The writing duo behind the upcoming Ultimate Hawkeye one-shot, Taboo and B. Earl previously penned the hero in 2023’s Daredevil & Echo limited series. ECHO: SEEKER OF TRUTH #1 will be drawn by artist Jim Terry and feature a stunning cover by the character’s co-creator, superstar artist David Mack.

The saga follows Echo to Los Angeles where she must protect her family from a new threat. During the course of her mission, the former Avenger will confront a startling secret about her legacy, unlocking a mysterious new gift that will redefine her adventures in the Marvel Universe forever.

Taboo shared about the project:

“Being able to write our second Echo story feels like a super power or strength,” . “As a proud Native American/ Mexican storyteller, having that platform to co-write about super heroes that resonate within our Marvel Universe, is what I call ‘good medicine’ and much needed to inspire our readers. Celebrating the beauty of Echo as our hero is like painting a vibrant mural across the comic book landscape. We aren’t just creating stories, these are like bridges to communities, empowerment, and authentic representation.”

B. Earl added:

“Being a storyteller who loves to marry myth to pop culture, it’s exciting to be able to revisit Echo in a tale that will bring another dimension to her abilities, When our editors asked us to develop a new power for her, we made sure to build it into our own mythic language that was revealed in a previous series. For me this story is also an homage to L.A., being born and raised on the East Coast with a dream to find my way to Hollywood… a dream that ultimately led me to this incredible Marvel journey with Taboo that we have been on for these past several years.”
