    Elektra Deserves Better: Shadowland Elektra

    This is possibly one of the weakest tie-ins i've read to anything.Pretty much nothing happens in this book.What happens in the book is summed up or will be summed up in another book. Basically Master Izo doesn't get why she is supporting Murdock and will help her try and find her way. Elektra kicks some ass in the beginning but she doesn't fight anyone significant. I don't really see why what happened in this comic couldn't have just been an aside in another tie-in. It wasn't worth it. The art isn't bad but it doesn't make up for the story line because it's not very good at all.

      I'm glad they went the way of a parental advisory comic here because frankly anything involving Elektra should be pretty damn violent. In deconstructing the importance of Shadowland to Daredevil, Elektra is one of the primary players you'd expect to see, but it took her a little while to get embroiled in the arc. While Elektra is both a violent and cerebral character, she is not an overly emotional one. She's often called "cold" by other characters in the Marvel Universe and deservedly so. As su...
