Published: Oct. 7, 2020, 11 a.m.

Hello dear listeners!\nIt wasn't that long ago that Mathieu and Edgar took a look at the first graphic novel adaptation of Fleming's work, Casino Royale, published by Dynamite Comics. Well, since there are only 2 adaptations to speak of at the moment, the boys figured they'd complete the duology before heading back to stories about the modern 007 in comics for future reviews.\nLive and Let Die sees writer Van Jensen return to adapt the script, although this time Fleming's prose is brought to visual life by Kewber Baal. Just as the first graphic novel produced unparalleled intellectual criticism, so too does the sequel. Among the bountiful number of topics broached are comparisons between the two graphic novel styles, too much ready read and not enough looky look, not enough grey colour on a black man (we explain this, trust us), shorts skirts in January in New York, Mathieu and Edgar possibly working on the next adaptation, \xa03 cheers for Fay Dunaway - uh, we mean Fay Dalton, and Casper Van Dien.\nOh, and the return of James Bond Jr.\xa0\nAre you excited yet?!?\nSo sit back, relax, crack open your copies of the Live and Let Die graphic novel and tag along for another thrilling instalment of The James Bond Complex!
