As Bond undergoes a post-mission medical examination, he relays the story of his previous mission to the examiner. Each cut, bruise, and broken bone connected to a specific event of the mission. A connection is made between two people with different purposes: one to save lives, the other to take them. From writer Ales Kot (Secret Avengers, Zero) comes a James Bond story that explores the secret agent in ways that we have yet to experience!
Kot and Casalanguida have hit the ground running with this debut issue that plays out like a shot-for-shot action sequence from one of the super spy's many movies. Read Full Review

Overall. This was a pretty solid first issue, which has enough story to keep me involved for issue 2, which I should imagine will be out next month. There's no doubt about it. Bond is back! Read Full Review

With James Bond - The Body #1, writer Ales Kot and Luca Casalanguida take that depiction of 007 and place it within a surprisingly introspective and rich examination of Bond, utilizing a truly ingenious and compelling framework for the narrative. The result is one of the most unusual and surprisingly effective 007 stories Dynamite's done yet. Read Full Review

It's a fun read but it's also a fantastic visual trip as Luca Casalanguida continues to reinforce why I look forward to everything Bond related he does as it sets a high bar for other artists. Definitely recommended. Read Full Review
I love the concept and want to see what comes next. There's a simplicity about it that's utterly brilliant and Kot and Casalanguida combine for a story that has you wondering how this hasn't happened earlier. A solid story that can be picked up as a one-shot and I think something greater, it's completely entertaining and a definite buy. Read Full Review
