yes, it's another one of those "you're a female comic book character, you have to deal with being a MoNsTeR" but i guess they way they concluded it wasn't terrible. art was certainly weird in a couple issues though. seriously, why did they go with actual photos of people for a whole issue. idk

I like the writing, but the art is extremely inconsistent, and sometimes ill-suited to the story.

Greg Rucka is a great writer. After devouring the Lazarus series, I wanted more of the good thing. I always liked Elektra and thought Ruckaw ould make her arc shine.

It didn't.

The collection is uneven, and in places poorly written. The art by Carlos Meglia destroyed one of the more interesting arcs in the collection. I didn't know I had artists to avoid at all costs but I do now.

It shows Elektra for who she is, a feral lunatic addicted to violence and killing. It gives her a redemption arc of sorts but takes too many shortcuts along the way.
