James Bond's New Adventure Puts Focus On Espionage & Spycraft
A new 007 series from Dynamite Comics has been announced, written by the critically acclaimed Phillip Kennedy Johnson, following James Bond in a tale of Russian espionage that brings Bond back to his spycraft roots. The new series "...takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the high-stakes world of intelligence and espionage, with a healthy dash of breakneck action," with a story inspired by Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels that made the superspy so famous.

James Bond's «Hollywood-ification» has made the spy into a bonafide action star, but his comics counterparts are able to achieve a more grounded version of the man of mystery, a truly talented espionage expert with a brilliant mind.
