ANGELA arrives! Neil Gaiman brings the warrior angel from the Spawn mythos into the Marvel Now. Angela makes her debut in Age of Ultron #10 today and her story will continue in Guardians of the Galaxy #5 by Gaiman and Brian Michael Bendis. Joe Quesada redesigned the iconic character for her Marvel debut. How will Angela affect the Marvel Universe and who will encounter her after the Guardians?
Here are 3 Marvel heroes who should be on the top of Angela’s Marvel dance card:
Doctor Strange: Please let this warrior angel go on a journey to hell and back with the Master of the Mystic Arts! These two characters were born to fight, bicker, flirt and wield some dark magic together! When I think of Stephen Strange and Angela I imagine a tale like Nightcrawler’s Inferno way back in the X-Men Annual inspired by Dante’s Inferno. My mind also goes to the Avengers epic with Morgan LeFay by Kurt Busiek and George Perez.
Thor: Please let Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic must be get the opportunity to unleash Angela on the God of Thunder, Hela, Enchantress, Fafnir – the mystic story possibilities are endless.
Iron Fist: The Immortal Weapon of Agamotto and Angela fight for the fate of Kun Lun? Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction and then Bendis brilliantly expanded Danny Rand’s powers and the mythology of the Iron Fist weaving it into the Marvel Universe. I could envision Angela helping Danny on a new spirit quest.
Will Gaiman and Bendis be the only masters of Angela’s future in the Marvel Universe? As we eagerly await her impact I can only hope Angela will infuse Marvel’s mystical heroes, villains and realms with new excitement and drama.
