Finally! At last! Elektra is back. I've been waiting for this for a very long time. I don't get to talk about it much, but I have everything that's ever had Elektra in it. All the way back to the early issues of Daredevil. I love this character. There's a few duds in there . . they weren't quite up to the standards of this characters remarkable potential, but overall . . there's been some amazing stuff done with her and her adventures. When this whole thing first happened with the Skrull invasion, I knew that she'd be back eventually . . I just had to be patient. Well . . it's been almost 2 years now . . ever since the end of New Avengers #31 where, after fighting the Hand the dead body of Elektra is revealed to be a Skrull. And now . . now she's back. Kind of. This story picks up right after the end of the battle in Central Park. The rest of the fugitives are getting off of the Skrull ship and Elektra is among them. She's in terrible shape. For some reason the rest of the fugitives were taken so that they could be replaced, but with Elektra . . Elektra was prodded and poked and experimented on. But we don't know why yet. She tries to make a break for it, but . . she's easily subdued. She's then taken to SHIELD for sanctuary and help with recovery. However . . shortly after SHIELD falls to Norman Osborne. When he finds out that they've inherited Elektra, he
decides he wants to find out why the Skrulls were so interested in her. So she's been aboard the helicarrier now for about 4 months. For the last 3 months Norman has had his ace interrogator taking a crack at her. "I need to know why the Skrulls experimented on her." When asked how long she has, Norman replies . . "As long as the trauma of interrogation does not exceed her capacity to withstand it, I'd suppose. Carry on." But you knew eventually she'd find a way to get out. Paladin poses as a HAMMER agent and makes his way into the lab where she's being held. Of course then he has to gloat over what he's doing and why he's doing it. He punches Elektra in the mouth and knocks a tooth loose. When he gets close enough she shoots it down his throat and chokes him. She kills Paladin and then swipes a piece of her interrogators red shirt. She has to put a bandanna on her head before she goes out to face the rest of the HAMMER agents. This series is just starting, but . . it should be a heck of a ride. Zeb Wells writes it with Clay Mann doing the art. He also does the cover on the right. Lee Bermejo does the cover on the left. It's fantastic looking. Really, my only complaint is that this is only a 5 issue series. I hope she ends up someplace after that . . or maybe in her own series again. I can't wait to see how this one plays out.
