James Bond: Felix Leiter (Ian Fleming's James Bond 007: Felix Leiter)

Felix has been the forgotten and under-used sidekick to Bond and was nice to see some story lines for him and action...well done and good drawings.

I've been pleasantly surprised with the JB comic series. The writing and the artwork have both been good, and the stories look and feel like a comic adaption of a JB movie. If you are a JB fan, I'd recommend giving this series a try.

Now in this graphic novel, you see James bond's CIA alter ego in action. Wish theire were more of him in novels.

I"m a james Bond fan among things as well, this item was intresting because it cover one of bond's fellow agents, who works for the CIA instead

Nice take on the Bond universe- centered on JB's best friend Felix Leiter and Tiger Tanaka of the Japanese Secret Service. Looking forward to more in the series.

This is wonderful for any Bond/ Felix fan. Feels true to the character and does the story justice.

Excellent.

“James Bond – Felix Leiter” collects the six-issue mini-series of the same name, which hopefully becomes a maxi-series or even an ongoing one, as it certainly deserves it. This is an excellently scripted and illustrated story, and the art is definitely superior to the latest Bond volume, “Black Box”.The writer, James Robinson, who is, I think, is British, does an excellent job of establishing Felix Leiter’s character in the relaunched Bond comic-book world. And as an aside, the main Bond title has been given to an American writer, who also has managed to keep Bond Bond. In the text pages at the back of the book, Robinson makes the observation that Ellis has based his opening volumes on the novels, rather than the film Bond, and that the original Fleming novels could be considered Earth Two, with the new series as Earth One; a good description for those of us old enough to appreciate it.Anyway, this Leiter is established as a former CIA/special forces operative, former Pinkerton detective, and now a freelance PI, all done in the odd flashback at the appropriate spot in the course of the story unfolding.Said story opens with the traditional pre-credit sequence, where we find Felix in Japan, hired by Tiger Tanaka (“Japan’s James Bond”) to identify a former Russian agent who Felix has worked with in his Company days – a veritable Black Widow, but not a comic-book one.A major terrorist attack occurs and soon Felix finds himself drafted in to help with the intelligence gathering – and he makes the point that he was always better at the backroom stuff than the action hero side of things – though that might be part of the (currently) run-down noirish detective persona that he is sporting, and which could be part of an intended long running character-development plot; this is the sort of writer who would be up to something like that.There are twists and turns, big and small action scenes, international intrigue, and, basically an out and out declaration of which international criminal organisation is poking its tentacles into the plot.The artwork is really superb, not to labour a point, and the character of Leiter deepens and develops as we go along, and there are flashback scenes involving James Bond, just to remind us who’s who, and who is his own character, going his own way, and not just an American Bond. Play to your strengths, as they say in cards.

Very good novel

Ótima história centrada no melhor amigo de Bond, e com a participação mais do que especial de Tigre Tanaka! Recomendado.

Derivado do James Bond, estória boa, espionagem raiz, com final que sugere um inimigo maior

Rapide

Great read.
