Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Echo is an American comic book independently published by Terry Moore, who is predominantly known for his previous self-published series Strangers in Paradise. Produced under his Abstract Studio imprint, Echo follows the story of Julie Martin, an amateur photographer who witnesses the murder of scientist Annie Trotter during tests of the Beta Suit, an experimental high-tech flight and combat machine that utilizes a newly created alloy produced by the Phi Project. Annie, who had always urged caution during the development of this new alloy, was killed by her superiors in order to pave the way for more aggressive exploitation of the alloy, but the attack (With missiles) also scattered the alloy across several square miles of desert. The subsequent rain of alloy coated the wilderness (And Julie) with tiny pellets of this wonderful (and dangerous) new metal. Julie quickly discovers that she can not remove these pellets from her skin, and they absorb any new pieces of the metal that come into close proximity as they begin to alter both her body and her mind. The series follows Julie, her park ranger acquaintance Dillon (Annie's boyfriend, now looking into her murder) and NSB agent Ivy Raven (Originally assigned to track down all the pieces of the alloy) as they try to figure out what, exactly, this new metal does, and how they can survive/take down the corporate/military conspiracy that is coming for them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Like most of Terry Moore's works, Echo revolves around a core cast of strong female characters with artwork that focuses on realistic body dimensions, as opposed to statuesque women in skin-tight clothing (although it does have a little bit of that as well). Interpersonal relationships and emotions are a primary focus of the series, despite its action/adventure plot, and readers are kept in suspense as personal and historical information is only revealed as it is brought up in the story, so you never know more than the characters themselves.The series has concluded with issue #30 and has been collected into trade-paperbacks. Vol 1: Moon Lake Vol 2: Atomic Dreams Vol 3: Desert Run Vol 4: Collider Vol 5: Black Hole Vol 6: The Last DayThere's also a complete edition that collects the entire series in one phone book-sized volume.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Not to be confused with the video game called Echo, or the Franco-Belgian comic with the similarly pronounced title Ekho, the superheroine (Echo / Maya Lopez, also called Ronin) or her solo comic book Phoenix Song: Echo. | |

Artistic License – Biology | |
| Echo (Comic Book) / int_18aff462 | comment |
Artistic License – Biology + Artistic License – Nuclear Physics: Carbon dating Cain's finger reveals his age as being 25,000 years. Carbon dating is used to test how long it has been since an organism died (or when a piece of organic matter was removed from the source organism), not how long it has existed (the carbon-14 that testers look for is continuously "topped off" by simply living, and this stops at death, beginning the decay that the dating test is looking for). Since he was clearly alive only days earlier, it speaks more to the alloy having weird effects than Cain being very old. While on the subject of nuclear physics, if you're talking about protons (a common, well understood sub-atomic particle) having special properties because they came from an alloy (as opposed to from an element or an atom... not that that makes a difference to the proton's properties), well... you may as well be talking about splitting beer atoms with a chisel. A scientist equates being covered in plutonium particles to being a walking atom bomb. While plutonium is harmfully radioactive, only the special conditions that produce nuclear fission (like the other explosives in a bomb) would result in a nuclear explosion. | |

Girl-on-Girl Is Hot: When Ivy is starting to be seriously disturbed by the changes to her body, particularly that her mind is regressing in addition to her body, she instructs Dillon to not sleep with Julie since that is how the she first began to be changed by the alloy. Dillon is too preoccupied with the implication that they had sex to recognize the importance of other parts of the conversation. | |

Now she has friends and a life as Laura and asserts that Stephanie is dead. Played with a bit, as she became the mask deliberately, and had little real choice in the matter. | |

Your Costume Needs Work: Inver...subver...no freakin' clue. The crew take a break at a rest stop and inform the staff that they are there on government work. However, thanks to the body-warping Phi-project, Ivy is too young and Julie is too beautiful to be taken as government employees and Vijay, the new tagalong member of the gang, is Indian. The staff is now convinced they are serving M. Night Shyamalan and a movie crew, despite all claims to the contrary. | |

Split-Personality Takeover: Annie is far from malevolent, but as time goes on and the Beta Suit makes more and more changes Julie is beginning to fade away and fears that soon she will be completely gone, replaced by the woman now living within her. She has even begun to sign her name as "Annie Trotter," and she is apparently not even aware that she is doing it. In issue #27 the takeover is complete as, with Ivy's urging, Annie admits that she has been in control for some time now. Issue #30 shows that Annie still exists in some manner in Julie despite the destruction of the suit. | |

Fountain of Youth: Due to the Phi-Project, as Julie gets bigger (and bigger...and bigger) Ivy is rapidly de-aging. First it is simply superficial, a few inches of lost height and a slimmer waist, but as time goes on she gets younger and younger, until she actually becomes what appears to be an adolescent, maybe even pre-pubescent, child. She finds the entire situation horrifying and disturbing, and even begins to lose her mental faculties and memories of what has happened. | |

Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Dillon is no smaller than an average man, but with the Phi-project affecting her body Julie begins to steadily grow larger and larger. At first she is simply tall and statuesque, mistaken by a few people as an actress or model, but she continues to grow until she is positively huge. When she and Dillon are lying on the ground head-to-head, his feet only reach her knees. | |

Tap on the Head: Subverted Jack is knocked down with a single punch to the jaw, but in the very next panel he is moving his arms and is pushing himself up in the one after that. | |

Artistic License – Nuclear Physics | |
| Echo (Comic Book) / int_c446f93c | comment |
While on the subject of nuclear physics, if you're talking about protons (a common, well understood sub-atomic particle) having special properties because they came from an alloy (as opposed to from an element or an atom... not that that makes a difference to the proton's properties), well... you may as well be talking about splitting beer atoms with a chisel. | |

Hollywood Atheist | |
| Echo (Comic Book) / int_da46a2c0 | comment |
Hollywood Atheist: Subverted. Ivy instantly dismisses Cain's claim to being the Cain and Julie thinks that she is just arbitrarily making this decision because she does not believe the story, but Ivy then explains that she has given a lot of thought to combining creationism and modern scientific understanding. Even assuming a literal interpretation of the Bible and a humanity that has only existed for a few thousand years, Cain would have to be black, since only common African ancestry for all humanity could account for the current diversity of skin colors after only a few generations. (But, some Christian faiths like Mormonism include a change of ethnicity/skin color as part of Cain's (or Ham's) curse). | |

A God Am I | |
| Echo (Comic Book) / int_dc1761bd | comment |
A God Am I: Cain does not believe that he is actually God, but he does believe himself to be the Cain. This leads him to assume himself to be immortal and protected from harm by God, and he spends a lot of time having direct conversations with the big one (Whether God talks back is a different question). The scientists working on the Phi Project are well aware of the power and impact of the technology, and even the ones advising patience and cautioning against tests are swept up in the possibilities. | |

| Echo (Comic Book) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Ivy begins to suspect that her superiors in Washington might not be as completely trustworthy as she thought, so she decides to make a call to somebody outside the system that will be able to help her peek behind the scenes. The next panel, framed from behind, is apparently Casey getting a phone call. Tambi Baker guest-stars in a later issue, which also features one of the former Parker Girls, and it is revealed that she and Ivy are on a first-name basis. | |

Real After All | |
| Echo (Comic Book) / int_fb724048 | comment |
Real After All: Cain never displayed any powers or skills beyond what was bestowed on him by the Phi-project and was clearly not immortal, so Ivy rejects out of hand his claim that he was actually the Biblical Cain... at least, until she gets the results of the carbon dating of his finger. The analysis places his age at over 25,000 years! | |
