Consider this- Daredevil is goimg through its best run since Frank Miller's "Born Again" story. Thanks to Bendis.Who can create charcters such as Alias, possibly the most human,reachable heroine in comics.
Now consider this. The most beautiful woman to grace recnt comic history also appeared in Daredevil. But she is the work of David Mack. Echo. Maya Lopez. And, at last, she's back. There is something about working on the Daredevil title which continues to inspire.
Maybe some Red Indian spirit, like Maya seeks in Visionquest. Maybe some longing for love comes up to the surface. as does Maya's here. A woman lost in her silent world who seeks what we think she has already - vision. But she seeks the one which enlightens the heart. Like all of us need to.
Like this book does. To elaborate on the story would spoil it. To overstress its beauty would be diificult.
I won't even try.

For David Mack fans, not superhero fanboys
25 Nov 2006
Format:Paperback
If you'd like to see Daredevil swinging through New York City beating up bad guys, this is not the comic for you. Although this is technically Volume 8 of the recent Daredevil run, it isn't exactly part of the regular continuity. The five issues that make up this volume were going to be a separate miniseries, but when Bendis and Maleev needed a break from Daredevil (after the Issue 50 battle with the Kingpin), the Echo mini was published under the Daredevil title instead.
This has led to an unfairly bad reputation for this beautifully painted, dream-like exploration of identity and willingness to fight for a cause. Daredevil subscribers expected more of the plot and action that had filled the series to that point, and this meditative break was frustrating, particularly considering the point that Bendis had halted the main plot.
If you are a fan of Alias (the comic) or Kabuki, this is for you. If you would like to gaze in awe at the poetic writing, beautiful painting and stunning mixed-media art of one of the most creative men in comics, buy this comic. You won't regret it.

One of the best graphic novels I have seen
7 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
This graphic novel contains a WONDERFUL mix of styles and storytelling. David Mack uses collage to blend a myriad of styles, colors, and layouts to tell a narrative that is both moving and enchanting. Some of these styles include realistic watercolor and pencil renderings, and simplified line art evoking children's drawings or Native American pictographs. This book is beautiful, art-wise, and though it is set in the Marvel Universe, one does not have to know the characters to enjoy this story; it is so well done that the characters become understandable as archetypes even when one does not already know who they are. This is by far one of my favorite graphic novels ever.

It is not part of the DD series
19 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
Unreadable. Just a series of painted and collage pieces. If you are into artbooks, go for it.
