Elektra #6

Bathed in a harsh searchlight beam from a hovering helicopter above, Elektra stands triumphant atop a scattering of fallen bodies, her twin sai raised in each hand and dark hair flowing dramatically behind her. Michael Del Mundo's painterly cover work gives the scene a moody, cinematic atmosphere — all deep teals and shadows — that perfectly captures the character's lethal elegance. Issue #6 of this 2014 Marvel series makes a striking visual statement about just how formidable the world's most dangerous assassin truly is.
