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
Definitely my favorite issue so far. This had so many things that really liked and has me very excited for the next issue
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.
