Elektra the dancer = electrifying!

Reminds me of that Grease song... "Cause the power you're supplying It's electrifying! You're the one that I want! Ooh bop shoo bada bada... ooh ooh ooh honey!"

@mickoreo_LZ: Probably because I lost my "lair" when we moved into the city and the fact that I have a bunch of comics...in my garage.

@Silverwolf: Maybe I should do another video showing some of my toys...like maybe on Monday...

Actually, during the time of ninja. The women had a special class in the ninja field. They were call Kunoichi. The name comes from the strokes that make up the kanji for woman 女(onna) . く(ku) ノ(no) 一(ichi) They were specifically trained in various forms on infiltration, seduction, and assassination.

I wonder if she dances to the Electric Boogie by Marcia Griffiths? "It's Electric!"

What I don't quite get. Why does she have to explain to Wolverine that she's dancing as a job??

I read this back when it came out, so I don't remember the story, but from everything you said, I'd rate it barely a 2.

Not bad, G-Man. I'll have to believe all that when I see the comic. And that should be easy. Three words: Half-Price-Books. Ever hear of it?

I'd actually pick that issue up. The way I get my comics from the Big Two, I just mainly go for issues that were either milestones or turning points in a series, and the first and last issues (example: Nova #1 (1994) and Thunderstrike #1 (1993)). The only exception (or one of them) is how I'm currently collecting all the comics that tied in to Crisis on Infinite Earths (of which I am becoming a historian on).

I loved this series! Much more than the 2000s one (which often used awful crappy cgi art...ugh...plus the plot was fun in this older one!)

This series really was just not good at all imo
OOC Elektra, bad dialogue, and just way to many shifts from happy to grim dark.
I think the only issues I liked from this ongoing were the ones written by Larry Hama.
The Marvel Knights ongoing was a lot better.

Sliders is one of my favorite sci-fi shows. Man, that brings back memories. Hate to see it that got cancelled.

By the way, I saw the Elektra movie and it was horrible. That movie has so much potential. Oh geez. Anyway, I did watch Daredevil: Director's Cut and it was better than Elektra.

G-MAN is that the best G.I. JOE message of the day you can come up with? Kids don't forget to take your Vitiams. Remember knowing is half the battle. The lesson at the end has to be strong. So it can impact all those kids out there. :) Great Review.
