James Bond: Hammerhead Review

James Bond: Hammerhead. Andy Diggle and Luca Casalanguida. 2017. Dynamite. 120 pages.

Rating: 4/5

Disclaimer: I received a free ecopy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

You pretty much know what you are going to get when James Bond is involved. This book hits on all the classic elements of the series with at least one minor twist.

This book is surprisingly friendly to new readers. Not being too familiar with the franchise (I've only seen a couple Bond films myself), I was able to keep track of the different characters and what was happening in the plot. Speaking of plot, this one involves a weapons manufacturer that is being targeted by a terrorist organization, so there is violence. I think the creators do a nice job of keeping most of it off screen.

And the art is good. I particularly like the character details, but the landscapes are nice also. I can't say anything wowed me about the art. It is quality work though. Hammerhead provides an action packed story that is an excellent portrayal of James Bond.
