Summary: What the movie should have been more like...
Review: I like the Ultimate Marvel Titles. This particular title is a very down to earth believalbe way for Daredevil and Elektra to have met and fallen in love in this day and age.The motivations for the characters stay true to the arch types of the mainstream, but have that slightly tweaked edge that brings it firmly into the world of today. This is better than the movie. Sadly. If you go and see the movie and get frustrated, I'd say sit back n read this and it should make you feel all warm n fuzzy inside...

Summary: Far from being Ultimate at all
Review: It's no secret I'm not much of a fan of Marvel's Ultimate line (besides Mark Millar's Ultimates that is), and this collection (which collects the 4 issue mini-series of the same name) helps me prove my point. Taking place in Marvel's Ultimate universe before Matt Murdock became the horned vigilante and Elektra became a cold hearted assassin, this mini-series is an origin story/love story turned tragic; but the story doesn't go anywhere special, and while writer Greg Rucka is a solid writer in his own right, his story just can't compare with Frank Miller's epic, classic saga of years back. The art by X-Treme X-Men artist Salvador Larrocca is his typical style while he makes Elektra look simply gorgeous. This book also contains issue #9 of the regular Daredevil title by David Mack and Joe Quesada which is the beginning of the "Parts of a Hole" story. I suggest picking up that book instead of this one, and leave this in the dust.

Summary: This is more Elektra than Daredevil
Review: This story retells how Elektra and Daredevil met in college, but in an alternate universe (the Ultimate Universe). The book follows Elektra and Daredevil tends to be a secondary character in the story. I enjoyed it however and anticpated each following issue.
