Ann Nocenti Returns for Legacy Milestone Elektra #100

Published Thu, 20 Jan 2022 09:41:10 -0600

Comics legend Ann Nocenti is returning to write a new Elektra story as Elektra reaches her 100th legacy issue this April in Elektra #100. In case you were wondering, that's eight issues from Elektra Assassin in 1986, one Elektra Lives Again graphic novel, four from the Elektra 1995 mini Root of Evil, twenty issues from Elektra's first 1996 series (including Elektra #-1), thirty-five issues from her 2001 series, three from Elektra and Wolverine: Redeemer in 2002, another four from 2002 with Elektra: Glimpse and Echo, five each from Elektra: The Hand in 2005 and Dark Reign: Elektra in 2009, a Shadowland: Elektra one-shot in 2010, eleven issues from her 2014 Marvel NOW! series, five issues from her 2017 Marvel NOW AGAIN! mini-series, Running with the Devil.

Okay, let's see. That makes for 102 issues. Hmm. Remove Redeemer since it was co-billing with Wolverine, and that's 99. And now it all adds up!

Here's what Ann Nocenti had to say about this on the comics blogosphere:

When I was roaming Hell's Kitchen back in the 1980s spinning Daredevil and Typhoid tales with John Romita Jr., Elektra had just died in Frank Miller's run, and resurrecting her was taboo. So when editor Devin Lewis asked if I would like to do an Elektra versus Typhoid story, I was instantly hooked. I read Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto's fabulous Daredevil stories, and was inspired by the tense character triangles they set up… It has been a blast to return to Hell's Kitchen!
