The Greatest Bounty Hunter Of The Ten Realms Returns In Marvel’s New ‘Angela’ Ongoing
by Tony Thornley
She’s Thor’s sister. She’s a former Guardian of the Galaxy. She’s even a breakout video game star. But none of that matters because she’s one of the toughest warriors in existence and fans will see what that means in February with Angela #1.
The new ongoing series will see Angela — one of Heven’s greatest angels and one of Asgard’s boldest warriors — sent to Midgard to stop a demon outbreak in New York City. The series teams superstar creator Wes Craig (in his Marvel Comics writing debut) and artist Pere Perez in Angela’s first series in nearly a decade.
Demons are causing chaos in New York City, and a new demon hunter has been assigned by Heven to bring them to heel: Angela. Are things not what they appear? What does the demon lord Abraxis want with the Big Apple? Why is Heven so concerned with Earth? Angela doesn’t really care as long as she gets to bathe in demon blood.
“Writing my first Marvel series has been very cool. It’s such a fun world to play in,” Craig shared. “Angela’s an old school warrior. Stoic, no-nonsense, she doesn’t suffer fools, doesn’t have time for BS, and she’s tough as nails. I love that kind of character. But that also makes her an interesting challenge: What would make someone like that show us her heart? And is there anything that would make her break? Over the next year, we’re gonna find out…”
“I’m having a crazy amount of fun drawing this series,” Pérez added. “Wes and I are totally on the same page with the creative choices for Angela, and he is writing a very fun and layered story. One of the very first comics I bought with my own money was the original Angela miniseries from the ‘90s, so being able to add my own twists to her design has been very exciting. I love drawing monsters and demons, and I’ve been wanting to draw fight scenes involving weapons like … swords, axes, spears and medieval stuff, so expect some crazy action! This book is going to make you feel as if a heavy metal song is blasting in your brain!”
Check out the first two revealed covers by Kaare Andrews and Perez and watch for Angela #1 in February from Marvel Comics.
