Elektra will be the lead character in a new Red Band series from Marvel Comics, Daredevil: Unleash Hell – Red Band.  The five-issue miniseries has Elektra, who's estranged from Matt Murdock, investigating the grisly crime scenes that are turning up across the city.  The series is written by Erica Schultz (Daredevil: Gang War and Daredevil: Woman Without Fear), with art by Valentina Pinti.

Schultz is promising a high gore quotient.  "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," she said in a statement accompanying the announcement.  "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."

The first issue is planned for January 8.
