Elektra Omnibus by Frank Miller
5.0
Frank and Bill's bizarre collaboration as Garrett fumbles along behind Elektra taking on the Beast.
Bought this mini-series in 1986 at the tail-end of my comic collecting period and have always had a soft spot in my heart for it and the clownish but capable Garrett. The psychopathic cyborg Perry is also one of my favorite villains. The manic story exploded onto the pages with art by Bill Sienkiewicz unlike any that I had seen before. I had a few TPBs in the ensuing years to re-visit until I got this second printing of the Elektra Omnibus. This collection also includes Elektra Lives Again which I had never read somehow, a beautiful but so somber contemplation on Matt's loss of his dark love. Great storytelling and art; highly recommended.
