“It’s a grittier, more cold-hearted Bond, closer in spirit to the novels than the hi-jinks of the cinema, but Yaroslav Horak’s stylishly scratchy art melds glamour with action for a refreshingly unconventional take on a familiar icon.” – SFX Magazine

“A fast, tough read.” – Empire

“historical curio and rattling good yarn, it offers entertainment to spare.” – Movie Insider

“writer and artist not only pull off with consummate ease the difficult trick of keeping the story in the air in a daily series of two- and three- panel strips, but also maintain tension and action, and supply plenty of shocks, glamorous locations, and, of course, beautiful women.” – Paul McAuley
