I wanted to talk about James Bond, because we went to see Casino Royale last night, but I'm proving to have a big writer's block about it and I'm not sure what to say. I enjoyed it, big thumbs up, but in last act the plot becomes decidedly predictable and many of the plot twists were telegraphed. The opening and the first half in general is where the best stuff lies, with Daniel Craig's James Bond as a government thug trying to construct a suitably flexible persona to compartmentalize his own brutish tendencies.
Maybe more later, but for now, here's a Doom Patrol cover by Jamie Hewlett:
The Brotherhood of Dada, mark 2. The fifth volume of Doom Patrol reprints is scheduled for January 3 and I'm eager with anticipation.

I enjoyed it actually - particularly in that with Craig, they moved away from the gadgets (except for the car) and it was more about the man and his muscles...
