Ninjas and lost souls

One of the most popular characters at Marvel comics, Logan, code-named Wolverine, is a tough loner whose memories began with his physical transformation by a sinister government agency. Elektra is an unstoppable ninja [...] They come together in this story - an illustrated novella - by Greg Rucka, and in his beautiful action-packed prose they come to life.

Greg Rucka excells at action-adventure. He also excells at characterization, breathing life again into the tough-but-good Logan and the alienated-but-intelligent Elektra. Ekeltra has been hired to kill a man, and does so, but is witnessed in the act by his fourteen-year-old daughter, Avery. Elektra subsequently kidnaps Avery, and learns in doing so that she is not an average teen: she has healing powers and fighting skills far beyond the normal. Logan is induced to track down and save the kidnapped girl, pitting himself against Elekta, whose skills are a match for his.

One of the best moments is when the man hiring him shows Logan a photo of Avery and her mother. The mother appears familiar. "Is this my daughter?" asks Logan, in a moment of total vulnerability and ignorance of his own past.

Usually prose works based on comics aren't very good, in just the way that movies based on comics usually aren't. This is one of those wonderful exceptions, thanks to the writing skill of Greg Rucka.
