Marvel revealed both the next installment of the ongoing Elektra story and red band comic in Daredevil: Unleash Hell. The five issue limited series will be written by current Daredevil: Woman Without Fear scribe Erica Schultz with art by Valentina Pinti. Set in the back alleys of the Marvel Universe with a hint towards the occult, Daredevil investigates a series of grisly murders while dealing with the fallout from the main title.
Schultz spoke about continuing the journey of Elektra, stating:
“It’s been such a pleasure to continue writing Elektra, especially donning the horns. In this new series, we have the opportunity to show that just because she doesn’t kill doesn’t mean she won’t make you wish she had. Elektra has been known for her brutality, and we’ll see that on display here. Also, with a Red Band rating, that means we can get real nasty with stuff. Don’t know what I mean? You will. Valentina Pinti and I are very excited to show you this new direction.”
Daredevil: Hell Unleashed joins Blood Hunt, Blade: Red Band, Werewolf by Night, and Wolverine: Revenge in the red band line, featuring gruesome artwork and a special polybag in stores. Paulo Siqueira is set to provide the cover for issue one, which can be seen below.
