I did enjoy this while reading, although there is no denying that the storyline gets a little repetitive at times. I think the phrase, or similar ones, of 'if my son is harmed because of you' gets thrown around too often. Theres a whole lot of whining from the characters, mostly about the same thing, and it can be hard to see how they have realistically managed to stay on their own two feet for so long.

Despite that, it was an entertaining read. The artwork was lovely, despite changing with the different stories, and the side characters were interesting. Perhaps more so than the main characters.

Overall a highly enjoyable continuation of the Fallen Angel world. Usually crossover comics bore me, but the Illyria story was interesting and enjoyable.

Having read the later miniseries before acquiring the ombnibus, I have to admit that originally reading the Illyria crossover gave me a lot of questions about who people were in this universe. Going straight through this omnibus was a more enjoyable experience. There are a ton of characters but Peter David is used to work with large casts from comics, tv, novels, et al.

The artwork is amazing to see how it evolved. Earlier pages with more "cartoony" anatomy quickly streamline into elegant modern Renaissance work. The coloring also evolved and gets better so it's less "digital" looking.

Hopefully there will be much more of this from the same creative team.

Best of the Fallen Angel books that I've read, biblical in scope and ambition. Art's uneven and coloring is murky, and the book physically fell apart as I read it - not sure if that's a binding problem or an abused-by-previous-library-patrons problem.
