artwork. It almost has an old-school 1960s style, which works well for Bond, even though the story is clearly set in contemporary times. I am uncertain how long this particular story will run, but I hope he is in for the long haul. I'm looking forward to the ride. Read Full Review

I'm looking forward to seeing where this series goes as Greg Pak can certainly spin a yarn and there's the appeal for many writers in getting to craft something for Bond. What I'm looking forward to is seeing if he leans into any of the film formula elements or more from the novels – or eschewing both and blazing his own path. Dynamite has had some great writers and artists working on Bond for the last couple of years and both Pak and Laming along with Farrell have a lot of potential based on this first installment. I'm admittedly hedging my bets a bit because of my wariness over a new ongoing but all the right elements are here and I'm hoping that the team can pull it off by the end of the opening arc.

While the beginning of the issue starts off at a slow burn, Pak and Laming are pushing some unexpected boundaries with James Bond 007 #1 " and whether it's intentional or not, the end result of Bond and Oddjob's bromance is something that doesn't feel like any other 007 adventure we've seen so far. With thrilling action, wonderful artwork, and a mainstay villain being revamped for the 21st century, this is a book you should not miss. Read Full Review

With a reinvention of a classic Bond villain, Pak, Laming et. al. start strong with this new series. Read Full Review

Writer Greg Pak delivers a solid introductory issue, although he waits a bit too long to get Bond into his own comic. While not completely sold, there's enough here that leaves me curious what's next for 007. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Overall, the issue is a pretty average read and enjoyable if you're a James Bond fan, though the mystery the issue sets up isn't likely going to hold the attention of those without some sort of genuine interest in the character from movies. Read Full Review

In the end, James Bond: 007 is unlikely to win over those who aren't already fans of Bond or Garth Ennis. It is unapologetic in being what it is. Thankfully for Dynamite, it is also everything the fans might hope for. Read Full Review
