	Elektra - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
		Marvel Comics' Elektra was a late example of the former and an early example of the latter.
		Elektra was first seen in Marvel's Daredevil #168 (January, 1981), as one of an endless series of monthly menaces, but with a twist — this particular hired assassin was an old girlfriend of his, and he was as surprised as the readers to see her doing that sort of work.
		Elektra and her back-story were created by cartoonist Frank Miller (no relation to the Frank Miller who created Barney Baxter in the Air), who was then just starting to make his reputation in comics.

	Amazon.com: Elektra: Assassin: Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz: Books
		As an author, Frank Miller is renown for his ability to reshape the standard clichés of the pulp genre with a fresh and inventive approach; Sin City et al worked precisely because although he stayed true to the style, Miller injected a much needed dose of personal passion in the process...
		But then, story is only half the appeal of the comic format, and Bill Sienkiewicz's mixed-media art is what elevates Elektra to the graphic-novel pantheon, not quite attaining the crown glory of Watchmen or the Dark Knight but coming very close.
		Sure it was courageous to take Elektra totally out of Daredevil's world and establish her as the baddest assassin on the block, especially in a no-holds barred mature reader format.

	Revolving Door of Death 06 - Elektra (Nov 1999)
		For a character that appeared on the comics scene so suddenly, the reaction to her death involved an unexpected intensity; but with this intensity came a rational doubt that Marvel would stick by the commitment it made to leave her dead.
		The Elektra character continued to grow in popularity during her absence in a way atypical of dead superheroes, whose deaths usually only result in grumblings about how lamely creators presented their demise stories, or in skepticism about the publishers' commitments to keep them dead.
		Given his trend-setting, standard- raising history in comics, and his overall role in a medium where his represents one of the central styles to plagiarize, readers must grumble at the needlessness of his working in cliche.

	Elektra (2005 film) - Marvel Universe
		Continuing from Daredevil, Elektra is revived by Stick after dying from the mortal wounds she suffered from Bullseye.
		One of Elektra's main problems is that many devoted comic book fans felt that Jennifer Garner's portrayal of the sexy Greek assassin was somewhat lackluster and did not capture the spirit of the comic book character.
		Garner was criticised for being too "girl-next-door", as she is generally seen as the classic "wholesome American girl", whereas Elektra Natchios is an exotic, feral, sexual and often bloodthirsty character.

	Elektra - DVD Movie Central
		Elektra's undignified and inglorious death was, of course, faithful to her actual demise in the "Daredevil" comic book.
		Elektra then a "Kung Fu"-style film, the chief differences being that the protagonist is female, there is little actual martial artistry on display, and the setting has shifted to a wooded arena populated predominately by Caucasian actors.
		The character of Elektra still holds a lot of promise, but she may have to wait to be reborn in a new movie to really live up to her full potential.

	Addicted to Comics #3 » PopCultureShock
		We may all like to call ourselves “comics fans,” but when Joe asked everyone in the audience who threw away their comics after they read them, to raise their hands, not a single hand went up.
		Unlike the millions of “hot” comics that comics speculators were buying back in the early 90s by the box-load, that clearly were not “rare,” today’s Marvel comics, actually are rare.
		For the record, I think Elektra's a good enough fighter to pose a threat to Wolverine, but in no way is she superior to him or so far above him that he's intimidated by her.

		That was the case with the surprisingly charming 13 Going on 30, and I also liked Garner when she first played Elektra in Daredevil: “Garner brings solid grace and power to her parts of the film.
		Unfortunately, she seems overwhelmed by the burden of stretching Elektra to the leading character in a full movie, and her bland performance reflects that.
		Those are represented by Elektra’s flashbacks to her own childhood, and they mean that the film often feels like something you’d see on Lifetime.
