Style over substance isnt necessarily a bad thing here, in an issue that offers up plenty of excellent content for fans of Elektra herself. Read Full Review

Overall, this isn't the strongest issue of the series thus far, but fans of the character will still find something to love. Read Full Review

In a bit of a flashback to her past, “Split” catches up to pre-assassin Elektra breaking out of the asylum she'd been locked away in with the help of Typhoid Mary. And in “With a Passion” Elektra's love/hate relationship with Daredevil is examined as are Matt Murdock's failed attempts to save the woman he loves. Read Full Review

The first 2 strips are style over substance all the way; the 3rd swings too far in the opposite direction. (i.e., a valiant effort to cram way too much plot into 10 pages.)

I liked the concept of the 1st, though the visuals let it down. The 2nd is the most stylish, but also the weakest in substance: "Primal attraction to Matt Murdock interferes with Elektra's assassining, film at 11!"

The whole collection's like that; each strip has a large-scale problem holding back whatever promise it possesses.

This issue was mostly duds, if I'm being honest. The Ann Nocenti story could've been good if the art didn't fail to communicate what was happening as much as it did. The Paul Azaceta story felt like it went on too long. But hey, it had sexy vibes if that's your thing. The David Pepose story felt like the most standard of the bunch, but that was just a forgettable story you wouldn't blink an eye at in any other context. Real disappointing, honestly.
