Elektra #8

Elektra sits enthroned like royalty on a golden, ornate chair — a sai held casually in hand, a sniper rifle propped beside her, and towering stacks of cash surrounding her feet — while a tuxedoed attendant presents a silver platter loaded with weapons. Mike Del Mundo's painterly cover for this 2015 Marvel issue radiates cool, dangerous glamour, framing Elektra as a figure of absolute, unhurried power. It's a striking image that makes this issue hard to pass up.
