...so how is Echo alive again?

So she's back "because reasons." Gotta love how a writer just ignores what previous creative teams have done.

As much as I like Bendis, Echo's death was entirely pointless.

[thatnickguy]

Pointless or not, if Marvel continues to push for some sort semblance of continuity, they should have some kind of reason. Even a throwaway line or something.

I should add that I didn't even know she was dead because I haven't read an Avengers comic since Busiek's run.

Spacetime reshuffling post Secret Wars?

I think that's going to be the answer for the next five years or so. We have to remember that we're not watching Earth 616 anymore.

Usually I am right there with you. Pitch forks and all.

But undoing pointless character deaths I am all about. Especially post Time Runs out.

" It happened and we're not going to bring it up right away, if ever " is at least more novel than " Please enjoy this part of the story that exists to reverse a previous one. It's so interesting and not at all the equivalent of watching them put the set together before the play starts. "

I agree with that. Sometimes, you just have to accept "because otherwise, the story couldn't happen" as an answer.

[philippos42]

OK, that was actually pretty clever.

FWIW Bendis had Echo appear in his "last Daredevil story" End of Days and she mentioned that the Hand resurrected her after she died.

[stolisomancer]

If I remember correctly, the Hand was already in the process of stealing her body by the end of the Moon Knight arc when she died. I assumed that was what had happened here.

"Kinetic Living Audio Wave"?

I like stories like this where the heroes win by solving things without their fists.

"Best damn song I ever heard."

Matt, are you sure? Maybe it was just a tribute.

It doesn't happen that often, but Marvel does seem to enjoy the chance to have Daredevil fight Klaw. Especially since Daredevil is more vulnerable to Klaw than pretty much every other superhero.

Didn't Klaw make an appearance towards the beginning of Waid's run?

[starwolf_oakley]

Yes.
