I just couldn't finish it.It seemed a bit confusingThe facial artwork for bond varied from artist to artist, and at times it seemed like it was a different character.I made it through one or two stories and just couldn't finish it. It was becoming a chore.

Interesting concept for this graphic novel. I enjoyed seeing some different sides of Bond.

This anthology turned out to be absolutely disappointing. The framing device is adequate and is more than I expected from Misses Ayala and Lore after their amateurly written series but there's no meat in this volume. Benjamin Percy (Black Box) contributes a one-note joke of a story. Zero plot to speak of and lots of panning with unremarkable action artwork. The agenda starts to creep in early with an all female CIA team which is risible. Greg Pak's story is a continuation of his Oddjob series (d...

I just saw "No Time to Die," and needed another hit of Bond when I picked this up. It's not bad, but the art is disappointing in several places. Bond often appears a bit plain and thuggish, and Bond should always be smooth and suave, even when he's been blown up, burned, and punched in the face a few times. One of the stories features bond as a protective uncle. I felt that really didn't work. Bond might be the kind of guy who pulls a kid out of a burning orphanage, tips his shoe shine boy gener...

A series of shorter stories written and illustrated by different teams: The Broker (Ayala, Lore, Perez, Diaz) The Rare Dinner (Percy, Baal, Woods), The Oddest Job (Pak, Kotz, Diaz), One Pistol, Three Silencers (Simone, Marron, Kelly), Men Without a Country (Russell, Carey, Kurichiyamil), and The Hook (Diggle, Casalanguida, Woods). Each of these stories are about Bond and told by Moneypenny to her captors while under the influence of truth serum as Bond races to reunite with her. Great use of art...

This volume is part of the Dynamite Original stories about James Bond, and it has a pretty uninteresting premise: Moneypenny is kidnapped by men who want information about Bond. These bad men give her truth serum and so all the six short stories in the volume are told by Moneypenny to her captors. Maybe the effort to link the stories within the story is a better idea than just a simple story collection, but the stories are told by Moneypenny, and there doesn’t seem to be anything distinctively M...

Dynamite brings in some big comic book writers for these James Bond one-shots tied together by a framing sequence by Vita Ayala and Danny Lore. Andy Diggle, Greg Pak, Gail Simone, Mark Russell, and Benjamin Percy all write stories. None of the stories really aspire to greatness though. I like how some of them reference previous James Bond Dynamite comics. The art in this is so-so.

I wasn't looking to read this particular graphic novel, but the slightly "vintage" art style of the cover caught my eye.Well, I should say that once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Yup, really.There's a central thrilling plot (that I won't explain) that serves to recount a few "life episodes" of Bond, each one equally fast paced and fascinating.I really enjoyed the different artistic styles, very well suited for each "episode".I highly recommend this book.

Six new adventures for 007 have only a somewhat tenuous link in the shape of Eve Moneypenny being kidnapped.The first story, The Broker, is extremely weak & silly. In fact it's more like a poorly written spy spoof than a serious story. Thankfully the other five stories are far better, with James Bond on a variety of tough & violent assignments at home & abroard.It's fast paced storytelling with plenty of decent artwork, & while the release of No Time To Die at the cinema is delayed once again it...

This was an interesting compilation of stories told around a central vantage point. Miss Moneypenny is abducted, drugged and interrogated regarding her knowledge of all things Bond, James Bond. Throughout her ordeal she relates tales dealing with different aspects of 007's character that are authored by Vita Ayala & Dann Lore, Benjamin Percy, Greg Pak, Gail Simone, Mark Russell and Andy Diggle. The artistic chores are handled by Jordi Perez, Kewber Baal, Dean Kotz, Eoin Marron, Robert Carey and

A fine outing from the James Bond series. This one was a series of disconnected stories and therefore you got some good with the bad. I liked it just fine, but what was the problem with how they started out?They used to give 5-6 issue storylines that were ornate and tied up well, like the Bond films themselves. These vignettes, good or bad, just don't have the same feeling because we don't live in them long enough to get invested in the stories. I miss Black Box, Vargr and the others.Give me som...

Moneypenny's being held captive by a villain who requires...James Bond short stories. It's an oddly contrived narrative setup. Why not just have a volume of Bond shorts without the framing device? The stories in Reflections of Death aren't really tied together in any way. On their own, they're often quite good. James Bond in a Russian prison had a neat twist. James Bond taking Felix Leiter's daughter to prom was quite cute. The others weren't all that memorable, I guess, but they also weren't ba...

Similar to the previous collection, The Body, in that it is a series of short stories all featuring Bond, which are being told by Moneypenny to her captors, after she was kidnapped. Unfortunately, these aren't particularly good stories (a couple aren't bad, but on the whole, they're pretty pedestrian), and there isn't a nice running theme connecting them like in The Body. Still, if you're a James Bond fan, there are worse ways to spend your time...

This title was meant to be released around the release of the Craig movie "No Time to Die" before the movie due to some pandemic got delayed in its release and so this graphic novel got delayed as well. So now the movie got delayed again and retitled You move only twice (a joke for 007 fans) but we still got the release of this title.The bad news is that it reminded me of why I quit reading the Dynamite 007 comics because they just bored the pants off me. And this book is also not a very good st...

It’s not bad, but it’s definitely not James Bond. The art was cool, there was some enjoyable vignettes... but as a guy who not only read all of the Fleming novels (and some of the Gardner and Benson novels) as well as having seen every Bond film many times... I have to say that this character simply wasn’t recognizable as any incarnation of 007.Again, still some decent storytelling... just not really what I paid for.

Half the book is wasted on JB chaperoning Felix's daughter ?!? and her hideously drawn boyfriend for an evening rather than doing his job to protect the secrets of Queen and country. The rest is taken up with weird short stories and a framing piece that makes less sense the more you think about it.

A slim and varied collection with an interesting premise. The central story has Moneypenny kidnapped and 007 must rescue her. Interwoven are 5 stories featuring Bond, each written and drawn by a different team. This unfortunately leads to varied artwork and writing that never feels like a coherent collection. Interesting idea, but ultimately unsatisfactory. One for completists and 007 fans.

I really enjoyed this one it was tying some of the other books together which was nice. I am sad that i didnt read the others first but this one was due back at the library! Fun read for James bond fans it is a good one about Money Penny and it incorporates a bunch of different stories and a really good one with Felix. Definitely would recommend!

The Dynamite James Bond have been consistently excellent from the get-go, and this one is no exception.
