Allow me to geek out for a minute. Renowned comic book writer/artist Frank Miller first introduced his assassin-for-hire character Elektra in the pages of Daredevil (issue No. 168, to be exact). His contributions to the ensuing story arcs are widely considered some of the strongest character-development work done in the comic industry to date.
Elektra, a needless spin-off from Mark Steven Johnson’s already flawed 2003 Daredevil film, might have had a fighting chance if it stayed within the boundaries of Miller’s rich source material. Instead, it can’t even stay consistent with the lackluster film that inspired it.
