Yes, Elektra did witnesses a mystic ceremony that russurrects the died, but then puts up with a typical japanese origin story that takes place in, yes you guess it, "Feudal Japan". Nothing much though; an orphan get's taken in by a Sensai and train's him in the art of a samurai after his mother was arrested by the authorities for killing a customer (the mother was a prostitution), but the boy killed him and she took the blame for it, thus saving her son. The thing is, that guy ''deliberately' dropped the pick just for the boy to get a chance to kill him, HOW LAME WAS THAT. I wouldn't recommend this issue because Elektra didn't do anything but listened to a lame origin story about the Hand.
