Echo (serial)

A new short series in the Marvel Universe, shortly after Hawkeye. In this case, Maya Lopez is the protégé of Kingpin, only to feel betrayed by him and bring a war home to her Choctaw Nation lands in Oklahoma. I like the character of Echo (new to me), but I am not really sure what Marvel is doing here. Clearly she is the protagonist, but I like my superheroes to have cleaner intent. By that I mean I want to know whether I am rooting for a tortured bad guy or a tortured good guy. Here, I am never sure which way she will go. I suppose that is part of the "plot drama", but I don't really watch Marvel for plot drama, so...

3 stars (out of 5)
