James Bond: Agent of Spectre #1

Dynamite's 2021 series opener plants 007 squarely in dangerous territory — the cover by Steve Epting depicts a suited Bond standing over a bloodied, fallen figure, pistol in hand, with the U.S. Capitol dome looming in the misty background. The stark near-monochromatic palette, broken only by vivid crimson, gives the image a cinematic weight that feels at home alongside Ian Fleming's source material. If this first issue is any indication, Agent of Spectre is shaping up to be a tense, espionage-charged chapter in Bond's comics life.
