Elektra
Character » Elektra appears in 1192 issues.
The lethal scarlet assassin. Daredevil's most fearsome enemy as well as his former lover and most renowned as being the greatest assassin in the world.
Elektra, Assassin For Hire in December
In the 1996 volume of Elektra, she did her best to stay on the side of the angels. I recall she even took in a teenage girl to try to steer her on the proper path.
But things are never easy for Elektra. She managed to survive getting abducted and replaced by Skrulls before the Secret Invasion started. We just saw her back in proper form kicking major butt in her Shadowland one-shot. So what's next for Ms. Natchios?
Marvel has released a teaser for a book coming out in December apparently called "Assassin For Hire." No other information is available. I'm sure we can all agree that being an assassin is a bad job. Even if she tries only killing "bad guys" for money, killing is killing. It should be interesting to see what leads Elektra to taking this route once again and what the other heroes in the Marvel Universe will think when they find out.
Does this sound like something you'd be interested in?
Love the artwork...
Elektra will be like Dexter (Showtime) - Good (a cop) by day... Bad (serial killer) by night.
It's good to be bad, and so bad to be good.
The best of both worlds...
Hmm I hope this is an ongoing series, Elektra used to be Marvel's premier Heroine, but her popularity seems to of been fading in recent years. Shame because she's one of my all time favs.
Although if it is an ongoing, I'm not sure how long it will last before it's cancelled, Elektra hasn't had the best history with ongoingseries'...
Also seems that Harvey Tolibao is involved with it, and if his work on the Psylocke mini series is anything to go buy, then this will be worth picking up!
I have read a lot of Elektra books and none of them have made me feel attracted to this character. Nothing about her says that I should read about her... but I am open minded, I'll probably read the first issue and test out the title.

But similar.
Never been a fan or let alone even liked Elektra. She's always kind of been overlooked in my mind.
I did enjoy the time when she was the leader for the hand, until she turned out to be a Skrull =/
Oh yeah. Electra doing what she does best, killing. She's a freakin ninja for god's sake, she needs to do ninja things!
I wonder if it's just like a one shot or if she's actually getting her own thing but if so it'll probably only be like 20 issues but whatever it's still Elektra :)
" Oh, I would buy this. I would like this to be an ongoing. Great cover. Her rack is a bit too big but other than that, sexy. "Well, I'm sure she's made enough money killing folk to get work done. "Elektra: Implants for Hire."
I've only ever been into Elektra as a side character to Daredevil, but seeing as I don't really feel like getting into the convoluted DD titles right now, maybe I'll get into this when it's inevitably released.
Works for Deadpool.
Although, Eletktra has never been funny. And I liked that '96 Deodato series. There were some gems in that short series.
ill buy it im a Huge Elektra mark and taken how we've been let down for a while its time Elektra gets back her Spotlight!!!
