Echo #3 - Abstract Studios


I really enjoy a good Terry Moore story. Especially on the characters that he's created and illustrates. You can really tell that he cares about them and they become a part of his life. To me, he seems to be the type of writer that tries to nudge things in a certain direction, but, at the same time, he likes to let things take their natural course. I think he has a plan for how he wants to have the story roll-out, but then at the same time he knows that there's going to be certain points that he just has to write what would happen next. With this approach he keeps the stories very realistic, and tends to draw the reader in more because the troubles that the characters deal with are things that could happen to anybody . . at any time. We came in to this story when Julie, a photographer, was out in the desert taking some pictures. That's when events converged and she ended up straight in the path of destiny. However, we know nothing of Julie's past or what's brought her to this point in her life. But that's ok. As the story about her situation unfolds, we're also getting the pertinent information about her past. Such as her marriage, the divorce she's going through and, with this issue, the situation with her sister Pam. So basically, the story has started at a certain point . . the uniform exploding and then bonding with her body . . and then it's evolving in both directions . . forward and backwards. There's also some new events and characters that are brought in to the mix this issue. Like I said I really enjoy Terry's style and approach to his story-telling. Consequently . . I've enjoyed the way this story has unfolded so far. I can't wait for more.
