Frank Miller & Lynn Varley’s Elektra Lives Again picks up after the events of Elektra’s death in the pages of Daredevil. Like Miller and Bill Sienkiewicz’s earlier series, Elektra: Assassin, Marvel released this book to the direct market under its Epic Comics imprint in order to bypass the newsstand and the Comics Code Authority. The story focuses on Matt Murdock having dreams of Elektra’s fate after Bullseye killed her. As he devolves from the pain of these dreams, Murdock receives word that Bullseye was killed in prison. The Hand wishes to resurrect Bullseye to defeat a resurrected Elektra and Murdock is once again drawn into their war. With Elektra’s help, Matt kills Bullseye and lays his demons to rest. Miller intended this story to wrap up Elektra’s narrative, but Daredevil continued on and Marvel resurrected Elektra once again. Elements of the art serve to bridge Miller’s style between The Dark Knight Returns and Sin City while he even slips in a cameo of a mutant from The Dark Knight Returns (pg. 18). This edition will primarily appeal to Daredevil or Elektra fans or those who want early editions of Frank Miller’s work. Marvel later reprinted this story in their Elektra by Frank Miller & Bill Sienkiewicz Omnibus. ( ) I gave this book an extra star because of the artwork. While drawing style is not my favorite (everything just feels a little bit too squared off for me), the colors are just phenomenal. You can really see how much effort was put into them and they bring life to drawings that to me feel kind of flat. Elektra is a character I really want to like, but when I read the books I always feel disappointed for one reason or another. A big part of that with this book is that it's really more Matt Murdock's story then Elektra's. It hints at what is to come and really focuses on Matt trying to deal with her death and his fears regarding her possible resurrection. This is an okay story, but it's more that it's a story that has been told a million times with a million different characters. It's the artwork that really makes this book a standout.

Our jobs are often a big part of our identities, and when we are fired, we can feel confused, hurt, and powerless--at sea in terms of who we are. Drawing on extensive, real-life interviews, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health shines a light on the experiences of unemployed, middle-class professional men and women, showing how job loss can affect both identity and mental health. Sociologist Dawn R. Norris uses in-depth interviews to offer insight into the experience of losing a job--what it means for daily life, how the unemployed feel about it, and the process they go through as they try to deal with job loss and their new identities as unemployed people. Norris highlights several specific challenges to identity that can occur. For instance, the way other people interact with the unemployed either helps them feel sure about who they are, or leads them to question their identities. Another identity threat happens when the unemployed no longer feel they are the same person they used to be. Norris also examines the importance of the subjective meaning people give to statuses, along with the strong influence of society's expectations. For example, men in Norris's study often used the stereotype of the "male breadwinner" to define who they were. Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health describes various strategies to cope with identity loss, including "shifting" away from a work-related identity and instead emphasizing a nonwork identity (such as "a parent"), or conversely "sustaining" a work-related identity even though he or she is actually unemployed. Finally, Norris explores the social factors--often out of the control of unemployed people--that make these strategies possible or impossible. A compelling portrait of a little-studied aspect of the Great Recession, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health is filled with insight into the identity crises that unemployment can trigger, as well as strategies to help the unemployed maintain their mental strength.
