“Standing Outside the Temple in the Rain Part 1”

In "Standing Outside the Temple in the Rain Part 1," Elektra seeks guidance from a reclusive martial arts master, accompanied by Jeremy, as she grapples with her path between violence and discipline. Writer Greg Rucka and artist Joe Bennett deliver a tense, introspective chapter where a grueling sparring session ends in refusal—leaving Elektra’s journey uncertain. The cover by Greg Horn captures the moment’s quiet intensity.
