Echo #13 - Abstract Studio


This should be a TV show . . it really should. I could see it being a weekly serial much in the manner of Fringe, or Bones. Terry Moore has really brought this story, and these characters a long way in it's 13 issues. We've got the 2 main characters, Julie and Dillon. Don't worry. There's nothing at all romantic between them. Dillon's girlfriend worked for HenRi, an atomic research facility. She was testing out a suit that exploded. As it rained down, Julie caught the brunt of it as she was in the area taking some nature photos. Now the suit is becoming more and more attached to her every day. HenRi has hired, what I think is an ex-agent to track Julie down and bring her back to them. But Ivy is a pistol. I thought she was a real bitch at first, but I think she's a person who's trying to do her job, and trying to do the right thing. Even though those 2 things may not work very well together. Julie has a sister, Pam, who has to be taken care of because she lost it a bit after an accident that claimed her husband and kids. Ivy also has family problems of her own. Then we have the usual government cover-up. Add to that the media trying to break the story, but they don't know what the connections are yet, and . . we've got a made for TV story right here. Hey, if they can put Kyle XY, or the Bionic Woman on TV, why not Echo? At least it's original. This issue, after being chased by Ivy, and not knowing what else to do . . Julie and Dillon are heading back to Moon Lake, and HenRi where this all started. Really all they want . . all they've wanted this whole time, is answers. This is a fantastic book, Terry. I wait in eager anticipation for every issue. Thanks for all the hard work.
