Welcome to Bete Noire, the City that Shapes the World. If by some misfortune you have stumbled in here, please take note of your surroundings. For drugs, please visit Asia Minor at the graveyard. If sex is what you're interested in, Bumper Ruggs has people of all orientations and proclivities. If a man called Benny offers to help you, do not accept. If spiritual enlightenment is your goal, seek elsewhere; there is only one church in Bete Noire, and it's usually empty. If you're helpless and hopeless, make your way to Furor's, where you may be able to get some help.
Written by [[Peter David]], ''[[Fallen Angel (comics)|Fallen Angel]]'' tells the story of Liandra (a.k.a. Lee, a.k.a. the Fallen Angel of the title), a guardian angel exiled from heaven for disobeying God. Now the self-appointed "court of last resort"
''Fallen Angel'' is also the story of Bete Noire. An innocuous city by day, by night the City of Sin comes alive, deciding who lives and who dies, and who will be able to enter and leave. It is run by its Magistrate, a position which is itself under the supervision of the Hierarchy, a mysterious organization of unknown aims.
Line 34 ⟶ 32:
Initially, a good bit of speculation surrounded Liandra's identity; given her powers and appearance, many people surmised that Liandra was in reality Linda Danvers, who was [[Supergirl]] during a volume penned by David. David did his best to maintain the answer ambiguous until he revealed her origins at the beginning of volume 2.
