    Elektra beats them all

    This short lived series featured a partially redeemed Elektra trying to establish herself in New York City.  It took away from some of the regular motivations and behaviours from her past and tried to establish her as a regular superhero.  Issue 7 shows though that our favourite martial artist in red still is an unstoppable fighting force.  As assassins descend on New York City to prove they are worthy of the reward for killing the Architect by trying to kill each other, Elektra attempts to stop them all.  She single handedly hands defeat to some of the most dangerous villains in the Marvel Universe.  It is revealed that she still has feelings for Matt Murdock, which leads to her defeat in a fight and nearly her death.  She comes back in the end to beat the Taskmaster, something which the entire Avengers team has had trouble with in the past.  The writing is good, this sort of serves as the climax in my mind for the Architect story arc, though she actually deals with him in the next issue.  Although Elektra looks a little different than her usual, Mike Deodato continues to draw her in his way, and makes his style her's as well.  Overall an enjoyable issues if you like your action mixed in with an actual plot and decent dialogue.
