ELEKTRA: THE MOVIE
ONLY A WARRIOR CAN COME BACK FROM DEATH!
The comic adaptation of the blockbuster motion picture starring Jennifer Garner, this collection captures all the cinematic
excitement of the new hit movie- plus a selection of the classic Daredevil and Elektra stories that inspired the film!
The world's most dangerous assassin, Elektra remains a mystery, a shadow- until she chooses to reveal herself. Trained as a ninja, loyal
to no one, she sells her amazing abilities- and her mastery of the deadly sai- to the highest bidder. Moving from job to job, contract to contract, she
can visit death on the most defended of targets- for a price. It is who she is, what she does, the whole of her identity. Her life is one of seclusion,
cover identities and a bewildering succession of disguises. A single fact is certain: Every time Elektra kills, she knows exactly how it feels to die!
Collecting the Elektra movie adaptation, Elektra's first appearance from Daredevil #168, her death at the hands of the assassin Bullseye in Daredevil #181, and a special flashback from Elektra Minus 1.

ELEKTRA: THE MOVIE
Script: Sean McKeever
48 pages • August 2002 Elektra signs up to assassinate two people under orders from an unknown client. But when she finds out the identity of the duo- a
man and his young daugher- she bucks the assignment. When the Hand takes over the job, she defends them and helps them escape to safety.
Hooking back up with her old mentor, Stick, they are besieged by Kirigi and his band of warriors. Elektra finds out that the young girl

years.
