A review by stevenk
James Bond: Case Files Vol 1 Hc by Ibrahim Moustafa, Jody Houser, Kieron Gillen

3.0

Four short stand alone Bond stories: Service (Gillen, Fuso), Moneypenny (Houser, Edgar) Solstice (Moustafa) and M (Shalvey Holden). M is a short story I've read before about a skeleton in M's closet that comes back from the past. Moneypenny in the Dynamite Bond Universe is a field agent that not only assists M but protects him from threats both internal and external on a trip to Boston. Service has Bond working to convince a skeptical US Secretary of State that the British spy services and humint is more valuable than he thinks on a trip to the UK. Solstice has Bond undertaking an off the books mission to Paris to eliminate a Russian spy. All of these stories have great action and developed the supporting characters as more action oriented than in the original Bond books or movies. The art does a good job of helping tell the stories and move the action along.
