I'm really enjoying the story here. Plus . . we get Bullseye stepping up to the plate this issue. Basically, this whole thing . . the $82 million bounty on Elektra's head, comes down to her attack on the helicarrier, in Arkansas, that crashed. It killed hundreds of SHIELD agents, and wounded even more. So, apparently, this bounty is coming from somewhere within some secret SHIELD funds. Norman didn't even know about them, and Ms Hand is only just finding out now, after doing some heavy digging. Plus the question is raised, was it actually Elektra or her Skrull doppelganger? The time-line for her abduction has never really been verified, so . . they don't really know. Anyways, most of the story is spent on the interaction between Elektra and Bullseye. She had a couple of assassins on her ass last issue, but Bullseye already took one of them out. He wants Elektra all to himself. She ends up saving one of her attackers lives, when Bullseye just wants to kill them out of boredom. And, she ends up putting one of Bullseye/Hawkeye's arrows through his chest. But now she has a platoon of HAMMER agents on her, and . . at the very last second, Wolverine jumps into the fray. I think Zeb Wells is doing a really decent job with this story here. He seems to have a pretty good handle on these characters. And, Clay Mann's pencils are actually . . ok. They're not necessarily the style that I would expect for this book, but . . they do fit the story pretty well. I'm just glad that Elektra's back . . the real Elektra, and that hopefully she'll be getting her own book back again. Soon. Please! Anyways, I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait to see how it all plays itself out. Oh yeah, by the way . . my suggestion for the acronym this month is . . Heavy Armaments Make Much Easier Relationships.
