Elektra Appreciation: Lady in Red

Looks good! Though I hope she comes with an alternate head because her skin shouldnt be showing when her face mask is up... Also hoping for a final outfit figure.

Agreed on both counts. I'm glad they're doing these, my nephew will love it. He likes Elektra, but prefers her Netflix look to her comic look (even though the show is a tad violent for his tastes, so he doesn't actually watch the show. Videogame, cartoon, and comic violence is a-ok, though).

It's why I'm glad they're changing her look in the comic too, though I hope they tweak it.

An Elektra statue. The face is a little off but it gives a nice look at the costume details. Wish they brought more of this look into her new comic look.

Those are cool!

The statue looks great. I'm going they move more toward that look in comic

That lettered preview looks good. I'm curious about the larger story line beyond Arcade. What, if any, through line is there going to be from arc to arc?

I enjoyed the first issue more than I thought I would. Looking forward to the next one.

Very different feel from her last series, but I think it will work.

Not sure how I feel about the new issue/series. I though the art was great, crisp and clean (although, I think the artist could draw the new costume a bit better). The overall vibe worked better in the previous series in my opinion, I wish more happened in this issue and we got more insight to Elektra. I also, HATED the intro on the credits page, why was it all about Daredevil and Elektra?

Part of the whole Running with the Devil. Though I agree, if things aren't started as a connected story, why does that have to be the intro? Anyway. Still thinking about how I feel about it. Well make a thread in a bit, so i don't have to use spoiler tags lol

The book is getting some good early reviews.

Nice! I feel like this run, by virtue of the whole Netflix thing, is being pushed more than the last run

I like her covers but it looks like they aren't ever finished. It looks it was colored by Adam Hughes in the late 90's/early 2000's where he only used flat colors.

Haha, I actually like the flat quality.

Here's the variant to issue 2. Sorry about the Alien watermark, found it on twitter
