![]() ![]() The Elektra Saga sees Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, encounter long-lost love Elektra Natchios, who now works as a ninja assassin at first going after the same target as the hero. ![]() And while this is Daredevil’s story, it’s Elektra who defines the personal tragedy that is central to Miller’s entire narrative. The Saga covers issue 168, Miller’s first story as solo writer after working as penciller for 9 issues, 174 through 182, and 187 through 190.
