The Fallen Angle Battles Shi, and Jude Battles His Own Grief, July 25 2009
By Pat Shand "Pat Shand" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fallen Angel Volume 4 (Paperback)
This book, the fourth volume of Peter David's epic Fallen Angel series, collects issues #17-21.The first part of the book is a three issue arc that features the Fallen Angel clashing with, and then fighting alongside of, Shi. For those unfamiliar with Shi (not gonna lie, before this, I sure as hell was), she is a Japanese American warrior woman who is as complex as she is scantily clad. One thing I was wary about going into this arc was the look of Shi, who does show a lot of skin; I'm not at all a prude, but I prefer my comic book characters to show more depth, and if they're short on clothing, there damn well better be a reason... and in this case, there is. Peter David doesn't disappoint with this arc, which take the Fallen Angel out of familiar territory and into... well, you'll find out. If you read the first three volumes, you know Peter David never confines himself to one main location or one main type of story, so familar readers won't miss a beat.
After the Shi story concludes, we've got two standalone stories that focus more or less on Jude. The first one tells the story by showing Jude's actions in relation to the various stages of grief. It's a great character piece that delves into his troubled mind state. He's trying to balance all of his new duties with his sense of purpose, and all the evil that he's surrounded by--and now confined to--has got his questioning his purpose... and his priesthood. It's wonderfully written, and a great example of why Peter David is more than just a great comic or fantasy writer. He writes from character, and with a cast this strong, he really can't go wrong.
The book ends with another Jude centric one-shot, but this one wasn't nearly as strong as the previous chapter. In this one, Jude tests the idea that his actions in Bete Noire influence the outer world. It's a great concept, but the execution is a bit off. Either way, the slightly less interesting concluding issue doesn't take much away from this book. It's a worthwhile addition into this great series.
