Dark Reign: Elektra

Marvel’s 2009 Dark Reign: Elektra is a single-issue spotlight that drops the assassin into the paranoid, Norman Osborn–run landscape of the era. With Lee Bermejo’s moody, cinematic art defining its look, the story peels back Elektra’s lethal code and her place in a world where heroes and villains have traded places. It’s a tight, atmospheric character study that shows how even a killer-for-hire navigates the moral chaos of the Dark Reign status quo.
