5-0 out of 5 stars This is where it all begins....
Fallen Angel is one of the best comic series I have ever read.If you are a Peter David fan, you do yourself a disservice if you don't check this out!This is the one series where he has 100% creative control and let his creativity shine...

The Fallen Angel is a badass, in a way that only Peter David can write.

5-0 out of 5 stars IDW does us all a service
I would echo completely Eric Teall's 4-star review. http://www.amazon.com/review/R37614C9D8CV67/ref=cm_cr_dp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1600106749&nodeID=283155&tag=&linkCode=

My only difference is that I give it five stars because I don't think the smaller page size is enough to warrant a drop in rating.

It bears repeating that unless you go out and hunt down individual issues, this is the only complete collection of Peter David's DC run on Fallen Angel ever released in trade format. DC did release a few trades, but they never collected the full run.

4-0 out of 5 stars Finally, the complete DC Fallen Angel...
Fallen Angel the series is great.It features interesting characters, deals with grown-up situations (I'd say "adult" situations, but "adult" has the wrong connotation here), and asks hard questions.This series pulls no punches:the Angel isn't afraid to do what she feels she must, but she's not perfect and does make mistakes.Combine that with some interesting religious ideas, and you've got a gem of a series that DC Comics just did not know what to do with.It has since found its home at IDW Comics.

This edition is the first collection to feature all twenty issues of the DC run, which is a precursor to the current IDW series.If you've read the IDW stuff, then this will inform and enrich your reading.If you haven't read the IDW stuff, this is a great place to start:same author, same basic cast, same setting.Think of this single book as "Fallen Angel: Season One" and you've got the idea.

The only reason I've rated this 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the slightly smaller size of the book when compared to the typical "trade paperback" or "graphic novel," which is generally sized like a typical comic book in height and width.This copy is comparable to the Dark Horse Omnibuses that one sees for Buffy or Star Wars.I'd rather see David Lopez's art on a larger page.

However, as this is the ONLY collection of this fantastic run of comics (a run with big pay-offs in the later IDW series) and it's VERY inexpensive (20 comics for $22, which is ridiculously cheap) while still having excellent printing and paper, you can't go wrong with this title.Highly recommended to fans of comics for grown-ups (Fables, Preacher, Y the Last Man, Sandman, etc.). ...

Product Description
Mexican Law provides an overview of the Mexican legal system. In addition to setting forth rules and legal doctrines (with reference to the practical application of the law), this volume surveys the key institutions that make and enforce the law in Mexico, and places them in their historical and cultural context. The book makes frequent comparisons to United States legal doctrines and institutions, and provides a foundation for understanding the roles of law and legal institutions in shaping public and private life in Mexico.

5-0 out of 5 stars The first volume in the DC run of the series
I discovered Fallen Angel in somewhat backwards fashion, not that there is anything wrong with that.I was poking around in my local comic book store, saw FALLEN ANGEL REBORN, featuring Illyria from ANGEL as a guest character.I instantly bought it, loved it, and wanted to know more.In the same store I saw FALLEN ANGEL OMNIBUS, which collected the first 21 episodes of the comic with IDW after David's comic was cancelled by DC.I loved that one, so I have now gone back to the DC collections.The plan is to finish the volumes in the DC run, and then read the volumes that come after the IDW OMNIBUS.After that, all I can do is hope that FALLEN ANGEL REBORN won't be the end of things.I suspect it won't be.

I found these stories somewhat surprising given what I read in later issues.For one thing, I was interested to discover that Lee's supernatural origins are not clearly spelled out.I mean, clearly she has supernatural abilities, but she her heavenly origins are only vaguely hinted at.I like that, however.I like that she starts off as a mystery and only gradually discloses her secrets.

I also enjoyed the stories in these first issues.They are restricted much more to Bete Noire than many of the stories in later episodes.But all in all they definitely make me want to continue with the series.

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent step forward for comics
Lee, the "Fallen Angel" of the title, represents an evolution in comic book characters, and in female characters as well. She brings a toughness not seen in almost any comic character, male or female, and comes off as real, flaws and all.

Peter David's "Fallen Angel" collects the first six issues of this excellent monthly series. The collection introduces you to the strange world of Bete' Noire, complete with many interesting characters and settings. There are several stories in this collection, but they all flow together to create the sense that you are visiting a real place, and a strange and interesting one at that.

Fallen Angel features drug dealers and cancer-stricken youth. It features likeable characters who may be monsters underneath, and monsters who may hide compassion and caring hearts. It features themes for the smart and mature reader, and situations and language to match. This is not for your six-year old, and not just because of swear words. Fallen Angel requires you to be able to understand concepts like loss, hatred, anger, and viciousness, and all of these from the supposed hero of the title.

Lee is not your typical comic heroine. She could kill you as soon as help you; she could torture you half to the edge of death rather than just ask for your help. You sympathize with her, because clearly she has suffered. But you would not hesitate to turn her in to the authorities if she crossed your path, because she will scare you.

Buy this collection. If you want to see how comics have progressed, or if you want to read a good story. This is far beyond the funny books of old, and it is more mature than the sadistic "mature readers" comics of recent days. It may be mature, but only because it has grown up. It is not mature for the cache of an "R" rating. It is mature because that is how the story goes. Lee's story is real, and it must be told, no matter how gritty the details.

4-0 out of 5 stars I Love It!
This collects the first issues of DC Comic's Fallen Angel, written by Peter David. This series is a joy to read and I'm so glad that they collected the first six issues here. Wether your a long time Peter David fan, a comic book fan, or just love a good story you can't go wrong with Fallen Angel.

4-0 out of 5 stars A refreshingly dark and different take on heroism.
In the humid, shadow-drenched city of Bete Noire, nothing is quite as it seems. By day, the city's so peaceful that it doesn't need a police force. By night... well, that's a whole different story.

If you're lost, or desperate, or just need help, you might just find yourself in Bete Noire in a bar called Furor's, sitting in a booth in the back, waiting for Lee, the hooded woman otherwise known as the Fallen Angel. If you tell your story well enough, and if she feels like it, maybe she'll agree to use her extraordinary abilities on your behalf.

But beware: you may not get the kind of help you were looking for.

Blending the seedy energy of '30s pulp novels, the creeping surrealism of David Lynch, and just a pinch of that good ol' superhero flavor, Peter David's "The Fallen Angel" is a comic series like few others. Prepare to have your expectations turned upside down: the heroine is a nihilistic jerk, frankly, while the criminals she matches wits with are frequently smart, brave, charming-- even compassionate. Do Lee's often alarming means of righting wrongs justify her more or less noble ends? That's just one of the uncomfortable questions David poses to readers in the course of her adventures.

Artists David Lopez and Fernando Blanco create a convincingly creepy atmosphere for Bete Noire, backing up David's enigmatic writing (and selling his occasionally punny jokes as well.) Though this is most definitely not for kids-- just wait until David starts bringing up the queasy connection between superhero violence and sexual excitement!-- it's an outstanding, challenging read, and one of the best ongoing series on the market.

4-0 out of 5 stars Walking in grey areas
This isn't your typical DC Comics book, and it isn't even a typical Peter David book. David, known for his many years as a writer for comic and SF franchises like the Hulk, Star Trek, Supergirl, and others gives us a much darker and personal story in these pages.
Though those familiar with David's past work may wonder if the yet to be revealed past of the Fallen Angel of the title has any shared history with his previous titles, the greater point of the book are the grey areas we all live in.
The main character inhabits a gritty, almost noirish reality of gangsters and mystical threats in a strange and fictional city that is well illustrated and brought to life by some stunning art by David Lopez, whose realistic and fluid art perfectly compliments Peter David's story.
It should be noted that the graphic novel, a collection of the DC comics series of the same name, is intended for mature readers and contains some language and depictions of violence, however, both writer and artist keep these factors within the bounds needed to tell the story and never become salacious in their use.
A well executed and criminally under read piece of graphic storytelling. It stradles the line between noir and horror and should have a wide range of appeal to those who like a cracking good story. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
This series of volumes represents a comprehensive and integrated treatment of reproduction in vertebrates from fishes of all sorts through mammals. It is designed to provide a readable, coordinated description of reproductive basics in each group of vertebrates as well as an introduction to the latest trends in reproductive research and our understanding of reproductive events. Whereas each chapter and each volume is intended to stand alone as a review of that topic or vertebrate group, respectively, the volumes are prepared so as to provide a thorough topical treatment across the vertebrates. Terminology has been standardized across the volumes to reduce confusion where multiple names exist in the literature, and a comprehensive glossary of these terms and their alternative names is provided.

* A complete, essential and up to date reference for research scientists working on vertebrate hormones and reproduction - and on animlals as models in human reproductive research.
* Covers the endocrinology, neuroendocrinology, physiology, behaviour and anatomy of vertebrate reproduction.
* Structured coverage of the major themes for all five vertebrate groups allows a consistent treatment for all.
* Special chapters elaborate on features specific to individual vertebrate groups and to comparative aspects, similarities and differences between them.

The Tohono O'odham of southern Arizona, formerly known as the Papago, have made a life in a place that many would consider uninhabitable.These desert people were converted to Catholicism by early Spanish missionaries, yet they retain much of their earlier lifeway as a means of continuing adaptation to their desert environment.This book is a restudy of speeches and ritual information collected by anthropologist Underhill beginning in 1931 and published in her book Papago Indian Religion (1946).It describes the Native--as opposed to the Christian--side of the yearly ritual cycle of the Tohono O'odham, showing how seven rites form a system of meanings that grew from the relation between these people and their desert homeland.The rites presented focus on the summer wine feast, salt pilgrimage, hunting, war, and flood. ...

Product Description

Christians living in the Roman empire during the first four centuries after Christ struggled with the extent to which they should recognize and accept imperial authority. In the fifth century A.D., Augustine of Hippo definitively enabled Christians to support Roman power directly by showing how the purpose of the state could be consistent with the purpose of Christianity. Christians could and should submit to the rule of Roman law and live within a society characterized by a plurality of religions.

But as David Lopez demonstrates in Separatist Christianity, the four centuries before Augustine witnessed a very different and far less nuanced doctrine. Through a close reading of canonical writings from the second and third centuries, he finds a Christianity that advocated a complete separation from the material and pagan Roman world. Incited by state persecution and cognizant of the fragility of their communities, church leaders and prominent Christian thinkers exhorted their followers to reject any accommodation with the Roman empire. To recognize imperial authority, they contended, would be to apostatize from the truth of Christianity.

Examining how ideas of martyrdom, apocalypse, and separation from the social and political world of Rome developed between the destruction of the Temple in 70 and Constantine's conversion in 312, Lopez finds a coherent and consistent anti-Roman sentiment in early Christianity. This radical agenda appears not only in the works by and about martyrs but also in the exegetical, disciplinary, and apologetic texts. By establishing the coherence and ubiquity of this separatist philosophy, Lopez offers a fresh new interpretation of the history of the early church.
