Chance is the 14 year old daughter and only child of Lucas
Falconer, the man who defends the city of Devil's Echo from
occult dangers. The occult defender of Devil's Echo has always
been a Falconer, and Chance wants to begin her training in the
family business, which traditionally starts at age 14;
unfortunately, Lucas thinks that the job is to dangerous for a
girl, so he wants to wait for Chance to have a son and to train
him. Chance, never the traditional type of girl, doesn't
take this laying down, and when a powerful shaman shows up in a
coma, with his young daughter missing, Chance decides to
investigate on her own, with the help of her two foot long pet
dragon, Georgie. As the back cover describes it:
What follows is the adventure of a lifetime, filled with shape
shifting Trogs, Indian mysticism, Sewer Goblins, a fire
breathing dragon, and even a monstrous sized, city destroying
Toad.
This is a fun comics series, with likeable characters and lots
of action. Devil's Echo is itself an interesting setting, like
any modern day city with computers and technology, and magic just
another part of life to deal with (the emblem of the police
department is a pentagram). As the series goes by, she picks up
various friends and allies, and constantly gets involved in occult
related troubles, to the never-ending consternation of her father.
