Elektra: Always Bet On Red by Matt Owens, Elizabeth Torque, Juan Cabal, Alec Morgan
3.0
Let me start with: Elektra's new suit fucking rocks! WAY overdue giving this badass ninja assassin some pants.
This story will seem formulaic to readers of 80s X-Men books, and it doesn't feel much like a classic Elektra story, either, so old-school Elektra fans may feel left out. But it is a solid to return-to-feel, and much needed in the revitalization of this character. Good side characters, and fun, action-oriented artwork - my only complaint is the one issue where there's an artist switch-up, and I'm hoping that simply couldn't be helped. Nice evocation of her history, and a sense of humor often missing from Elektra books.
