Warren Ellis is still one of the most underrated writers in comics history, but his take on Ian Fleming's brutal, sexually-charged Secret Agent is an unparalleled masterwork. 007's nasty roots come to the 21st Century with Ellis's razor-sharp characterization, plotting, and technological bleeding-edge literacy, creating the most faithfully-adapted, yet ingeniously improved take on James Bond in decades. Rivaling the Daniel Craig Film Era for greatness, inventiveness, and style, Ellis's "Eidolon" is among the very best of Bond; the distilled 007, with all it's original ugliness and thrill injected into a stark, modern adventure that puts its contemporaries to shame. Essentially Book 2 or 2 in his critically-acclaimed run on the character, be sure to pick up "VARGR" to complete the story.
