Echo #6 - Abstract Studios


Terry Moore is just a fantastic story teller. We've come into this title completely cold . . a brand new character on a brand new adventure . . but Terry's really brought us into this girls life real fast. The story revolves around Julie, but Dillon is fast becoming as important a part of it. I think he's going to be the key to her figuring out just what's going on with this 'suit'. This issue they finally start to tell each other what they know about Moon Lake. Julie tells him the story about the explosion and the suit. And he tells her that his fiance, Annie, may be the one responsible for this whole thing. "Annie is . . was . . a physicist at HeNRI. Yesterday, they told me Annie died in an accident. I think it had something to do with the explosion at Moon Lake. For the last five years, Annie's been working on something called the Phi project. The symbol on your chest . . that's the Greek letter Phi. That's Annie's work." They're slowly starting to put the pieces together. However, they may have to get on the stick because as they're talking, a private contractor, Ivy, is back at Julie's house rummaging through her stuff. She's trying to figure out what makes her tick so she can find her . . for the military . . or at least HeNRI. But I don't think they really care whether they get her dead or alive, because all they want is the suit . . whether it's attached to her or not. I really like the way that Terry is gradually unfolding this story. It wouldn't be realistic if she just jumped in the suit and starting playing around with the powers. Plus, I don't think Julie thinks like that. I don't think she's even starting thinking about the opportunities, because right now all she's worried about it how this thing has changed her life . . and how she's going to get rid of it. I really appreciate the quality of this book. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who asks.
