Elektra Appreciation: Lady in Red

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Elektra engages in a good old fashioned grudge match against the man who killed her: Bullseye!


This match ends in someone's sudden death.

Alot of the stuff Marvel's pushing isn't selling very well. They need to right the ship and get things back to normal before they lose the people who have supported them for decades...

Too late in my case. They lost me when they canceled the FF. Nor was that a spur of the moment move on my part. The FF fiasco was just the final straw. I did sign up for Marvel Unlimited last year, but by 2011 my Marvel intake had dropped to such a trickle over the years that catching up seems so damn far down the road.

Has anyone picked up DD #605? Elektra is in it and she's not wearing the crappy Netflix costume! In fact it looks like she is now wearing one similar to her Strike Force look, minus the head scarf! Fingers crossed this look sticks and we never see her all in black again!

I'd prefer she get the headscarf back. I didn't like the way Soule wrote her, but it's a brief cameo either way.

Yeah the head scarf and asymmetric top are her iconic looks so having both back would be preferable. Soule actually says she's one of his favourite characters to write, but your also right that he doesn't always get her.

Apparently the cover of the second MK issue. Looks like their going back to her traditional, if slightly more armored/tactical...

In other news, allow me to regale you all with my nerdery... I recently got an electric vehicle, so of course it's named Electr-a. Isn't that funny? Haha (please send help)

Hoping she has a big role in this mini. Great cover and I love the return of the old look.

Same, with her being one of the few named players so far, I've got my fingers crossed.

I didn't hate their attempt to adapt her DD S2 look, but seeing her back in her classic look is really nice

I'm more than happy she is going back to her classic, iconic look.

And if they are doing some tweaks, as it appears, this is the way to do it. Keep everything about the classic that makes it iconic, and simply build upon it.
