Not bad, not bad at all... straight-ahead plot and declarative Vertigo-style comic book art go hand in hand, and are consistent with the no-nonsense Bond tradition. Nice color work. Establishes a little of Bond's psychological underpinnings.

I'm a big fan of Charlie Higson so this was a great deal of fun. Interesting take and direction.

I will read anything Charlie Higson has breathed on.
Totally not weird at all.

I really enjoyed this! I’m not a big Bond fan, but I really thought this was great. There were loads of intriguing plot points about this! Interesting back story for Bond and a whole load of brilliant illustrations. I’d love more from this series - I think this will be super popular in my class!

I really liked the story, but if I hadn't have read the original book beforehand, I think I'd have found it really hard to follow. The pictures were really good

I really enjoyed the novel and thought I'd take a look at the graphic novel to booktalk to students as an alternative. This GN does a very poor job of condensing the book into a smaller format. There's no character building, scenes rapidly change, and while the art is decent the dialogue is really lacking. I'd highly recommend reading the actual book over this graphic novel.
