Hello, dear listeners! We live in a time of terrible political unrest on a global scale. It’s an age of deception, where the enemy lies in the shadows, both real and imagined. East and West have renewed tensions, prompting state leaders to raise the tone of their impassioned speeches and threats. There is danger everywhere. It’s good to know you can still count on The James Bond Complex. We’re back to the comic book realm this week, with another in our series of reviews of the Dynamite Entertainment published stories. Coming off the unbelievable high of Hammerhead, writer Andy Diggle and artists Luca Casalanguida return with Kill Chain, a story inspired heavily by the current political climate affecting NATO and Russia for the past few years. As they are want to do, Mathieu and Edgar dive deeply into the plot machinations and highlight where their favourite writer-artist duo hit homeruns and where they may have stumbled. It should come as no surprise that 007 inspires so much content, and Kill Chain is no exception. There was absolutely no way they were getting through this week’s episode without regaling in topics such how delicious it is when the plots have sexiful vixens that get turned out at the thought of killing Bond, 007’s danger mode (!), casting Roger Moore in certain scenes for proper comedic effect, spies playing games of one-upmanship, missed opportunities to further develop story arcs, perfectly carved French art connoisseurs, and so much more. So enjoy this week’s episode and discover how politics can influence modern Bond stories. And always remember: when necessary fight dirty.

"Kill Chain" by Andy Diggle and Luca Casalanguida

Hello, dear listeners!  One of the driving philosophies that Mathieu and Edgar hung onto when birthing The James Bond Complex was to “make podcasting great again.” We wanted 007 podcasting to be a force to be reckoned with, a leader in quality debating. That powerful inspiration came from none other than the bold Victoria Hunt, CEO in waiting of Hunt Engineering from “Hammerhead.”* Yes, after a prolonged absence the show returns to the Dynamite Entertainment comics. A new writer-artist team is on board (Andy Diggle and Luca Casalanguida) and we cannot wait to see how they deliver the goods. So many questions abound. Will they go out all guns blazing or will the fuse fizzle? Does one have to read between the tea leaves to understand the fall of the British empire or just blame the Charlie Browns of the world? How soon is too soon to plug a grieving woman after she’s lost her father?  Release the KRAKEN!!!!  *Any similarities between what appears in this synopsis or the actual episode and real world personalities and events are purely coincidental and not the responsibility of The James Bond Podcast or its affiliates. No egos were bruised during this recording. The hosts may in fact be winking and having a laugh behind the mic…but they’ll never tell.
