Finally, the complete DC Fallen Angel..., July 18 2010

This review is from: Fallen Angel Omnibus Volume 0 (Paperback)
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.).

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.

This is where it all begins...., Oct 26 2010
By J. Reynolds - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fallen Angel Omnibus Volume 0 (Paperback)
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.
