I think this is vol 2 but there were earlier runs of limited series or what-not. Anyway for me this series is significant because it introduced me to 2 creators who were sooooo awesome even at this early stage of their careers: Brian Michael Bendis (Writer) and Greg (Cover artist)
At that time, many reviewers were making fun of how Austen gets assignments as writer or artist but I never minded until this series. We have a great storyline seeing Elektra on all sorts of assignments and finally growing as a character with some depth instead of just skimpily clad, sai-wielding assassin (not that there is anything wrong with it) and who comes and spoils it with his wooden art? Chuck Austen!No wonder he was replaced within a few issues
I mean come on check out these awesome covers! Ugh!
Ratings (5/10) ... would have been a 6 or 7 if not for Chuck
