Shadowland: Elektra-Marvel-$3.99
3 out of 5 stars
Summary:
Master Izo talks with Elektra out in a snowy landscape surrounded by tall cliffs. Izo appears to be trying to talk Elektra out of climbing those cliffs because of what is beyond them.
The writer hits rewind and plays a scene of Elektra taking out a bunch of guys. It turns out that she got paid to do so by a man in the C.I.A. While meeting with the C.I.A. man to collect her money, several ninjas show up. Elektra knocks out the C.I.A. man, so he won’t get hurt or do anything stupid.
The ninjas work for Daredevil. They say that he will no longer tolerate her presence. They say she has until the sun rises to be off the continent. She kills all the ninjas. These ninjas are members of The Hand, an organization that tricked Elektra into murdering Master Izo.
When she goes outside, she sees Daredevil fighting Bullseye on a big screen. Daredevil stabs him.
The story goes forward to Elektra climbing the cliffs that Izo tried to stop her from climbing.
Writer (Zeb Wells): Even though this comic is a one-shot, it sure doesn’t read like one. It tells the reader that the story continues in Shadowland #3. Well, there are things that I would like to know now. What is beyond those cliffs? Why does Daredevil want Elektra gone? The comic seems to only give a vague answer to this. How exactly did The Hand trick Elektra into killing Izo?
Art (Emma Rios): Rios is definitely good at portraying motion in her work, especially in all the fight scenes. When a punch or a kick is released, you would almost swear that you could hear that crack in bone it makes when it lands on the opponent.
Covert Art (Sana Takeda): Takeda portrays Elektra in her fierce yet flowing red outfit, which emphasizes her sexiness and her ability to swiftly take out an enemy.
