"Especially with Elektra, because I'm doing a lot of the covers for the new version of Elektra"
About this Quote
The phrase “a lot of the covers” does double duty. It’s a flex, but an anxious one: covers are prestige, yet they’re also repetition, deadlines, brand management. Sienkiewicz built his reputation by making mainstream comics look unstable in the best way - painterly, expressionist, confrontational. Saying he’s “doing” the covers positions him less as a lone genius and more as a working artist navigating an industrial pipeline. That’s the subtext: creativity as labor, signature style as deliverable.
“New version of Elektra” matters, too. Elektra is a character with a fixed visual identity in fans’ heads (noir eroticism, razor-edged elegance, tragic violence). A “new version” implies reboot logic, corporate refresh, the need to update without breaking the icon. Sienkiewicz is signaling intent: he’s participating in that negotiation, using the cover space to bridge legacy and reinvention, to assert that this Elektra can change yet still feel like Elektra.
