Free Comic Book Day 2018: James Bond 007-VARGR is another comic book I got for free for the 2018 Free Comic Book Day, the first from Dynamite Entertainment, and my first James Bond comic. This is the first issue of an already finished storyline in which Bond investigates the death of 008 and continues the mission he was involved in when he was killed dealing with drug smugglers all over Europe. The opening in which Bond fights and kills the man who murdered 008 sets the tone with its dark lighting, moody atmosphere, and very bloody ending that would fit perfectly as a pre-tittle sequence of a Bond film. While the rest of the comic fits the first few minutes after the title sequence wherein Bond flirts with Moneypenny, is given his new assignment by M, meets with Q, and then showing the villains of the story learning about Bond and sending an assassin after him. From what I read so far this would make for a really good film adaptation as it perfectly captures every moment that the films do. The artwork is really good, the story so far is told well, and the characterization of the characters we already know is spot on. Plus, unlike the films which have certain restrictions on what they can show due to ratings, the comic isn't afraid to show how violent Bond can be. Over all: 100%
