Marvel Sends Angela Hunting Demons Through New York in New Ongoing Series

Marvel is giving Angela her own book again, and this time the former Asgardian warrior angel is hunting demons on the streets of New York. Angela #1 lands February 10, with Deadly Class and Kaya creator Wes Craig making his Marvel writing debut alongside artist Pere Pérez, who previously drew Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity and Amazing Spider-Man: Torn.

The series opens with Angela dispatched from Heven to clear out a demon outbreak in the city, only to find the trouble traces back to a demon lord named Abraxis with his own designs on her home realm. It's a return to street-level stakes for a character who's spent the last decade bouncing between the Ten Realms, the Guardians of the Galaxy, and a turn in Marvel Rivals since her 2014 debut as Thor's half-sister.

Craig has described Angela as a stoic warrior whose cracks are what the series is really chasing, while Pérez - who says one of his first-ever comic purchases was Angela's 1990s miniseries - gets to put his own stamp on a character he's clearly been wanting to draw for years. The debut issue ships with six covers, including a main by Kaare Andrews and variants from Mark Brooks, Alexander Lozano, and the creative team themselves.

Marvel says an advance preview of Angela #1 will drop in the coming weeks.
