Daredevil: Woman Without Fear #2

/ / Comics

Continuing the tie-in to the larger Devil’s Reign arc, Elektra finds herself pitted against Kraven the Hunter. Hoping to use old secrets against her, Kraven is shocked to discover Elektra has revealed all to Daredevil.

The next issue should offer more of the pair going at it while Elektra’s old mentor enjoys the show. And now Elektra has the Thunderbolts to worry about as well. The longer tale, should she survive, we see teased as the possibility of Elektra and Daredevil teaming up to take out out the Hand.
