Echo returns in a new comic co-written by Taboo of the Black-Eyed Peas which gives her a new power that will “redefine her adventures in the Marvel Universe”

MCU rising star Echo is in the limelight in a new comic book one-shot that will unveil a new ability for the Indigenous heroine which Marvel claims will “transform her journeys in the Marvel Universe.”

Crafted by Taboo from Black-Eyed Peas fame, alongside his frequent collaborator B. Earl, who previously co-wrote a Daredevil and Echo limited series, and illustrated by Jim Terry, Echo: Seeker of Truth honors Native American Heritage Month by transporting Echo to fresh locations and enhancing her skills with a “enigmatic new gift.”

The one-shot will also showcase the print debut of Echo’s digital-first Echo: Dream Descent Infinity Comic by writer Melissa Flores and artist Kyle Charles. It includes an introduction by artist Jim Terry as well as an interview with Ray Taken Alive, Cyril Archambault, Lawrence Archambault, and Dallas Nelson, the crew behind the Lakota language dubbing of the original 2012 Avengers film.

We’ve obtained an early glimpse at internal pages from Echo: Seeker of Truth, along with cover art for the issue by Echo co-creator David Mack, Carmen Carnero, and Maria Wolf. Take a look:

“When her cousin vanishes in Los Angeles, Echo travels to the City of Angels to uncover what transpired,” states Marvel’s official synopsis of Echo: Seeker of Truth #1. “However, what she uncovers is a series of vanishings focused around a cryptic wellness cult known as Wisteria Meadows. As Echo delves further into the enigma, she’ll learn a truth about herself she never anticipated. But who is the faceless puppeteer orchestrating the cult, and what is their nefarious agenda?”

Echo’s typical comic abilities encompass the power to imitate others’ movements, in addition to being a highly skilled hand-to-hand fighter and proficient in various weapons. In the MCU’s Echo streaming series, she also acquires the capability to channel the strength of her ancestors into amplified strength and other effects.

“Having the chance to craft our second Echo narrative feels like a superpower or strength,” declares Taboo. “As a proud Native American/Mexican storyteller, possessing that platform to co-write about superheroes that resonate within our Marvel Universe is what I refer to as ‘good medicine’ and essential to motivate our readers.”

“As a storyteller who enjoys blending myth with pop culture, it’s exhilarating to return to Echo in a narrative that will add another dimension to her character.”
