Angela Returns As Asgard's Assassin

Article Image 2ad1The mystical realm of Asgard has been rocked by the revelations of Original Sin — Thor Odinsson is no longer worthy to wield the enchanted hammer Mjolnir, a new and mysterious wielder carries the hammer as the new Thor, a tenth realm amongst the Nine Worlds has been revealed, and one of the greatest warriors of that tenth realm, Heven, is none other than Odin's daughter and Thor's sister — Angela!

Spinning out of the pages of Guardians of the Galaxy and Original Sin, Angela graduates to a new ongoing series and embraces a new role in Angela: Asgard's Assassin (OCT140809)!

Angela had been trained from her infancy to be the finest warrior of Heven, believing herself to be Hevenborn and Asgard's implacable enemy. But with the truth of her origins revealed in Original Sin, she has been cast from the realm that was her home and all she has known.  Left to her own devices and struggling with the truth of her own identity, she must forge her own path. Unwanted by Heven and wanting nothing to do with Asgard, Angela soon discovers that, as an unaffiliated player on the cosmic stage, her unique talents for the hunt and the kill will be sought after and put to use quite unofficially!

Kieron Gillen returns to the cosmic realm of Asgard with cowriter Marguerite Bennett and artists Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans for Angela: Asgard's Assassin.  Gillen and Bennett chronicle the development of a troubled character as she finds her place in the Marvel Universe, discovers the characters fans have known for years and sees them through new eyes, and comes to grips with her heritage. Jimenez and Hans split the art duties, with Jimenez illustrating Angela in the world of reality and Hans illustrating Angela in the world of myth. The result is a comic that is both grounded and mythic, making Angela: Asgard's Assassin one of the most unique super-hero comics on the market!

Angela's journey of self-discovery through the Marvel Universe begins this December in Angela: Asgard's Assassin!
