As tensions rise between MI6 and CIA, James Bond investigates the death of a fellow agent. Someone is smuggling military-grade weapons to European neo-Nazis, an arms pipeline stretching from the gutters of Munich to the upper echelons of Swiss high society. The trail will lead 007 to an old friend, a deadly betrayal, and an enigmatic art connoisseur named Chantal Chevalier.
While Kill Chain's story still doesn't feel fully formed at this point, Diggle and Casalanguida are immersing us more into the state of the world at this point and the frictions that exist. That works well to set the tone and to show how the dynamic works from the top to the bottom level and how field agents themselves are handling it. The story does move forward here and we get some interesting areas along the way but also some really fun action and hints as to what's to come. I'm also just glad to get a bit more Felix here and continue to hope for another miniseries for the character, or a Tiger Tanaka series. There's a lot of areas to mine in the Bond franchise.

A good second issue that loses sight of the villains. Read Full Review
This is a bit of a bridge issue, taking us from one place to another, but was still a great read. This creative team works in unison to bring the near-mythological secret agent to life as we remember him, while adding some wrinkles to make this story stand out from the pack. Read Full Review
This James Bond series is pretty interesting. It is very well written and I like the art.
