4.0 out of 5 stars
A colorful package, June 26, 2006
This review is from: Elektra Volume 4: Frenzy TPB (Paperback)
In "Relentless," the creative team behind Elektra showed us how the resurrected assassin stalked and executed her prey in a series of global assignments. Now, in "Frenzy," the focus is on a single job: the murder of the mysterious religious and political leader of a growing band of freedom fighters/terrorists in the turbulent island nation of Naou.
It's easy enough for an agent of Elektra's caliber to infiltrate the rebel encampment. But her resolve is tested when she tracks down the leader -- who proves to be a charismatic, bloodthirsty 8-year-old boy who claims to be a spiritual prophet reincarnate.
Elektra's solution is, of course, inspired. Even more interesting in this book are the views of her stealthy, ghost-like movements through the camp; her ability to pass unseen -- and sometimes to leave bleeding corpses in her wake -- would be uncanny if this wasn't a comic book.
The art in this collection is clean and stylish, maintaining a standard set by earlier volumes of the ongoing series.
