Elektra & Clea Strange Are Marvel's Most Terrifying Women in Official Art
Clea Strange and Elektra are two of Marvel’s fiercest heroes, and they are at their most brutal in a series of stunning variant covers by Peach Momoko. Momoko is known for memorable, jaw-dropping covers, and her variants for May’s Devil’s Reign Omega and June’s Strange #3, show Elektra and Clea at their fiercest.

Yet the two have risen to the occasion, and two new Peach Momoko variant covers, for Devil’s Reign: Omega #1 and Strange #3, celebrate Clea and Elektra’s fierce natures.
