Elektra: Black, White & Blood #4

Elektra: Black, White & Blood #4 offers three more tales of Elektra in the final issue of the four-issue mini-series anthology, all delivered in black, white, and red. In “Powers You Can’t Comprehend,” my favorite of the three tales, Elektra is hired by the Kingpin to take out a target. What he doesn’t tell her is that target is Ghost Rider which turns to be a harder job to finish than Elektra bargained leading to the assassin reworking the contract with Fisk.

Shadow War Zone #1

Part of the current Shadow War crossover, Shadow War Zone #1 is an overpriced issue will filler back-up stories in an attempt to justify its $6 cover price. They don’t. The main storyline involves Black Canary setting out to find Deathstroke but instead running into one of Talia al Ghul‘s assassins who wants Canary’s help in hunting down and killing the mercenary and isn’t willing to take no for an answer. There’s not too much of interest about the unfortunately named Angel Breaker other than that she gets the upper-hand on Dinah on multiple occasions.
