im sure she could hold her ongoing, and theres so much it could cover. but for some reason id rather see her popping up regularly or frequent minis would be fine for me . her current dark reign series has been AMAZING so far i think anyone who hasnt picked em up DEFINATELY should. but they still have a lot to explain with only one issue left to go so yeah . this should be interesting _________________ SHADOW AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

I used to collect her books when they were out. I would like to see them start her again.

Is there any Elektra fans here apart from Miel elektra??
I'm a fan I think Elektra suits a mini series format better than an ongoing. We can just dip in and out of her adventures and let her retain that air of mystery thats integral to the character. Her last ongoing ran for 35 issues, and that was without numerous artificial sales bumps by sticking her in crossover events (I'm looking at you Ms Marvel) which is not bad all things considered. A female centric ongoing is just a real hard sell in the market, whoever the character is, so regular minis would be the way forward.

Not only should she not have an ongoing series, she should die, preferably at the hands of moloids. There. I said it. I've never liked her. I never will.

It would be surprising see this character getting an ongoing now. She hasn't been in much, apart from that mini. She also had an "off panel" death at the hands of She-Rulk (yeah, the Red She-Hulk said she killed Elektra). _________________ Kaine - "Gwen Stacy."

I saw that by Red She-Hulk. Either Bravado talk or Elektra is part of Red She-Hulk in a merged manner perhaps.
Regardless, I read the Elektra series from a few years back in TPB form and liked all that I read.
For whatever reason Marvel has a tough time keeping good talent on their books outside of X-Men, Avengers or Spidey(which is questionable IMO but I digress). Its compounded with female characters.
The thing that saved the Ms.Marvel title was the whole switch to Moonstone and Dark Reign. That title's quality had been in a slide till the Moonstone thing happened. It'll be the first solo female book to hit issue #50 in a number of years.

Yeah, I don't think that there is much truth to it...but stranger things have happened in the Hulk series _________________ Kaine - "Gwen Stacy."
