     This issue tells the story of how The Skrulls took Elektra out, and then took her over. I say that seperately, because Elektra did not go quietly.  On the other hand, this is a mostly wordless issue, where we are shown Elektra cutting a huge swath through quite a few Skrulls, shaped as Daredevil, Wolverine, and then herself.  Through the issue she dispatches so many Skrulls I began to think how dangerous can an invasion by them be?
      If a Skrull can be knocked off this easy, the rest of the superheroes should have a real nice time of it. One point of fact I would like to bring up about this issue. If you do a mostly wordless issue. It is good to make sure the art can carry the story. This barely happens here. This turns what could have been a good issue, into one that barely gets over mediocrity.



    2 stars? come on people.

    Wow, I am surpise at the 2 stars rating that's below average! I happen to like the story, how else was Elecktra was going to get taken then none then a skrull with superpowers or shall I saw sump up superpowers way advance for her. Elecktra is more of a natural scrapper, yes she does have a few superpowers that are derived from her martial arts training.
    This issue connects to New Avengers #1 and New Avengers #42.

    I have to say that the Elektra take down was definitely a story I was waiting to read.  However, I have to say that I was on balance quite disappointed in this issue.  It's not a complete disaster, by any means, but it's underwhelming.  There are nice moments when the real Elektra battles Skrull versions of herself, Daredevil and Wolverine (very appropriate picks for the character) and the cover is a nice homage to a famous Frank Miller DD.  Once again, though, I didn't really feel that Pham's art did the issue justice and, well, there just wasn't enough reading in this issue, though it's nice to get a satisfying reason for why Ms Natchios became the leader of the Hand (something I always felt seemed peculiar).
