Elektra Volume 1: Bloodlines by
3.0
I bought this trade on sale because I liked the art, and I'm easily satisfied with that purchase. Mundo's art in this comic is something to behold as the careful brushstrokes and deep colours make this reminiscent of the Japanese art Elektra is (stereotypically?) based off. The colours are breathtaking, and the contrast of the light blues and whites against the harsh reds, whilst not overly original, are very well done, and something I personally enjoy a lot.
As I said, I bought this trade for a the art, and thus didn't expect much from the story. The story itself is fairly boring, and seems to be the usual comic plot of "There's someone who is an x (in this case an assassin), I am a better x". So nothing mind blowing but entertaining nonetheless. I would say I'm sick of "edgy" comics stories about assassins reconciling with their past and whatnot but I did buy an Elektra comic, so that's my fault!
Overall this is a nice little book, with amazing art rivalling that of Phil Noto and an average story that was still enjoyable.
