Written by Garth Ennis | Art by Russell Braun | Published by Aftershock Comics
Garth Ennis doing a mature spoof of the James Bond character makes a lot of sense. His sense of humor lends itself to that type of idea, and the more Garth Ennis comics we get the better the world of comics. Jimmy’s Bastards has a humorous premise that sums up exactly what this book is like. For a first issue, there is a lot of fun to be had, but there is no question that some of the humor just did not land in the way it was intended.
Anyone who has read an Ennis comic in the past knows he is not known for his subtlety. It is well executed sophomoric humor with a mature tone. Here he is writing what is clearly a Roger Moore era type of James Bond character. Although he looks much more like Geroge Lazenby.

We hold in our hands the covers for DC Comics this March. As a child of four can plainly see, these comics have been hermetically sealed in a Cgc 9.8 slab, and they’ve been kept in a #2 mayonnaise jar under a giant pile of Christmas tinsel since noon today.
What do we have worth noting? The first fill-in artist on Justice League, although Gene Ha is certainly no slouch in that department. We also have new writers on Firestorm and Green Arrow, new backups in Justice League and Action Comics, and the DC 52 hits lucky number 7.
Shall we see who is the fariest of them all? Oh indeedy, let’s do!
As usual, spoilers may lurk beyond this point.
