Thoughts:
I was excited from the first time I head the plans to make a standalone Felix Leiter story. With all the trepidations and pre-judgements that came with the announcement, only one thought, and one thought only, was on my mind – about damn time!
James Bond: Felix Leiter by James Robinson (art by Aaron Campbell) is an excellent, fast-paced opening installment to the series. With a wink and a nod towards Felix’s relationship with 007, the writer and artist created a solid launching pad for this comic.
The story was exciting and fast-paced, which is a feat by itself since the book had to establish the character of Leiter as well as his surrounding universe. This is why I’m glad I read the graphic novel, the first issue is a bit slow but things start to pick up quickly in the second.
But who am I kidding, I would have read the whole series regardless.
I especially enjoyed the fact that it seems as if the creators of this graphic novel are either Bond fans and/or did their research really well. They threw in a few bones for us fans, as well as built on previous Bond comics and universe while introducing new and exciting characters.
Bonus points for using Tiger Tanaka.
Synopsis:
CIA agent Felix Leiter is in Japan, being called in by his friend Tiger Tanaka, head of the service. Felix’s job is to track down a Russian spy he has known in the past. The spy, being of course a beautiful woman, is dangerous and mysterious as Felix knows all too well.
