James Bond: Case Files collects four standalone specials, none of which are very good or special!
Kieron Gillen and Antonio Fuso’s Service is a boring story about some baddies trying to break up the UK/US’s “special relationship” - guess whether Bond saves the day or not?
Jody Houser/Jacob Edgar’s Moneypenny is about how Moneypenny isn’t just some secretary - she can kick some butt too…! And she does. By foiling some no-name idiots in a contrived and dull storyline. Snore. Yeah, definitely needed to see that.
Ibrahim Moustafa writes and draws Solstice which was the only comic here that wasn’t straight up bad. Moustafa actually writes the dialogue fairly well - it reads convincingly and there’s some flair and style to it. Other that though it’s another forgettable Bond story as 007 helps out M on Christmas by shooting some villain in Paris.
Declan Shalvey/PJ Holden’s M closes out the disappointing book with a bland and unnecessary story of M’s past in Northern Ireland during the troubles in Belfast. Holden’s art is pretty good I guess.
And that’s James Bond: Case Files - a collection of crappy Bond stories I wouldn’t recommend to anyone!
