REVIEW: Daredevil #7

Veteran comic book fans already know that in the past Daredevil has been one of Marvel Comics's darker books. That all changed when the book was relaunched earlier in 2011 with Mark Waid as writer and both Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin trading off on pencils. The book has been a hit since issue #1. Simply put, it's just fun to read - exceptional artwork, great plot, and a hero you can't help but root for. Issue #7 is no different. Seriously, if you're not already reading Daredevil, you need to be.

Review: Elektra Assassin

At the height of her popularity in the 1980s, Elektra, Daredevil's sometime lover and enemy, was actually already dead. Frank Miller's ground breaking 8-part miniseries Elektra: Assassin showcased early adventures of the assassin. Although Frank Miller didn't draw the series, Bill Sienkewicz's stunning artwork certainly dazzled the audience with his unique style, which was last seen during his run in the New Mutants series.

The Elektra: Assassin hardcover collects the miniseries originally published by Marvel's other imprint Epic Comics during the 1980s (references to Communism and Cold War phrases like "Mutually Assured Destruction" certainly pop up). Like other Daredevil characters during Frank Miller's run on the series, such as The Punisher, Elektra was actually a likeable antihero/villain. The miniseries captured a classic adventure of Elektra at an undisclosed period before meeting her final fate at the hands of rival assassin Bullseye. Daredevil is not featured in the entire paperback except in a minor cameo, but other characters such as Nick Fury and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., play pivotal roles. In fact, the storyline involves S.H.I.E.L.D. experiments gone horribly wrong, an ancient evil and an assassination attempt at the President of the United States.  At one point, Elektra is locked up in an asylum and has to escape. What else would you expect from a character like Elektra and a writer like Frank Miller? Readers will see flashbacks from her training with her mentor Stick as well as his death which was alluded in the Daredevil series.

Overall, while the story may not be impressive, Miller does reveal some background hints on Elektra's past. The hardcover certainly adds more depth to the character and leaves the reader to decide and judge her actions and motives during her appearances in the Daredevil series.

The amazing visual style done by Sienkewicz both for the cover artwork and the entire miniseries, truly captures the essence of the madness in Elektra's life and quite possibly, her mind.

Amazing Spiderman Website

Sony Columbia Pictures has updated the official website for the Amazing Spiderman movie. Interestingly, at the bottom of the website entrance it says The Untold Story. The website does provide a tremendous amount of details for the upcoming movie and PLANNED sequels. This information is all revealed once you click the Story section. Additionally, there are other sections such as Characters and Gallery that also detail much of the upcoming movie. It's already a known fact based on the comic-books, that the character Curt Connors (played by Rhys Ifans) will eventually become the Lizard, another villain from Spiderman's rogues gallery, and face-off against Spiderman.

The movie's premise and focus, which opens on July 3, 2012, appears to be Peter Parker's early teenage years. None of the images reflect any of his days at the Daily Bugle. Actress Sally Field plays (a much younger) aunt May Parker and Martin Sheen plays uncle Ben Parker. Making their first appearance outside of the Marvel comic-books on the big screen, will be Gwen Stacy portrayed by Emma Stone and and her father captain Stacy played by Dennis Leary. It's assumed that as the sequels progress so will Peter Parker's life, career and adventures as Spiderman.
