A solid volume 2, developing Bond and Lee's story and putting a new twist on Goldfinger. Some impressive art work lifts it.

I don't understand why this was made. It lacks any of the campiness that makes bond fun (quips, silly gadgets, hyper competence) and doesn't make any attempts to develop Bond as a character to make him compelling beyond that.

The Odd Job epic begins when Bond crosses paths with a Korean agent after the same mysterious case he is after to stop a deadly terrorist organization. This is the first part of a continuing series that takes the characters and concepts of Ian Fleming's James Bond and updates them for a new era. This mysterious Korean seems like a younger version of the old villain but is he working for the good guys or the bad guys and will he distract Bond from his mission, help him, or is he working against him. Great surprises for the reader as alliances are revealed and the true villain of the story reveals themselves. The art supports the action and the plot is a clever mix of the old and the new that I really enjoyed as a longtime Bond fan in all media.

Greg Pak's take on Goldfinger continues with more focus on the relationships between Moneypenny, M, and Bond as Bond infiltrates Goldfinger's organization, one that has turned loyal agents before, and goes dark. Bond teams up with Mr. Lee and Agent K to try and determine why Goldfinger is going after diamonds, and how his plans involve the Olympitech Paradise, an autonomous free zone island off the coast of California. Great action and art that brings it and the characters and locations to life. Reprints issues #7-12. I would rate this volume 3.5 stars if Goodreads allowed half stars.

Give me back Warren Ellis and Ales Kot on Bond comics, Dynamite, I'm begging you.
