Elektra Natchios - The Woman Without Fear Appreciation 2022

[scouse mouse]

It was a decent issue but my biggest gripes with all the recent Elektra stories (outside of D:WWF) is that the writers don't make her the sole focus. Especially with a #100 and the BWB series, they are to celebrate the character and she's always second to whatever character is with her. I know Frank Miller is iffy nowadays but back when he was writing her, he always knew how to make her feel like the star, even when she might have been out of the scene. I know Ann Nocenti was a co-creator of Typhoid Mary but it felt more like a celebration of her than it was of Elektra...

Agreed. The more I think about it, the more this just wasn't good enough as a milestone celebration of her.

Coming around to the same conclusion. I think the historic lack of quality Elektra content makes it easy to go into stuff with blinders on, but this just wasn't up to par for what should be a milestone celebration.

I'm not sure what's happening, but Eastman's art looks good!

Elektra's getting another Funko, this time with her DD look. Already pre-ordered mine

Yeah I have no idea either but at least it looks good! And that Funko does look cool.

Leaked early preview for Elektra:B,W&B #4 via Bleeding Cool. It will be interesting if the Rosenberg story in the preview is in continuity as it would count as the first meeting (time line wise) between Elektra and that character.

Oh, that'll be an interesting match-up

And we've got a lettered preview for Savage Avengers

Was just about to post that link! Glad that the writer has remembered that Elektra and Flash know each other from their Thunderbolts days.

[tsaimelemoni]

Ha, great minds. I hope they get some good page time, it felt like they should have gotten along in Thunderbolts but didn't really interact much there

What did everyone think on the final issue of BWB? I enjoyed the first story the most, 2nd story Peach Momoko's art was stellar but had no idea what was going on. Same with the third story.
