Customer Reviews

Best Elekta since Frank Miller!
This is no idle boast Elektra fans. When Marvel wanted someone to resurrect Elektra, Brian Bendis was the guy they chose. After initially turning down their offer on the grounds that he couldn't fill Frank's shoes, he decided to accept and gave us this cracking story.
Elektra is hired by Nick Fury (of S.H.I.E.L.D) to go to Iraq and steal a powerful artifact from an obvious Saddam Hussain Dictator and does so in explosive fashion. The dialogue in this story really kicks some and has Bendis stamped all over it! Special mention must go out to Chuck Austen who does the artwork, as his style is quite unlike any other i've seen and gives the story an eerie quality. A must buy for any Elektra fan (or Bendis fan:). Also check out his monthly work on Marvel's Daredevil.

Amazing art, fantastic story.
Elektra remains one of the more interesting comic book figures - she's a little more complex than most, and very conflicted. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys great graphic art, as it has a range of styles within it.
