EIDOLON, CHAPTER 6: The explosive conclusion to the second JAMES BOND 007 story - Eidolon are in the open, British Intelligence is cracked and in disarray, friends are dead and enemies seem unstoppable - can James Bond intercept the most direct strike of all, from the dead hand of SPECTRE to the heart of British government?
The second storyline for the first ongoing Bond series is my favorite of the two as the first one just felt a bit off with what it was trying to do. There were things seeded into it that came into play here, which is how Ellis operates and it works well, but I still find that for a lot of people Bond is a hard character to bring to life outside of film. With so many fans of the films unable to connect with the original novels and lots of those that came later it's just how people seem to be wired for the property, myself included at times. There's a lot to like here overall and I'm hopeful for the approach of regular miniseries from a range of creators going forward as Dynamite has the potential for some good books that will reach a new audience in bookstores as well. This is a solid series overall with a very good ending installment. Read Full Review
