    Following in the footsteps of Ellen Ripley and Wonder Woman, Moneypenny proves she's not some damsel in distress, but one serious ass-kicking agent. Read Full Review

    The Pop Break - Marisa Carpico Aug 31, 2017

    With the exception of Skyfall, Moneypenny has often been used as little more than set-dressing in the Bond movies. In her first solo comic, writer Jody Houser proves she's just as good an agent as Bond. The issue is a solid little spy thriller that's as good as any of Dynamite's Bond titles. Hopefully we'll get more. Read Full Review

    It's an excellent story and if it doesn't earn a spin-off, there is no justice in the world. Read Full Review

    I think Houser may have been able to provide a fuller Moneypenny story had she had more than just the one issue to impress us with. Read Full Review

    Razorfine - Alan Rapp Aug 31, 2017

    Despite the story jumping back-and-forth, the comic is a quick read and Egar has fun putting Moneypenny in danger and showcasing her considerable skill in getting out of it. Other than it's $5 price-tag, my only real complaint is that it's only a one-shot. I wouldn't mind more of Miss Moneypenny in the future. Worth a look. Read Full Review

    Giving a much loved supporting character the depth and respect that she deserves, Moneypenny is brought into the 21st century in style. Read Full Review

    Comic Crusaders - Johnny "The Machine" Hughes Aug 30, 2017

    This book in many ways is a contradiction; for fans of the James Bond books, this will be a welcome addition, fleshing out one of the key components to the Bond mythos. For new readers, there is really nothing in here that would make you want transition over to the main series. This is a shame as there is an element of quality on show throughout the book.

    If this one-shot is to test the waters, then I hope that they'll do another test with a different writer. Keep the artist, but try someone else. When a story states that the assignment will be dull at times and that ends up being the best description for the comic, then you have a problem with your comic. If you want to hear, me rant about this more check out the Comic Bastards Podcast this week. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Hildebrand Aug 29, 2017

    Unless you are a James Bond fanatic and feel the need to pick up everything Bond, I cannot recommend this book. I was hoping for a gripping and action-packed Moneypenny story and instead, I got a Moneypenny short with a lot of filler. It is a one shot that completely misses the bulls eye. Read Full Review
