Echo vol. 2: Atomic Dreams

Throughout this volume, I could hear the sound of the plot thickening.  Julie hides out, gets to know Dillon better, finds more out about her suit’s abilities, and comes face to face with the homeless guy who has part of it grafted onto his hand.  On the opposing side, Ivy successfully investigates Julie’s history and seems to genuinely want to bring the girl in via the safest way possible.  She also finds out that her employers haven’t been totally honest with her, and it should be interesting to see how that develops over subsequent volumes.

Overall, we get some good character development and hints about the story’s overall direction.  The worst thing that I can say about what I read here is that it didn’t take things to the next level.  I’m still interested in seeing what happens next, but as the subsequent volumes aren’t readily available on Amazon, I feel that I can wait until I encounter them on sale somewhere or at Comic-Con in July.  It’s recommended, but “Echo” isn’t something I’m truly passionate about.  Yet.
