Dynamite Entertainment's "Felix Leiter"

Published: May 20, 2020, 11 a.m.

Hello dear listeners!

\n

We want to talk to you about James Bond\u2019s best friend in the whole wide world: Felix Leiter. What a swell guy, eh? Oh, what\u2019s that now? Which version?

\n

Oh, no no, we\u2019re talking about the Jack Lord version.

\n

Nope, nor the Cec Linder one.

\n

Nor the Norman Burton one either.

\n

Okay, you can stop gues-.

\n

No, not Rick Van Nutter.

\n

It\u2019s alright, we\u2019ll just tel-

\n

Ugh, not the Jeffrey Wright version either.

\n

Alright, that\u2019s it, this week we\u2019re discussing Dynamite Entertainment\u2019s \u201cFelix Leither\u201d comic book that ran from early to mid 2017. Written by James Robinson and drawn by Aaron Campbell, this 6-issue story arc takes the former CIA agent on a solo mission to mission to Japan\u2026where he isn\u2019t working solo since he\u2019s actually partnered with Tiger Tanaka.

\n

Fear not, listeners. It isn\u2019t because 007 himself isn\u2019t around that there isn\u2019t anything to talk about. Have Dynamite Entertainment properly crafted the time line of their comics series? Is it better to have a romantic ending or a cynical one? What are the two things Felix and former flame Alena are good at (hint: one of them involves going undercover)? Can nobody ever really leave the CIA? Does Felix Leiter have Kermit the Frog eyes?

\n

So sit back, relax, and let hosts Mathieu and Edgar take you on a unique detour away from Bond to spend time with an old friend.

\n

No, it\u2019s not the David Hedison version\u2026
