Charles Soule's, Matteo Buffagni's and Matt Milla's run at Daredevil did not leave a lot to ask for up until now, and with the start of a new story line ("Electric Connection"), they are proving that they can handle Elektra as well as anything else.
The comic comes straight out of the gate with the fight between Daredevil, Elektra and Blindspot, and is only interrupted by flashbacks dealing with Elektra's reappearance in Matt Murdock's life (remember, she doesn't know any more it's one and the same person). Although Soule isn't able to keep the tension between the two on a constantly high level (telling a romantic story is not one of his fortes), he manages to pull off some truly thrilling scenes, exploring the Elektra/Matt dynamic in its full potential. And the final twist here is surprisingly unpretentious and unpredictable.
But it's the action scenes that shine brightest here. Fast, relentless, superbly choreographed and with a highly aesthetic interplay between light and shadow and a great interpretation of Blindspot, Buffagni and Milla deliver a true high point of the series so far.
