She’s deadly. She’s dangerous. And she’s getting her own solo series this December! Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look at ANGELA: ASGARD’S ASSASSIN #1, the explosive new ongoing series debuting this December! Launching as part of Avengers NOW!,the star-studded creative team of Kieron Gillen, Marguerite Bennett, Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans will show you a side of Angela you’ve never seen before, as she cuts a bloody path across the new and unfamiliar Marvel Universe!

The finest warrior in the Tenth Realm, she has been raised to hate Asgard with every fiber of her being. Training, preparing and waiting for the day when the war between Asgard and Heven would begin again. But following the events of Original Sin: Thor & Loki –The Tenth Realm, she must confront her true lineage. She is Odin’s daughter. Thor’s sister. Asgardian

Now, cast out from the Tenth Realm and wanting nothing to do with Asgard, she will strike out on her own and forge a new path. What does she want? A clean slate. And she will destroy any who try to take it from her. But what does she have that both Asgard and Heven want? And what are they willing to do to take it from her?

“The story is Angela is basically on the run,” says Kieron Gillen in an interview with Marvel.com. “It gives her a chance to interact with a lot of different people so by the end of the first arc we really get a sense of who Angela is vis-à-vis the Marvel Universe. You get a sense of who she is and where she fits into the larger picture.”

As the Marvel Universe’s newest star prepares to make her solo debut, no fan can afford to miss the bombastic adventures of the angelic warrior when ANGELA: ASGARD’S ASSASSIN #1explodes into comic shops and digital devices this December!

The art and panel layouts look great. Not really a series I am interested in though. Might pick up the first tpb when it comes out if the reviews are solid, but I don't plan on following it month to month.

Hey since Angela's a part of Marvel now because of Neil Gaiman, does that mean if he leaves Marvel she leaves with him? I'm a little confused on how it all works.

The Stephanie Hans art is fantastic. Phil Jimenez did great too, but the colors in Hans' work is fantastic. I'm getting the solely because of how much I love Hans' work.

can breathe a sigh of relief cause that is some HOT and BEAUTIFUL interior art. that is why Phil is my favorite comic artist. this hans guy is new to me but love his cover. EPIC!!!!! i feel i might have another mystique series on my hand. may not last long but will be great and i will read over and over for years to COME! and love that they are incorporating her ribbons into the title. could come off cutesy but has edge. see marvel, why couldnt you do my girl squirrel girl the same kind of justice?

Since i first heard about this title I've been eager to read it and it looks like I won't be disappointed! It looks so pretty and the fights look great from what we see here.

I have similar feelings about this as others have expressed. That artwork looks fantastic but this is not a book I care about if I'm being honest.

I'm scared to read this because it has Kieron Gillen writing it, and all of his work is amazing but also really sad and heartbreaking and I'm not sure if I can handle another JiM 645.

I wish they did added her into the Marvel Universe but not incorporate anything to do with Thor. Just as Hercules, or Wonder Woman in DC, are based on & use Greek Mythology, & Thor uses Norse myths, just have Angela show up & incorporate biblical mythology.

This looks amazing.

I agree man, much better than I expected. And with Gillen at the helm, I have really high hopes! After dropping Thor, I hope this book will give me my Asgard fix for the forseeable future!!

Looks like Marvel's getting yet another strong female character book up on the shelves. Awesome stuff to see, I hope this is paying off for them not only in the public eye, but in sales as well.

Wasn't the whole thing about her in Spawn was that she was an Angel? So now she's not one. So what's the hook now? Why not just use an existing Norse badazz woman with a sword? Is it the costume? Color me confused.

Love that Skottie Young variant!

Probably not going to pick this up though, I really enjoy Jimenez's art but I just don't dig the idea of bringing a character from another company into the Marvel Universe, and the miniseries didn't do much to sway my opinion.

@mikegrier: It worked pretty well Deadpool though he wasn't an exact port from DC.

The art certainly looks pretty. Might buy the first few issues just too se where the story is leading.

I figure that "angelic warrior woman" is a step away from "Asgardian Valkyrie" due to the Valkyrie's role and powers, anyway, so it works out.

I agree that its now close enough that she could be mistaken for one of Thor's minor characters of old. This does not make it okay. This makes it superfluous.
