Uniform Stealing Board

Elektra (who has recently taken up the Daredevil mantle) is being chased by the authorities and hiding on a college campus. She escapes by stealing a student's clothes and blending in with the crowd.

And yet an other scene with gorgeous drawings, but no aftermath shown... Such a shame. It reminds me of the one in Doctor Aphra. In fact, is it me or are the two victims a little similar? Young women, short light hair... Is there some kind of curse preventing them from getting a complete USB scene... (Joke aside, thanks for sharing. I've never taken much interest in comics, but some of them are downright gorgeous to look at. At least, it gives ideas for character descriptions... )

I like how in addition to the jacket, she took the girl's shirt, pants and backpack as well. T.Y. for another good find T.P.

this is an outstanding find

I believe Daveyjonesagain is right , Elektra wears the whole stolen outfit pants, backpack , jacket and shirt...and the boots as well (yes the college girl was wearing boots )

in my humble opinion the badly-beaten, maybe trident-pierced , unconscious cutie has been stuffed into the school locker

the comment by Rufusluciusivan made me thoughtful about a different point of view... currently the ONLY acceptable, expendable victims in a USB scenario is an innocent looking blonde girl ( you know, because of their assumedly ancestral guilt )

wishful thinking the elektra in this serious was considerably more heroic ... ,took the clothes yes ,,badly beat the victim no.....

I wouldn't go there at all. I was merely amused by the coincidence. Two recent (as in from the 2020s) scenes, both have gorgeous drawing styles, a disappointing off-screen payoff, and a similar-looking victim.

Given the fact that Elektra is a well-known heroine, I'm even wondering if the girl didn't willingly give her clothes. If Batman one day came in front of me and said he needed my clothes to save the twon, I'd probably comply.

yep thats what i would think is the most likely scenario ...spot on

In the new series, Elektra is less cruel than in prior arcs (she no longer kills people, even villains) but she's still not a true "hero." In this storyline, she is wanted by the police, and she needs to resort to some non-heroic tactics to get away. So I expect she left the girl alive but unconscious. (She also stole the backpack as a means of storing her superhero costume.)

Interestingly, although Elektra has been a part of Marvel comics since the 1980s, I think this is the first time I've ever seen her engage in USB tactics. Usually when she has disguised herself in the past, it's not explained how she acquired the clothes.

In any case, I agree that the artwork is lovely.

Yeah that claim doesn't make any sense at all. Bringing needless politics into things rarely makes sense on this board.

And yes, given this is a decidedly more heroic Elektra, the student was likely swiftly rendered unconscious or tied up. I wish there was a discovery scene but this was still quite funny.
