Yes.

I never saw ASM2, but from that description, it sounds like they tried to turn Electro into Syndrome from The Incredibles.

I kinda’ liked Electro’s goofy blue skin. It was this part that was too silly for me:

I forget that Stephanie didn’t die but does Drakes Dad dying while he was Robin along with Jason Mom count?

It’s seemingly a special property of Elektra’s sai as it’s specifically been used that way numerous times (as of course a visual homage/callback to the first time that happened, when Elektra herself was killed).

Then Bendis killed Echo again in his Moon Knight. Why’d he hate his pal David Mack’s creation so much?

Nope, its Leinil Yu.

Leinil Yu.

Miller actually started in comics as an artist, and he drew a lot of his own stuff - he drew all of Sin City, and The Dark Knight Returns. Unfortunately, he also drew The Dark Knight Strikes Again, which is one of the ugliest comics I’ve personally wasted time on.

Yes he drew his own Daredevil run (inked by the excellent Klaus Janson who also inked Miller on Dark Knight Returns).

No, you’re right. That’s from when he was the artist on New Avengers by Bendis.

DD stands for Death Dick.

I want to say Leinil Yu because of the inking style, but I think I’m wrong...

I feel like it's a running joke at this point.

Maybe in Miller’s older DD and Wolverine runs but Marvel abandoned the comics code long before this instance of terrible John Romita Jr. art.

It’s a subpar(John Romita Jr.) artist trying to ape the style of another subpar artist(Frank Miller)

Narratively it's padded armor to help with the anonymity of whoever happens to be Ronin at the time but the reality is bad comic book art.

That has long been a Frank Miller trope. I dunno if that particular panel is Miller (it doesn’t look ugly enough), but you can see that thing all through his Daredevil, various Batmans (Batmen?), Wolverine, etc.

I’m more interested in how those clothes make Echo - who is certainly extremely physically fit, but come on - look like she stole her upper body from The Hulk.

Nah. Clothing is lighter, less inert, more flexible than flesh. Tenting like that would make perfect sense. (I am not, myself, a trained assassin or serial killer, I promise.)
