Continuity
It is deliberately left vague whether the events in Elektra: Assassin take place prior to Elektra's initial appearances in Daredevil, or whether it details a subsequent resurrection. Former Marvel editor Mary Jo Duffy, in the introduction to the Elektra omnibus, claims that Frank Miller conceived the series as taking place before Elektra's Daredevil appearance. Subsequently, the series has been dismissed by many as non-canonical. However, during his run as Daredevil writer in the 1990s, D.G. Chichester used Garret as a character, thereby establishing the series as being part of the mainstream Earth-616 continuity. (Garrett also shows up in a cameo role in Miller and Lynn Varley's 1990 graphic novel Elektra Lives Again. In addition, events in Elektra: Assassin are alluded to in writer Garth Ennis' 2000s Punisher run when Elektra makes an appearance.) Garret can be seen currently in Secret Warriors.
