dmstarz's favourite marvel comic cover no123
Poor old Matt Murdock. Marvel just loves to put him through the mill, don't they? Though, let's face it, if all he did was turn up at court and stick it to some bad guys with great oratory, the book wouldn't sell very well. In the midst of some serious difficulties with the Kingpin and also alienating some of his closest superhero friends, Matt's probably looking for a little affection from someone else who appreciates amorality. Who better to turn to than Elektra? However, coming over like a vulnerable cute little puppy probably isn't Ms Natchios' cup of tea. Still, this is a beautifully painted image by Alex Maleev. One of Maleev's strengths is using different artistic techniques. Here he seems to nod to David Mack, Bill S and all their influences in coming up with a gorgeous picture. That red feels really, really deep.
