Stories

Dark Reign Elektra Part 1 · 22 pages
Elektra emerges from the spaceship at the end of the Secret Invasion with the rest of the heroes replaced by Skrulls and is immediately incarcerated by Iron Man. Once Osborn takes over and replaces SHIELD with HAMMER, he allows brutal experiments to be done on Elektra to find out what exactly the Skrulls did to her. Paladin sneaks into the compound in order to assassinate Elektra but, even all bound up, she gets the best of him and escapes Osborn's clutches.

Publisher’s description

In the wake of the Secret Invasion, Elektra finds herself back on Earth. However, it is a long road to recovery for the injured assassin, as she is transferred from the care of S.H.I.E.L.D. to Norman Osborn's H.A.M.M.E.R. Now, she must escape captivity to find out who has put an 82 million dollar bounty on her head. The first to try to claim it? Paladin! The first in a five-issue limited series by Zeb Wells (AMAZING SPIDER-MAN) and Clay Mann (DAREDEVIL), spinning off from Dark Reign. Variant cover depicts ninjas of the Hand, though none appear in the issue.
