James Bond 007 #8

A suited figure lounges with cool authority atop a gleaming mountain of gold bullion, framed by an imposing crimson "G" that dominates the background — Dave Johnson's cover composition says everything about power, wealth, and menace without uttering a word. Greg Pak and Eric Gapstur bring Ian Fleming's world-famous spy to Dynamite's pages in this eighth installment, and the visual promise here is hard to resist. If the series has been building toward a confrontation with someone who sits quite literally on a throne of gold, this 2019 issue makes clear that 007's next adversary is playing for very high stakes indeed.
