Elektra Volume 1: Bloodlines by
5.0
I hadn't read a graphic novel in a long time and Elektra always feels like coming home to me.
Look, if you want some sort of pacey, plot driven thriller this is not it. It is in some ways - there are elements of a plot here but it is not what it sat down to do for you.
This is high-concept and sometimes, the dream sequences feel like pages of wandering but it comes down to giving you a great character and building a great character through her imagery and her broken, broken mind. And that is what it delivers.
The art in this is stunning and to be honest, the plot is pretty great too. But mostly, the art and the concept is 5 stars.
