James Bond #1

Dynamite's 2019 relaunch of Ian Fleming's James Bond arrives in style with this first issue, featuring a Jim Cheung cover that assembles the full ensemble: a sharply suited Bond stands front and center, flanked by a poised woman in a striped skirt holding a gun, a menacing bald figure looming large in the background, and a second man whose expression suggests he's not entirely on Bond's side. A sleek Aston Martin bearing the 007 plates races toward the viewer below, while explosive chaos erupts in the lower left — all the hallmarks of a globe-trotting espionage thriller firmly in place. With a creative team headlined by writers Vita Ayala and Danny Lore alongside artist Eric Gapstur, this fresh chapter in Bond's comics history feels both contemporary and true to Fleming's spirit.
