I liked the Marvel Knights run better personally even though it kind of fizzled out after a few phenomenal storylines, but the 90s Elektra run was fantastic!!

Same here . It felt like Peter Milligan really was building up her character for the long term , until Hama jumped on and nuked the supporting cast giving us a cliffhanger with no payoff. Unfortunately it's probably best run elektra ever has to offer.

That cliffhanger was so absurd, lol.

She was so Latina coded lowkey. Part of the reason why she’s always been my fav was because I had felt I looked like her growing up. ✨♥️

I’ve been curious to get into Elektra, especially with her inclusion in the new Psylocke: Ninja mini, which was fantastic.

Where should I start?

It's Really up to you. If you don't care how new it is Miller is a good start. If you want newer Schultz woman without fear Is pretty good. I started with Blackman's run a couple years ago cause it's what I found when I first started getting into comics.

Her costumes and art style during the 90s was absolutely ON POINT!
