Win Echo: Atomic Dreams (Echo, #2) Author Terry Moore Disseminated As Booklet

second part of the story, lovely artwork, Just impressive, cannot wait for the next one, I liked this book, but it created too many questions, without answering any of the questions left from the previous book, I hope Terry Moore knows where he want to get, and we aren't left with a bunch of loose ends,

This is just a little bit more on Echo running from "the man", but know there is an extra bad guy a crazy man with a piece of the suit, and he seems just as powerful as Julie.

On the other PoV, Ivy is getting closer to Julie and I feel like she is starting to trust Ivy, I just don't know how wise that would be.
. .

This time the quotes on the separator pages are from Oppenheimer wonder who will be the next scientist chosen, Boring. I wish a woman had helped write it, Maybe it would be less predictable, All right, now I'm just straightup having a blast with this series, Moore continues to expand the mystery and world surrounding Julie and the suit that's attached itself to her and the lunatic who's also managed to get hold of part of the suit, all without losing any of the careful attention to character he displayed in the first volume.
I think this is exactly what I've been wanting to read for a long time,

Beyond this, Moore also starts to filter in little bits of philosophy and physics that never feel pretentious or over the top.
They're just there to speak to the situations at hand, and I really dig how deftly he handles stuff like this,

I think it's truly amazing how good he is at both art and story, Most comics artists can do one or another, sacrificing story for art or vice versa, But Moore's pencils are some of the most detailed and careful I've seen in years, his characters more expressive than most you'll find elsewhere.
Art like this, even without color, really breathes life into this already wellpaced mystery, making me care even more about these people than the writing already does.


I'm hooked at this point, definitely going to see this all the way through, I'm hoping it keeps up the consistency, but so far Moore's given me no reason to doubt that it will, Didn't quite enjoy this as much as the first, but I think it's because this was the book that starts introducing all the plotlines that will follow through the rest of the books.
So it felt a little disjointed and like no story really got enough "screen time" to get invested in it, Still enjoying it though and I may enjoy this book more when I read the rest and reread this one, Definitely will keep reading, I find the plot/world interesting, In this book the mystery continues and the plot thickens, Although I found myself entertained enough to continue reading the rest of the series, I don't find this book to be extraordinary, The main character feels too bland and empty, It feels like she is there just to fulfill her role as a vessel to the story, and that saddens me a bit.
I'd really like to see her take on more of a personality, because otherwise there would be nothing to grow from as the story goes.
There are a few other characters that I find fascinating, and that I feel steal the book, I'm still holding out hope though, I'm not even half way though the story, so we will see, While the first book made me think more of SiP, I can safely say that this volume established the series from it's older sibling.
I devoured this book in a day, reading it as quickly as I could get my hands on it amp then flipping through it multiple times

to catch the artwork amp smaller details that I may have missed the first go round.
And there's always little details to catch with Moore's work,

The first volume left Julie amp Dillon as they set off on the road with several bikers in the attempt to stay away from the military.
What they didn't know is that they are being followed by an insane homeless man who also has a part of the suit.
. . and isn't afraid to use it to kill, Meanwhile there's an intelligent amp beautiful woman working for the organization HeNRI the organization that helped make the suit amp wants it back.
That woman is Ivy Raven and Ivy seems to always get what she's working for,

This volume moves much faster than the previous volume mostly because all of the buildup amp character introductions were really made in the first volume.
Atomic Dreams moves the series into a faster pace with more mysteries introduced what's in Julie's "closet box" amp meatier villains, The crazy homeless guy features more in this volume than he did in the last one amp there's signs of Julie's chest plate having more of a sentience than previously thought.


The production values of this volume are far better than the previous volume, Volumemade it seem like it was ran off a printer in mass quantity amp not proofread the pictures weren't as clear in some pages as they were in others, but this volume brings the quality up a notch.
The pictures are clean amp there's none of the issues there were previously,

I'm really looking forward to what the story will bring me in the future amp for the next volume, My only complaint so far is that they aren't coming out fast enough! I know, I'm greedy for Moore! insert drum riff Love! Great art, especially some panels where there is no dialogue but just lovely, stunning, striking art.
Julie and Dillon are on the run, being chased by the mysterious Ivy who I haven't been able to gauge yet,

Is she one of the bad folks Or does she side with the old ones Guess we'll find out soon, along with the identity of the gloved man.


The story proceeds slower than the previous volume, but is still pacy enough to hold interest,

Haven't read other works by Terry Moore, but based on what I have read so far, definitely someone i'd like to read more from.
A quattro mesi dalla pubblicazione del primo volume italiano, ecco arrivato il secondo numero di Echo, la nuova opera di Terry Moore,
Tra laltro, quando la scorsa settimana sono passato in fumetteria a prenderlo, la commessa ha borbottato un “Oh, Echo Bello, anche se non è SoP ma è sempre Moore, e aiuta a far passare il lutto per la fine della serie”.
Sempre più commenti favorevoli riguardo laltra opera di questo autore, chissà che prima o poi provi a leggermi anche Strangers in paradise,

La storia prosegue abbastanza lentamente, anche perché lautore è parecchio introspettivo,
Mi piace lintrospezione, quindi ottimo,

Dillon rimane molto sullo sfondo, qui le protagoniste sono Raven, la detective che sta braccando la coppia, e Julie,
Che oltre a ritrovarsi in fuga, braccata dallesercito e dalla potente Henri, senza praticamente alcun effetto personale e in compagnia di Dillon e di alcuni motociclisti sconosciuti, comincia ad avere anche certi altri problemi.

Come la possibilità che il materiale che ha indosso sia radioattivo,
Come lessere tormentata dalla Raven telefonicamente, senza sapere di chi potersi fidare a parte i suoi compagni di fuga,
Come il ritrovarsi attaccata dallassassino pazzo e fanatico, con una mano ricoperta dello stesso materiale della sua placca,
Come lassistere alla morte dei suoi nuovi amici, come lo scoprire un nuovo potere e quasi una nuova coscienza nella sua placca.
Come il pensare di aver ucciso qualcuno,
Come lo sperimentare sogni vividi e realistici, che noi sappiamo essere sue elaborazioni dellultimo volo di Annie,

Già, perché sembra che Annie, o parte della sua coscienza, sia ben radicata nella placca, più di quanto sembrava nel primo volume.

E sembra cominciare a emergere, a momenti,

Sarà interessante vedere come evolveranno le cose quando si saprà la verità sulla morte della donna, quando Raven scoprirà il marcio dietro la Henri, quando Julie e Dillon affronteranno i sottintesi della presenza di Julie nel metallo che ricopre il petto di Julie.

E immagino che dietro lassassinopredicatore ci sia una gran bella storia da raccontare perché uccide chi parla di quellesplosione Cosa vuole da Julie Vuole prendere i suoi frammenti di metallo
Come ha fatto a essere già così tanto evoluto rispetto a lei Ha il metallo da più tempo

Molte domande, e per ora giustamente nessuna risposta.

Ma la serie dopo due volumi è estremamente piacevole, secondo me merita, .
