The cover to John Wick is really good. That I liked. The comic itself never really comes together. The cover though captures all of the neo-noir that the movie gives you. The comic itself. Not so much. I’m a John Wick fan, and I was looking forward to Dynamite getting this, but I was disappointed with the final result. I really didn’t want to write a bad review, like everybody else I thought the movies were amazing and saw no reason it wouldn’t be an amazing comic, my expectations were too high, I just couldn’t shake the overall feeling of meh.

Kill or Be Killed #14 wraps up the third story arc in tremendous fashion. Most of the issue wouldn’t necessarily seem that exciting as it mostly just goes through Dylan’s plan of destroying the Russian mafia, which is executed perfectly. But the combination of Ed Brubaker’s masterful script and Sean Phillips beautiful art continually prove with each new installment how great this story is.

DC’s New Talent Showcase is an idea that the president of DC Entertainment, Diane Nelson, came up with as a way of showing off some of the recent students from their Talent Development Workshops (which sounds fantastic). The shorts in this issue are from the 2016 class, as the 2017 one only just wrapped up.

James Bond: Solstice, Dynamite’s winter one-shot is out and does not disappoint. This story takes Bond out of his normal duties to do a favor for M. I was reminded of Ian Fleming’s short stories, with their low key plots and smaller stakes. From A View to a Kill comes to mind. Frequently in James Bond stories, the writer will try to throw everything that is James Bond at the story, often turning it into a paint-by-numbers affair. At least that’s how I felt about the last James Bond comic I read. This story gave us a distinctly Bond story without the cliche’. Everything is here but done in a creative and subtle way. I haven’t had a chance to read all the one-shots, but if they are all as good as this, I’ll have to correct that soon.
