Before reading this book, I never thought that I'd care much for Daredevil or Elektra. But after reading this book, I realized that I wanted to read more about them both, especially their 616-verse selves.

I can't comment on how similar or dissimilar they are to their 616 counterparts, since my exposure to them is limited. However, I really enjoyed this book. I like the complicated relationship between them and how Elektra's thirst for revenge comes between them. The art is good, and I think that this is a good contribution to the Ultimate Universe.

The trade also includes Daredevil (vol. 2) #9, which is written by David Mack. The story isn't as intriguing as the Ultimate version, but it's okay, and Quesada's art is pretty good. ( )

A well-done retelling of Frank Miller's original saga about Daredevil and his first love, Elektra. Matt and Elektra are college students who fall in love, and a wedge is driven between them when Elektra's response to a bullying rich boy is a tad more lethal than Matt's. Includes an additional story pitting Daredevil against the Kingpin. The Elektra story is far more compelling, with fine artwork too. ( )
