Elektra: Assassin featured Elektra with no reference to her death. The original issues carried the line "The Lost Years" on the inside front cover after the title logo, but the 2000 trade paperback states the following on its back cover: "Whether she's been miraculously resurrected or this is an untold tale from Elektra's past is left for the reader to decide." Indeed, ambiguity is a major feature of the story, which contains mind reading and mind transfer, strange brain physiology, cyborgs, and a multiple stream of consciousness narratives that make one feel as insane as some of the characters. The whole story, which also features
Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. as well as (arguably) centering around a(n exaggerated) Presidential election and an unidentified monster (who seems a hallucination until it interacts with multiple characters and helps determine the story's ending), may well be a hallucination itself, though this bogs us down in our own narrative expectations. Sienkiewicz’s art is stunningly good and remarkably varied, and the plot is noteworthy for its cyborgs, which clearly precipitate Robocop 2. The overall effect is that of a ton of brilliant elements comprising a tapestry that seems flawed as a whole.
