Well, it’s no secret that I’ve been loving this series so far. And happily - this issue hasn’t changed my opinion at all - it’s still a thoroughly good read. But what makes issue four stand out from the others?

***SPOILER ALERT***

Off the back of issue 3’s cliffhanger ending (of sorts), Terry has worked his magic in opening by showing one of the most detailled (and disturbing) crime scenes I can remember. I spent a good 5 minutes just looking at the subtle details within the main page (when you see it - you’ll know which one I mean), completely blown away by just how breathtaking it was.

Those who have been reading Echo will have noticed that Terry has slowly been feeding a few snippets of Dillion into the book over the past few issues. Dillion Murphy appeared to be a seemingly insignificant but interesting character, but in issue four, we learn that he is in fact very much linked to the events unfolding around Julie - being the boyfriend of Annie - who was the person wearing Echo in the first issue…

A lot more goes on in this book - but if I carried on typing - I’d be spoiling it for you. Pick this book up - it’s a good introduction to the series, and a damn good read.

Pete’s Score: 4 out of 5
(buy it - it’ll be worthwhile)

Man alive - am I glad I’m buying this book.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Terry Moore’s Echo is constantly a great read from month to month, and this issue is no different. The story continues to follow the path of Julie, unravelling her past a little more with each issue.

Issue 3 gives us some more information on Julie’s broken marriage, and allows us to begin to understand why she sometimes seems to shy away from life. It won’t spoil anything to tell you that Julie is a very broken person, in every sense of the word - and that, in itself, makes this series all the more interesting.

At the tail end of the book, we also get a little glimpse at the ‘other’ liquid metal recipient (hinted at in Issue 2), in a terrifying moment that should lead to an extremely interesting future for Echo…

Pete’s Score: 4 out of 5
(enjoyable through and through - DC could learn a great deal from this book)
