review 1: Seems like a lot of reviewers gushing over this graphic novel were coming to it after being fans of Moore's earlier work. Being unfamiliar with Strangers in Paradise, I read Echo: Moon Lake without any preconceptions.Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be continuing on with the series unless my husband buys the next volume. Not sure I would even then. Two-dimensional characters thrown into conflict driven by a gaping plot hole is not my cup of tea. However: the art is lovely (all pencil, no color or inks), and the characters (especially the women) are drawn refreshingly realistically.
review 2: Terry Moore continues to impress with his ideas, designs, and storytelling in the graphic format. With Echo, Terry introduces us to test pilot Annie, who is maneuvering a
... morenew body/flight suit until she is targeted by her own agency. Julie Martin happens to be standing on the ground taking pictures when Annie is killed, raining the metallic pieces of the suit down upon her. Now stuck with a government experiment on her chest, Julie must uncover the secrets behind Annie's death and the mysterious metal that seems to be expanding across her body. One part action, one part conspiracy, one part humor, and one part science fiction, Moore hits all the right buttons in crafting this beginning volume. Highly recommended! less

Not as great as Strangers in Paradise (at least not yet), but definitely worth reading!
