I really enjoyed the last issue, but I absolutely loved Elektra #2. If you havent picked this book up, I suggest you do so. Its definitely worth a read Read Full Review

Elektra #2 a fantastic looking book that is backed up with some decent writing. Easily one of Marvel's best new debuts since Black Widow and a book to certainly watch as time goes on. If you have the cash — it's time to invest in a new series. Read Full Review

Ultimately, this issue continues the strong start of the first issue. While the choice to forgo the usual introduction to Elektra's life outside of the costume like many other recent Marvel #1s has been both a positive and a negative, the positives mostly outweigh the negative. It's largely a matter of Blackman and Del Mundo diving straight into a mystery not really giving the reader a chance to get know Elektra before bringing in the action, but that action is beautifully portrayed regardless of our emotional connection to it. Going forward, while the plot is interesting and engaging and Blackman knows how to write a mystery, the series needs that emotional connection to Elektra to make it work. Read Full Review

Elektra #2 is short on the story but still one of the most artistically beautiful book on stands now. Read Full Review

All in all, while there are still some rough edges to be worked out (most notably, Elektra being allowed to take real ownership of the title), Del Mundo's visuals are magnificent, and exactly the follow up that a character of this caliber has deserved for a very long time. It took nearly 30 years, but finally a new "Elektra" title has a chance at stepping out of the shadows of "Elektra: Assassin" and breathing fascinating new life into the character. Read Full Review

Two issues in, the pulse behind the book is still a man who ate his own children’s hearts. I hope Del Mundo and Blackman keep Bloody Lips as a strong character and keep up their mind-meld in general. Del Mundo’s art grabs the eye of anyone who flips the book open, but I think Blackman’s solid writing will prove itself more and more as we go on. Read Full Review

I'm so thankful for this title. In a time when we're seeing new title after new title emerge, we're definitely feeling the pain in our wallets. But with Haden Blackman and Michael Del Mundo on board with this title, we're reminded of how graceful and deadly Elektra should be portrayed. Blackman adds another layer to the story in this issue and now we get to sit back and enjoy as it all unfolds. How long do we have to wait for the next issue? Read Full Review

The plot still feels mostly like setup so far. Blackman plants a few more seeds in this second issue, and it appears as though the story is about to make a jump in setting again. After two issues, Blackman's scripting has seemed to be intent on laying some basic ground work, but also providing ample space to showcase the art of Michael Del Mundo. As a result, the story remains a bit simple thus far. However, his scripts have included incredibly well crafted moments and Del Mundo's art is not to be missed. It is still unclear what Elektra will be, but for the art alone this is a title that should be in everyone's hands. Read Full Review

Elektrahas been better than I dared hope when I heard the announcement for the series. The artwork alone is worth the price of admission. If Blackman can continue to play with the emotional turmoil of the character and add in some physical drama and violence, then we are going to have quite the series on our hands. Read Full Review
