James Bond: The Body #6

The concluding chapter of James Bond: The Body arrives with a cover that says everything without showing a single gunfight — Bond himself, rendered in tuxedo and cool composure, is reflected within the polished surface of a large bullet casing, surrounded by others like a loaded chamber waiting to speak. It's a quietly striking image from Luca Casalanguida, distilling the whole series' tension between the man and the instrument of violence he represents. Writer Aleš Kot brings his arc to a close with this sixth issue, subtitled "The Burial," and Dynamite's 2018 run earns a strong finish.
