Elektra: The Hand

In 2004, Gotham Entertainment Group launched a five-issue miniseries centered on the deadly martial artist Elektra and her complex relationship with the shadowy ninja clan known as the Hand. Written by a creative team that brought a noir-infused, action-heavy sensibility to the character, the story explores Elektra’s lethal skills and her uneasy ties to the organization that once shaped her. This series stands as a focused, self-contained chapter in Elektra’s ongoing saga, offering a gritty look at her world without the wider Marvel Universe’s distractions.
