From the press release:

ECHOES DAILY DOSE OF HORROR
Top Cow and CBR Present Echoes Daily, Including Creator Commentary

In anticipation of the third issue of ECHOES, a disturbing horror noir by writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Rahsan Ekedal, Comic Book Resources and Robot 6 will be releasing one page per day of ECHOES #1 alongside fresh new creator commentary by Fialkov.This 5 issue miniseries published by Minotaur Press, an imprint of Top Cow, and Image Comics has been described by USA Today as having, “honest-to-goodness creepiness” at its heart.

Jonah Weiland of Comic Book Resources stated, “I’m very pleased Top Cow has allowed CBR & ROBOT 6 this opportunity to serialize the first issue of ECHOES online. ECHOES is an engaging and creepy story, the kind that sticks in your head well after you’ve read it. It’s an example of the incredible creativity that exists in the comics medium that deserves greater exposure and we’re happy to do our part.”

Fialkov also looks forward to this opportunity to provide some of the real behind the scenes story of ECHOES to the fans. He added, “As a comics creator working outside the mainstream, I’ve had to fight for every reader. Getting a chance to show off all of that hard work to the huge audience of CBR is thrilling beyond words. It’s a sign of support that every creator dreams of.”

Monday, February 7th, 2011, readers not only get an opportunity to enjoy ECHOES #1 for free, but will also get an opportunity to go behind the scenes each day with Fialkov at http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/echoescomic/ to explore the team’s creative process, including behind the scene details, alongside each of Ekedal’s expertly illustrated grayscale pages.

ECHOES #3 (DEC100530), a 32-page black and white horror comic for $3.99 will be in stores on February 23, 2011. Both Echoes #1 2nd Printing and Echoes #2 are both available for immediate reorder. For more information, visit http://www.echoesthecomic.com or follow on Twitter @echoescomic.
