The strange journey of Angela into the Marvel Universe takes a new twist with a brand new Marvel series this week.

The character co-created by Neil Gaiman first appeared as an enemy of Spawn in the Image Comics Universe.

In the Age of Ultron the war angel was brought into the Marvel Universe and hooked up with the Guardians of the Galaxy.

In Original Sin and The Tenth Realm it reveal she’s Aldrif Odinsdottir the daughter of Odin. Angela was raised by angels after Asgard’s war with Heaven.

Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #1 by writers Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett and artists Stephanie Hans and Phil Jimenez – continues her story and new role.

Gillen calls her an “Asgardian Black Widow” and tells Marvel.com, “It’s recently known that she’s Thor’s sister, who was lost during an ancient war between the Angels, who are the people who raised her, and Asgard, who are the people who the Asgardians come from. And now that Angela’s being revealed to be the daughter of Odin and she’s been ostracized by her own people, the Angels, who completely despise the Asgardians and she also still hates the Asgardians so she’s kind of like a girl without a home. There’s a lot Ronin to her, a lot of Lone Cowboy when we meet her.”

 

Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #1 arrives Wednesday.
