A beginning with lots of promise

Customer Rating:

Moore gets this series off to an exceptional start. It features Moore's signature artwork: skilled black and white, in a natural and restrained style. Each character has a unique visual personality, but never succumbs to parody. Female characters project a believable mix of strength and softness, also tuned to each personality. And, although some super-heroic antics might appear in future issues of this series, it stays away from the BamPow of the commercial Super Hero In Tights (that's S-H-I-nevermind) genre. Moore gives plenty of time for the situation to develop and for the players to take their places. If anything, the pace might drag a bit for some readers. Plenty of revelation remains for the future, too - like just what that metal carapace is and what it will do, to Julie as well as the people around her. One senses that it will do just as much to the people on her side as to those on the other, but foreboding never collapses into melodrama. If you want a story to begin and end between these covers - well, that doesn't happen. Instead, these opening chapters promise a long and exciting series. I look forward to the chapters ahead. -- wiredweird

Solid Story Great Pencil Artwork

Customer Rating:

this is a solid story, i don't have the trade paperback but i do have all five original issues, i am very interested to see where the store and characters go, especially with the main young woman going through a divorce, being broke and not sure where her life is going until that day in the desert when something comes out of the sky and attaches itself to her, but i won't give any more away from that. the artwork is fantastic, here's hoping we get some big action in future volumes.

A good read for Terry Moore fans and new comers.

Terry Moore, the author of one the best romantic comedies, "Strangers in Paradise," is printing a comic book of a different genre. A drama infused with nuclear weapons, "Echo" is closer to the super-hero genre than the previous title. In this graphic novel, Julie, a woman with financial trouble from a break-up with her husband, was taking photographs by the lake. A woman named Annie, works with HeNRI to test out a new weapon. "This Weapon," when touch by something gentle as a feather does no harm, but when hit by a strong force can be dangerous. Just as Julie was by the lake with her camera, Annie was involved in a weapon test gone wrong... Witnessing an explosion, Julie was exposed to a substance that formed into a breast plate on her chest and shoulders. Eventually she finds it to be violent when touched aggressively. She doesn't know how or why. Julie is unsure what is happening to her but apparently she's dangerous. Someone is after her as well, but someone close to Annie is willing to help. The story and characters are still new to me, but develop well so far. The artwork is excellent. In black and white, Terry Moore puts a lot of detail and love into his work. The women in this story are fairly normal and respectable (and very pretty). ECHO is off at a good start. I'm currently collecting the comic issues, and I haven't seen the paperback edition yet. According to Terry Moore's web page, this has issues #1-5. Although I prefer the comedy Strangers in Paradise, ECHO is a good read, and was worth looking into.
