There are two story arcs here. The first really dives into the soap opera of Bette Noire, and that's refreshing for me, because its the main thing I want from a character driven book like this one. It has to do with Jude adjusting to his roll as the new Magistrate of the city and mistakes, and ultimately compromises he makes. Unfortunately, that grimacing "Me so sorry!" yellow stereotype, "Asia Minor" figures prominently in this one. Woodward's art is still strong, but starting to slip a bit.
In the second arc a mental patient's lines of reality are blurred as she slips int hallucinations of Bette Noire, but which is the real world? Could the whole series so far take place in the delusions of a schizophrenic? As the answers are revealed a fill in artist takes over illustration chores, and the art is quite poor. The story however reveals some Bette Noire history. Introduces a villain from the past who will pop up in the future, and tells us a few things about Doctor Juris.
A strong entry in the series, brought down a bit by bad fill-in art and the offensive "Asia Minor" character.

This arc was pretty boring. I have already forgotten what it was about, and I finished it like an hour ago. Still, it wasn't bad, it was just average.

A nice look back at an earlier protector of the city.
