incredibly entertaining but forgettable //: wish it were an ongoing.
Better than I thought it would be. Some of it follows on from what Gillen was doing in Thor. But the Bennett and Hans 'sub-stories' seem really forced, and are too prosey and break the book up too much. They look good, I just don't think they fit in too well
After reading the badass intro, I expected something really cool - a heroine torn between two identities, families and beliefs. But all I got was a family drama - meh. The art was OK, but I wasn't really a fan. So yeah, a bit disappointing.
2.5I was really excited to read this when I saw the original promos because they had a definite Xena: Warrior Princess vibe to them and yay gay couples and yay trans rep in mainstream comics.The end result, though, is a confusing mess of flashbacks and art was all over the place. In some issues characters' faces looked elderly or overweight. Even after the Gillen fleshes Angela out with a unique moral code and makes Sera instantly endearing(Maximim Clops!) some amazingly shitty last-issue twists...
An Angela figurine sits on my bookshelf since the days when I used to collect just about everything Image. I never cared for the Spawn comics that Angela spawned from, but I did read her miniseries and was very excited to learn that she'd become a part of the Marvel universe. I did not read her introduction via the Guardians of the Galaxy, but that group does play a part here and reveals a slightly less steely but no less deadly side to Angela, injecting just the right amount of humour into an o...
While this had more twists and turns in the plot than Angela: Queen of Hel: Journey to the Funderworld did, I enjoyed the latter quite a bit more. Maybe it has to do with Sera (view spoiler)[actually being Malekith and not ACTUALLY Sera (hide spoiler)] or maybe I just like Marguerite Bennett's work on the character better than Kieron Gillen's. Either way, this was beautifully drawn and very entertaining.The team-up with the Guardians and the inclusion of Odinson and Loki were also nice touches.
I've been waiting for somebody to tell me why the Hell Marvel wanted to buy the rights to a character from the bad old days of Image...... having now read this book, I still can't see one good reason.Apologies for the short review; I've been up all night looking after a very poorly cat. :-(
Loved the art. Otherwise.. meh.
4.5*This was SO GOOD! Angela is such an interesting character and I loved the appearances of Thor, Loki, and the Guardians of the Galaxy!
This was fine.
This was a good read with interesting takes on characters I know and characters that were new for me. I plan to read more about Angela, Aldrif Odinsdottir.
Pros: - Very good introduction to Angela, Thor and Loki's long-lost sister- Another awesome female character- Loaded with information on the other realms in the Marvel Universe- Good ending that leads to likely interesting sequels- Guardians of the Galaxy crossover! Cons: - The artwork wasn't bad, but I didn't really like it that much. Some people probably love it, so I guess that's just me.- I've never found Thor a compelling character (but it's worth noting that this takes place after he lose
Okay, this is the fastest I've read something since I started Invincible Iron Man. I'm finished??? That's it? [Tom Haverford voice] Noooooooooo. I really loved this! I'm not usually a fan of Asgardian stories. Something about them just doesn't interest me but Angela. I love Angela! This was so entertaining and I actually liked the scrolls and Asgardian way of telling tales. Angela is such an interesting character and I really felt for her. Admittedly, I'm a sucker for characters that are largely...
Pretty fun book about a character I know little about interacting with Thor and the Guardians of the Galaxy, which I also know little about. It set up who Angela is pretty well and I appreciate the trans rep. I guess I gotta go read Spawn to see if Angela's trans gf is from that series or not.
Um. This was actually quite good. I went in expecting basically nothing. In fact, I only read it because I saw that Kieron Gillen was writing, and if you put him on something Asgardian (or Asgardian adjacent), I will definitely read it. That it was actually good was a pleasant surprise.There is a lot of exposition, all over the place. Maybe too much. But there is a lot to be explained. I don't know if this version of Angela and Heven is much like the previous, pre-Marvel version. I never read Sp...
Nothing to see here. Move along.
Angela stole a baby.She has her reasons, but she stole a baby nonetheless. The baby's father sent his son to recover her.I'm not sure what Angela did to justify her own title. Yeah she's Aldrif the stolen daughter of Odin and Frigga that no one knew was stolen until Original Sin, but there are a lot of Asgardians and few of them deserve their own title. I'd rather read about Thor's friends the Warriors Three and Lady Sif.Asgard's Assassin just like every part of Angela revolves around the fact t...
I really like this book. My first encounter with Angela was reading issue #1 of this series. It was the artwork that drew my attention (that and my weakness for redheads). I didn't know who Angela was, or what this would be about, but put Norse mythology and warrior women together and I definitely wanted to find out.Angela is stoic and hard to read. Her motives are a bit of a mystery, and she isn't much for talking... about anything, really. But her silence is fascinating. And at least she seems...
Yay more of Angela. I loved her in Guardians and I loved her even more in this awesome comic. I liked that you got to see her with Thor and Loki and Odin.
For my full interview with Kieron Gillen, follow this link: https://youtu.be/np9kcC1ruWU*update* I’ve also interviewed artist Stephanie Hans! The interview can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/h7hj1n6Er8Y****second read****I liked it better the second time and bumped it up to 4.Stephanie Hans and Phil Jimenez are amazing artists and their work makes this truly a joy to look at. The story made a teensy bit more sense this time, especially after having read Thor & Loki Original Sin and the Gillen/...
