Reviews

[John Yelverton · Rating 1 out of 5]

This was just plain bad. The artwork was pornographic in parts, and the stories were so awful that "Captain Marvel" comics from the 1950's took their subject matter more seriously.

[Matthew Fleming · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not the strongest of these collections to bow out on, but it has its moments, and some of the illustrations are pretty striking. Just like the previous volume, though, the nudity just doesn't work and makes the sexism even more obvious.

[Michael P. · Rating 3 out of 5]

Most of the stories in this collection are weak in both the writing and the art, but the book closes strong.

Está muy divertido, es para esos ratos en los que no quieres pensar y sólo quieres acción. Aunque después de un rato las aventuras se vuelven un poco parecidas. Los malos son geniales, las formas de molestar a Bond son divertidísimas, te sueltas de risa, pues. Hay uno que es como un gato jajaja. En fin, lo que aburre un poco es que siempre tiene que seducir a alguien y siempre cae y siempre se las tira y es aburrido de repente. Pero está bien, recomiendo esta serie de cómics, porque por cierto, este es el #15. Esta reseña está mucho mejor: http://www.bloggernews.net/120093
