Elektra is an assassin though she has tried to be different things. Life with Daredevil is on the outs and she is desperate for an assignment so she goes to the Matchmaker the woman who fixes assassins up with jobs. And she has the perfect job for Elektra: to bring in Cape Crowe the man no one was ever able to bring in and who retired. Here's the thing The Guild has never given up on bringing him in dead or alive, preferably dead and there's a new lead that everyone's chasing. What the matchmaker's doing is setting Elektra up with is an anonymous donor who wants someone to bring him in alive. So the Matchmaker will give her the book on Cape Crow and supplies and transportation to one of his safe houses.
But she isn't alone in looking for him there. There\s the Serpent, or Bloody Lips who eats his victims in order to obtain their memories and their powers such as the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in order to obtain codes and information on Cape Crow. He ate Bullseye in order to get the location of the safe houses and his deadly aim. Lady Bullseye and Scalphunter are also there looking for Cape Crow but Elektra fights them off along with a large animal that attacks them. Besides Bloody Lips is waiting for them to get information from them so he eats all of Scalphunter and a good portion of Lady Bullseye, which is when he tastes Elektra on her sword and becomes entranced and obsessed with eating her.
Elektra also finds a young man Kento Roe, who is Cape Crow\s son who put up the bounty but doesn't have the money he just wants to protect his father. What he does have he will give to her. Elektra agrees and they go to try out another safe house that he knows about. The creepy Serpent follows them as does someone else.
This comic was interesting and a real look into Elektra's tortured mind. And that snake thing was just awful. The artwork used to describe his taking from his victims was disturbing. He was one sicko. Kudos to the artists for getting that across. This was a really good comic with a good story and well-done characters. I give it four out of five stars.
