James Bond 007: Eidolon by Warren Ellis - Graphic Novel Review

Okay, its Bond, James Bond, 007, what elses do I need to say?

Eidolon was a terrific story of revenge and clandestine attempts to undermine MI5 and MI6.

The action was sudden and sometimes unexpected and the bad guy was brutal.  Oh, my!  This was a mean dude.

As graphic as the violence was it was never gratuitous but it was heart-thumpingly cold.

Warren Ellis did a very good job of pacing and keeping the politicians an important part of the story.

Jason Masters' art was clean and cinematic wich lent itself to the grit of the story.

I wouldn't let younger readers at this book, it's pretty brutal.  But if you're looking for a strong, gritty and scary story you can't go wrong with this one.
