Enemy of the State (Part 5)
By Mark Millar, John Romita Jr, Klaus Janson
Mar 2005
- Wolverine vs Daredevil in DD's apartment and Wolvie brought some friends, a couple dozen ninjas; but it is all a trap; Elektra is on a nearby rooftop with a sniper rifle and a bunch of SHIELD agents but then Gorgon shows up and takes out the SHIELD agents by turning them to stone
- Elektra vs Gorgon - they battle on the roof, in the snow with blades
- Daredevil gets the upper hand in the fight, tries talking Wolvie back to the good guys side but Wolvie remains resolved to follow orders until he falls backwards and is impaled on a sword, then he begins to see things clearly again but Hydra isn't ready to let him go
- Wolvie starts to explain what Hydra, the Hand and the Dawn of the New Light have planned, he figures that they will teleport him out of there and they do but before he vanishes he tells DD that they have a hit planed on POTUS
- DD points out that Wolvie failed in his mission but it turns out that DD wasn't the target but the bait, the final page is a splash page of Elektra on an altar, presumably about to be killed or sacrificed by the baddies
- loved the twist at the end, made what seemed like a very straight forward story seem like much more than that
- so far this seems like an Elektra story in much the same way that Batman Year One is often described as a Jim Gordon story
4/15
