"There's going to be a new person in the Angelus role. Obviously it's a character that readers know already, I don't think that's giving away too much. This isn't going to be a completely unfamiliar character, and hopefully this is somebody that the readers will be interested in following in this role. This was always kind of a natural evolution of the storylines we've been doing in 'Witchblade.' There's an established trinity of characters in Witchblade, the Darkness and the Angelus, but the Angelus has always been the redheaded stepchild. It's always been more of a one-note villain for 'The Darkness' or for Sara in 'Witchblade.' We all really felt like this was the best chance we'd have at establishing the Angelus as a viable concept and character on her own. The character really should be on equal footing with 'The Darkness' and 'Witchblade.'"
"This is going to be a character who is new to the role of the Angelus, so the intent is to use this miniseries to explore exactly what the Angelus is, how it works. We want to flesh out not only the character who's taking on this role, but also the concept of the Angelus, just as much as the Darkness and the Witchblade have been fleshed out."As of now, "Angelus" is slated as a miniseries, though Marz said Top Cow would happily pursue it as an ongoing series if the demand calls for it. "
We didn't want to throw caution to the wind and say, 'Here's another monthly,'" Marz said.
"If the response and sales are there, we'd love nothing better than to make this an ongoing. But certainly the way that the market is in terms of new books, and in particular, new books that aren't from the Big Two, I think it makes a lot more sense to put it out there and test the waters. We'll see what we've got, then move forward with it."
"The Angelus will have a role in both 'Witchblade' and 'Darkness' going forward, though I don't want to say too much of what that role is because it gives some things away," Marz teased.
"We've always referred to Witchblade, the Darkness and the Angelus as the Trinity. From this point forward, we want all three sides of that triangle to be as strong, rather than having two strong sides and a weak sister."
