Echo #12 - Abstract Studio


This is a great book. Terry Moore really has this knack for drawing the reader into the story. We've really come to care about Julie, and her . . condition. And actually, I don't think Ivy is the hard-ass that we all expected her to be when we were first introduced to her. I think she's starting to feel for Julie's predicament. Last issue, in the blast of lightning, Julie almost loses Dillon. In fact he's dead for a few minutes. When she's crying over him, and pulls him in close to hug him, I think some of the energy of the suit helped revive him. He asks for another hug because it's making him feel better. Anyways, Ivy finds the remains of the guy that the other guy incinerated in the crater on highway 95. She knows that it wasn't Julie, because the hand print on the guy is to big. Unfortunately she also knows that the other guy isn't dead. So Julie isn't safe. But while Dillon was dead, Annie, his dead girlfriend, came to talk to him. She told them they have to go back to HenRi and talk to Will. So they're headed there now. Ivy is in tow, tracking them from the air. And Julie is finding out that as she uses the suit, it's beginning to cover more and more of her body. Also her sister Pam has broken out of the hospital she's in. I think she's on her way to find her . . maybe to help. If she can. Ivy calls them to check in, and Dillon finally asks her the question . . "What about Annie? I know she's dead, but what happened to her? Where's her body?" And Ivy gives him the answer he's been dreading, "You mean you don't know? You haven't figured it out? Julie's wearing what's left of Annie." What a way to end the issue. I hate it, but I love it, when Terry does that. I like the characters and the story in this book, but . . the true star is Terry Moore. He's doing a fantastic job here. Thanks for the effort!
