Comic Continuity
The third James Bond mini series issued by Dark Horse sees
continued care and quality for Bond in this age old format.
A very different Bond is seen in this story arc compared
to the earlier "A Silent Armageddon."
M makes a welcome return to discuss the plot happenings
with an injured Commander Bond, and 007 makes a brief reference
to his friend Terri Li from "A Silent Armageddon".
Serena's father was Ian Mountjoy, a old friend of Bond's
before he died during an Antarctic expedition. Barclay's
henchman - Bullock - has metal armour plating embedded under
his skin
Trivia
Simon Jowett continues to develop his evil syndicate, Cerberus,
after the cancellation of the final two parts of his story
"A Silent Armageddon". This two part story picks
up after their defeat and pits a new Bond against another
group of Cerberus. This issue marks the end for Cerberus
within the Dark Horse world of 007.
Best Line
Bullock: "Brains on top 'a beauty. Who'd'a thought
I had both?"
