Fallen Angel: Reborn - Peter David & J.K. Woodward

A couple of months ago I read the first of the IDK Fallen Angel omnibuses (or should that be omnibi?). It was a competent but unremarkable read concerning the guardian angel of a city called Bete Noire, which apparently is a mirror to the world. Whatever happens in the city is reflected in the real world. The angel was a fairly typical angsty superheroine and the books tracked her travails against the hierarchy that ran the place.

This new book is obviously from much later in the run and is an excuse for a pointless crossover with a character from the Angel (as in Buffy) comic.

I can't really be bothered to go into the 'plot' but suffice it to say there were too many be-tentacled gods and way too many Lovecraft style apostrophe riddled names. In all it was p'rett'y mu'ch c'om'ple'te shi't. '
