For a while, I have been saying how Dynamite have given Bond a mature world in which to exist. It is great to see that this ideal continues in a book that I may not have asked for, but now, thanks to its near perfect execution, I am now eagerly looking forward too. Read Full Review

It's just strong from the first page and simply gets even more engaging as it progresses and we get the cast, the action sequences, and the drama. Definitely a series I can't wait to see more of this fall. Read Full Review

James Bond origin #1 has some pacing flaws, but mostly hits the mark when it comes to its characters. Jeff Parker has created a young, sloppy Bond, but still makes the character recognizable. It feels like this series will only get better, and I look forward to seeing more. Read Full Review

Packed with great character moments and gorgeously rendered James Bond: Origin #1 is another successful mission for Dynamite and their handling of the IP. Read Full Review

Let's be honest James Bond: Origin #1 pays respect to the icon himself while making a story that seems rather right for the characters involved. We have a really good start that sets a more than sturdy tone for what should be a rather solid mini-series. Read Full Review
