Shadowland: Elektra #1

Elektra lunges forward in her signature red costume, twin sais raised and ready, while a massive shadowy figure looms behind her with glowing crimson eyes — Sana Takeda's cover art is all kinetic energy and atmospheric menace. This 2010 one-shot from Marvel's Shadowland event brings together writer Zeb Wells and artist Emma Ríos for what promises to be an intense spotlight on one of Marvel's most formidable warriors. If you're drawn to stories with sharp edges and sharper characters, this is one to pick up.
