arf88's review against another edition

I'm loving this series, but I am starting to notice some bumps in otherwise amazingly crafted comic - the bad guys are all far more one dimensional than the good guys. While our heros get to have flaws and personality, the antagonists are all a bit flat in comparison with no real redeeming qualities. They're bad because they're greedy, and they're greedy because they're bad. This is such an amazing book otherwise, that I'm hopeful Moore will flesh out his baddies in future volumes.

The cast expands even more. We're getting into blurrier and blurrier space. What happened and who all is it happening, too. It's not just our main cast, but as our main cast starts to blur who the main character is (and isn't and maybe IS all at once) we begin to need more background.
More characters join the main cast. And there are moments that get me teary-eyed. Which is not unexpected with Terry Moore. The people shine through who they are and what they do, making these two things are simple as garment we wear as we get closer and closer to what is truly the most important of things.

After a cliff hanger ending in the last volume, this one has an incredible opening sequence where we see the full effects that the suit can have on a person as an unfortunate traveler, in the wrong place at the wrong time, gets blown to bits. The art work for the sequence is incredible.
I liked how the story cuts around, so sometimes you jump to the story line of a different character without knowing the fate of the one you just left. This must've been particularly effective if you were reading these issue by issue. However, we're always shown the missing chunks in flashback the next time we rejoin the previous character so it's never unsatisfying, just sometimes slightly non-linear.
Julie's box is incredibly intriguing. It's mentioned in the story quite early on, and comes up a couple of times in this volume. It's probably the main reason I was spurred on read Echo sooner, rather than later, because it crops up in Rachel Rising. I really want to know what's in it, why Ivy found it so interesting, and why it makes Rick think Julie is a pervert. And, of course, why (original) 'Rachel' (whatever she was called, I don't think we've learned that yet) has a box that looks like Julie's box (or is, perhaps, the same box) and whether the contents are the same. I wonder if that'll ever be answered?
There's lots of action in this one, as well as some more exposition, and an explosive finish. This volume really takes you into the exciting middle section of the story. No stopping me now, I'm reading these all straight through!

A couple of predictable characters continue to be predictable, others show interesting developments, the women are easier to tell apart, and more new characters tangle into the plot-web.

Considering how much I didn’t like Strangers in Paradise, I love Echo. It’s really interesting, the artwork’s different, the story really catching me. I think I’m essentially caught up now and can go on subscription, but we’ll see.
