James Bond, Volume 1: Vargr
James Bond, Volume 1: Vargr | Warren Ellis
6 posts | 10 read | 5 to read
After a mission of vengeance in Helsinki, James Bond returns to London and assumes the workload of a fallen 00 Section agent. His new mission takes him to Berlin, presumably to break up an agile drug-trafficking operation. But Bond has no idea of the forces ranged in secret against him, the full range of an operation that's much scarier and more lethal than he could possibly imagine. Berlin is about to catch fire... and James Bond is trapped inside. Dynamite Entertainment proudly presents VARGR, the debut storyline in the all-new James Bond comic book series, as crafted by masterful writer Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, The Authority) and artist Jason Masters (Batman Incorporated, Guardians of the Galaxy).

This was okay. The plot is fairly predictable, but I was glad it tried to break out of the standard Bond formula. The art is really beautiful in places, but oh so much gratuitous gore in other places. It was fun to read a Bond comic, something I haven't done before.

Solid, but a bit unspectacular. Still, Ellis is the king of brutal, rough-and-tumble action, and his Bond has a blunt meanness and bureaucratic mundanity largely lacking from the films. Could have used an extra issue to let the plot reveals feel a bit less rushed, but this is still a rock solid spy thriller.

I have waited a long time for a proper Warren Ellis Bond story, and the wait was so worth it. This is a perfect combination of Bond from the book mixed with a little of the movies. This is a brutal book with Bond as a bastard put to show the world Britain still matters.

"...so we learned to club people quietly in the dark first." Hello from my iPad! I took a little break to start off 2017, but I hope to be posting more. It's so great to see your books in a large format! My first book of 2017 was this comic by my main man Ellis. It's very stripped down, and it removes some of the problematic things about Bond and keeping the fun ones. A tight, chilly spy actioneer - worth checking out!

I'm still at my parent's house and have raided dad's James Bond books.

Meh. The artwork was great, given the type of story you expect for JB. But I could have done without the bits of sexism scattered through it. Yes, JB is sexist but the sexism in this was completely pointless and just felt thrown in just for the hell of it. The story itself was kinda boring.
