Echo is in a much more intriguing place by series' end than she was at the beginning, so despite some aspects of the series holding things back a bit, Phoenix Song: Echo is still a win. Read Full Review
I was so excited when I read avengers and one of my favorite characters got the phoenix force. Then I was so excited hearing there was going to be a miniseries. Now after finishing it I really don't think it could be better. I loved everything about this!! I had to reread it a few times and like it more everytime. That last page from the writer and artist was fantastic too. Thank you to the creative team this is a gem!
After getting lost in the tall grass in the middle issues, this series wraps up pretty strong. The prose remains a bit rough, but the art is highly polished and the plot marches confidently to a satisfying resolution. It's a classic, clean win for the good guy. Though the script takes a few too many pains to lay out its themes, that's probably preferable to ambiguity.
This was kind of a sour note for this pretty good series to end on. The wrap up feels a bit clinical rather than triumphant, and that's unfortunate.
