James Bond 007 #2

/ / Comics

James Bond 007 #2 comic reviewAfter his encounter with the new Oddjob (an enemy agent named John Lee), Bond gets a brief history lesson from MI6 (which infers that this version of 007 never lived through the events of Goldfinger) before being sent back into the field to complete his mission to track down the Russian and retrieve the briefcase before it falls into the clutches of the terrorist of ORU (with strict orders not to get preoccupied with Lee again).

In Indonesia Bond runs into both the Russian and John Lee, who has his own orders to question the Russian. Once again neither man gets his hands on the Russian as the pair momentarily call a truce to take out the number of mindless soldiers courageous enough to be cannon fodder for them before the rivalry heats up once more.

X-Force #1

/ / Comics

X-Force #1 comic reviewAs has become Marvel Comics’ custom, X-Force is the latest team title where a new group of familiar faces (and a few new ones) is thrown together under the rebrand of a popular preexisting title. X-Force #1 opens with Domino, Cannonball, Shatterstar, Boom Boom, and Warpath on the trail of the mysterious Teen Cable. With the help of an anti-mutant terrorist group, the team is able to finally catch up to Cable when he rescues Deathlok and escapes a secret Transian facility filled with weapons that shouldn’t exist for at least another 2,000 years.

The issue does its job in introducing the core characters of the title while also setting the stage for the opening arc in which the mutants are framed by the local government of Transia for the death of its leader by the mutant-hating general who has turned the advanced weapons on the mutants given refuge in the country and the X-Force team.

Firefly #2

/ / Comics

Firefly #2 comic reviewThings are never boring, or simple, for the crew of Serenity. After crashing and taking a job of protecting a wagon train of folks to their holy site, things get more complicated by the arrival of Alliance soldiers looking for two war criminals: Mal and Zoe. With the offer of a massive reward for the pair, the local gang decides to try and take down the two Browncoats instead of the wagon train. Things don’t go as well as they hoped.

There’s quite a bit of action here including flashbacks to Serenity Valley and the current firefight between our heroes and the local thugs who turn out to have just enough courage to die in the middle of nowhere at the hands of the war criminals and Jayne.

The comic opens with Spidey Doc fighting Stilt Man of all people before resuming his day job as a teacher at Horizon University.

The first issue of The Superior Spider-Man #1 offers a short history of Doc Ock while also setting the groundwork for the new series and explaining how Otto ended up a new body living under the identity of Elliot Tolliver. Aside from taking on super-villains and teaching, the villain turned hero will also have to face his past mistakes when Anna Maria Marconi recognizes a familiar swagger underneath a new face.
