There's a lot to like about Phoenix Song: Echo #3, and it really feels like the best is yet to come. Read Full Review

This continues to be an enjoyable series.

I always enjoy a callback to a character's creation. The whole reason Echo was made a Native American was because her creator learned hand signs from his Native relative. Sure the pace felt a bit rushed in this issue but I like how Echo communicates with some people. Plus now Forge isn't just a plot element, having the Adversary as a villain feels right to connect Echo to more characters.

I enjoyed this issue. The story really picked up, and I don't think that's just subjective: There's an impressive amount of plot and character development done here.

I definitely prefer the main artist's clean, expressive style to the grubbier work in the Forge scene. (But I recognize the grubbiness is (mostly) a stylistic choice.)

The script wasn't spectacular, but it also wasn't flawed. I still find the writing more "comic-book-y" than I'd really like, but it works in an issue like this where there's plenty going on.
