Echo #0

From Image Comics in 2000, Echo Vol. 1 Chapter #0 — "Thick as Thieves" — arrives with a sleek anime-influenced cover showcasing a tight-knit crew of three: a young man in blue-and-yellow gear crouching forward with a blade in hand, a confident woman in black at his back, and a masked figure lurking in the upper corner, while a fourth mysterious face looms large in the foreground shadows. The dynamic composition, with its urban backdrop and sharp character designs by Ken Siu-Chong, Long Vo, Saka, and Charles Park, sets a stylish, action-charged tone right from the jump. At just $2.50, this zero issue is a compelling introduction to what looks like a world built on sharp instincts and sharper alliances.
