The war for Bete Noire is over... and it has not ended the way that anyone would have thought. Now the Fallen Angel and the few survivors must deal with the aftermath and try to find a way - presuming there is any at all - to set matters right. And there might just be, but Liandra, Jude, and Black Mariah are going to have to leave Bete Noir to find the City of Light! In their absence, as the city that shapes the world slips closer and closer into civil war, can the rest of the world be far behind? The long-running Fallen Angel series continues in this collection of issues #27-32 of Fallen Angel, courtesy of New York Times best-selling author Peter David and artist J.K. Woodward!

A (Temporary) End to an Epic,
By
This review is from: Fallen Angel, Volume 6: Cities of Light and Dark (v. 6) (Paperback)
And here we are, at the climax of FALLEN ANGEL. This volume concludes not only the Moloch arc that began in the previous volume, but also wraps up FALLEN ANGEL as an on-going series. The series eventually continues with the Reborn miniseries, which guest stars Joss Whedon's Illyria, but knowing that this book concludes with #33 and that there won't be a #34... well, in a large way, it's the end of something big.
It's epic, gives all of the characters the time they deserve, wraps up all the main character and story arcs from the series, and introduces a new status quo for Bete Noire for when Peter David eventually continues the book. There is a fair share of triumph and tragedy, and Liandra even gets to talk to someone we've been waiting to see her talk to for more issues than I can count. I'm being vague, I know, but just trust that Peter David definitely gives his epic series a satisfactory ending. It doesn't quite match the level of tension of the fifth volume and it definitely spends too much time watching Jude, Liandra, and Black Mariah bickering, but when it does get to the meat and potatoes, the pay off is pretty cool. What I would have liked is either an extended last chapter or an epilogue. The denouement and, to a much lesser extent, the final battle between the folks of Bete Noire and Moloch, seem a bit rushed. It's still really exciting stuff and the action and character moments are shocking, tense, and... well, great, but I feel like they also needed more room to breathe. Overall, very good writing from Peter David, and very good art from longtime Fallen Angel artist J. K. Woodward. While the main arc of the series is over for now, readers should also be sure to follow the series FALLEN ANGEL: REBORN. David's writing continues to rock and Woodward's art is better than ever. 8/10
