She sent shockwaves through the Ten Realms. She conquered Hel. She waged war across the cosmos. Now, Heven's deadliest warrior brings her legendary hunt to Earth in an explosive new ongoing series.
Launching in February, Angela is written by acclaimed creator Wes Craig (Deadly Class) in his Marvel Comics writing debut, and illustrated by Pere Pérez (Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity). The series begins when a mysterious demon outbreak turns Earth into Angela's new hunting ground, where the divine hero finds unexpected new allies and fresh purpose in adventures unlike any she's faced before.
Since making her Marvel Universe debut in 2014 as Thor's secret half-sister, Angela has earned a fierce reputation with critically acclaimed solo series, battles alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, and more.
Last year, Angela joined the hit game Marvel Rivals, introducing the comic book character to a whole new legion of fans. Now, she unleashes her fury in "an all-new chapter that reminds her enemies and readers alike why she’s the most dangerous woman in the Marvel Universe."
Here's the official description for Angela #1:
DON’T MESS WITH THE ANGEL OF DEATH!
Demons are running amok in New York City, and a new demon hunter has been assigned by Heven to hunt and destroy them — ANGELA. Are things not what they seem? What does the demon lord Abraxis want with the Big Apple? Why is Heven so concerned with Earth? Angela doesn’t really care but plans to wet her blade with evil blood.
"Writing my first Marvel series has been very cool," Craig enthused. "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?"
Pérez added, "I'm having a crazy amount of fun drawing this series. 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," the artist teased. "This book is going to make you feel as if a heavy metal song is blasting in your brain!"
