Parallel to El Reinado del Diablo, this headline of Daredevil centered on Miss Natchios that delves into her past and her intentions.
Panini Comics uncovers a hidden curtain behind the training and motivation that young Elektra had before she met Matt Murdock / Daredevil.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle
When we met her we knew that she was destined to turn the life of a rather prudish Matthew Murdock completely upside down, despite his nightly outings as a security guard. The kitchen of hell in his Daredevil alter ego. Elektra Natchios was not a passing love, she was someone who, despite arriving in a retrocontinuity exercise, had already passed through Matt’s life and now that she returned, she promised to turn those somewhat wild college days upside down. Because Elektra is that and more, she is a visceral woman, without half measures, who takes what she wants because her charm is irresistible, like the waves of her long hair.
But then Bullseye came along and sent her six feet under the ground, dramatically dead, in a scene hard for any reader to forget. The legend was served but a new element was going to come into play, the resurrection by The Hand, that mafia organization halfway between the mystical and the less scrupulous Yakuza, the one that forces you to cut off your fingers when you make mistakes that are still They can be paid that way. But the Elektra who returned was no longer the one we knew, it was the worst version of him, the one that never had an iota of innocence.
the good boss
Now Wilson Fisk has arrived wanting to take revenge on many people and he hasn’t even sold the dossier he kept on Elektra to the highest bidder, he has given it away. That’s how wicked his intentions are. And that is when The Hand returns to the life of our heroine, with elements that until now we were unaware of, but that are going to enhance the past of a woman of arms who, to reach that culmination, had to go through her own training in high intensity and little initial satisfaction. Where Stick couldn’t get to if Aka did.
And what is the plot of this first and interesting number we are not going to reveal more information to you, it is very worth getting into the story to discover step by step everything that begins to surround this Elektra who is going to live her own tie-in inside The Devil’s Reign. And she does it with a drawing inspired by the Brazilian Rafael De Latorre, whom we have already seen in the current Black Widow collection but who is much better known for his contribution to the Aftershock series. , Animosity.
The importance of the intelligent writer in Daredevil
But the absolute architect is a screenwriter that we have been talking wonders about for more than two years. Chip Zdarsky had already been leaving important brushstrokes before returning to the collection of Daredevil, especially with a character like Spiderman, with a more casual tone. What he has been telling us about Elektra, her transformation into Daredevil to help Matt, initially interested in darker reasons to win his favor (which she still maintains) but with a change of mentality that has left her sais without lethal elements , resembling them to the classic batons of the blind superhero.
And that characteristic evolution from the shadows to a cleaner aspect of soul is the work of a screenwriter who has known for a long time where his path is headed, since this whole story began that has reunited the destinies of Murdock / Daredevil and Natchios , which brings out the most brutal in him and sweetens her, makes us fall in love with the woman she is and the one she can be, the captivating ninja assassin and at the same time that more confident version of herself, of her women’s weapons, her passion and her falling eyes. I want Elektra on my team but if he were single and could be lucky enough to win her over… I’d also want her in my bed… even at the cost of being able to die with his neck slit, it’s worth the risk.
