I DON'T EVEN CARE THIS IS AMAZING

I knew this would be too awesome to live because a deal's a deal, and nothing's for nothing. Hopefully, Angela, Sera, and Leah (and Thori) will continue their Nordic Shakespearean punk rock meta adventures in the future. I'd even be willing to strike a deal.

Pretty good, with the fantastic art and the awesome jokes (sometimes meta) making me give it an extra half star. 4.5/5

Simply loved this story, which is so simple yet affective. The characters are fun and polarise each other well, and Bennett shows that writing on her own allows her to fully express herself far better than when she works as part of a team.

My joy in reading about Angela's battle through Hel to save her love is tempered by my frustration with Sera breaking the fourth wall. She is not Deadpool! A fun read. I'll be ready for more Angela when they decide to break her out of storage again in the future.

Intellectual witty but scattered. I do enjoy the characters and the constant nods to pop and literary culture, but sometimes the jokes felt forced and the breaking of the 4th wall should be left to the deadpools of the world.

......Well......I barely know what the Hel happened. And why.But whether you know all about Marvel comics and its frustrating tie-ins, and Angela and her story, or not, or not very well, 'Angela: Queen of Hel: Journey to the Funderworld' is fucking epic.The first comic I read to feature Angela of Asgard is 'Angela: Asgard's Assassin, Volume 1: Priceless'. I didn't like it. It certainly didn't entice me to read any other titles starring Angela, who I thought was so wooden, careless, and soulless

Sera died, and is trapped as a slave to Hela alongside the rest of Heven's passed on souls. Angela wants her back, but the only way to do that is to dethrone Hela as the Queen of Hel... simple enough. But to do so Angela and Sera (and a new friend made along the way) will have to go through various trials. Challenging Hela for the throne of Hel is less about being strong enough- she is the goddess of death, and more of an entity or idea than an abstract level of power. But completing the trials

This was far better than I expected. I feel like Marvel has abandoned this character a bit after going through the effort of buying her from Neil Gaiman. The first arc has a very Greek mythology feel to it with Angela descending to Hel to do what it takes to free her love Sera. I love Sera's wise-cracking fourth-wall breaking nature. The last two issues are even more fun where they come to earth to be a happy Brooklyn family. The 7 year flash forward was so much fun. The only bad point was the v...

*update* I’ve interviewed artist Stephanie Hans! The interview can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/h7hj1n6Er8YWeird, beautiful, fun and exciting... did I mention weird?The first five issues are an epic Eurydice type tale. The respect for mythology and greek tragedy is palpable... which results in a really gorgeous dark odyssey into Hel. The last two issues... it just goes off the rails into a maelstrom of fourth wall breaches, meta jokes and pop cultural references. The surprising thing? It’s n...

The first five issues are fantastic, honestly some of the best work I've seen out of Bennett. For once, her storytelling ability matched her characterization. I was a total skeptic about Angela when she first came to the Marvel Universe, and she really didn't add much as part of the Guardians of the Galaxy. But in her own series, with Sera, she became her own, unique thing. The last two issues are, comparatively, a bit weak. The pop culture references, fun at first, became too frequent, too intr...

Witty banter + hilarious pop-culture references + really good art...Kinda makes me feel like...

I chanced upon this series in the most basic of spaces - a listicle. I went onto read Angela’s origin story and (admittedly badass) battles very grumpily, because none of them gave me the amazing queer content the listicle promised. But this one did. And how. In addition to the trademark art, the hilarious direct addresses to the reader and the amazing lead pair chemistry, it had multiple interesting plot lines, a cool dog (esque creature?) and so much cheesy romance. This is a sexualisation of

Once again: the best comics are gay Orpheus and Eurydice retellings with happy endings and that's the TRUTH.

A little... Orpheus and Eurydices.With a sick NORDIC DEATH METAL SOUNDTRACK!!! Read as individual issues.Far better than expected.This series went just better after losing Gillen as co-writer, a real shame it was canceled by Marvel because of the low sales.(view spoiler)[Loved the story, the art and all the meta-4th-panel-breaking jokes and references.Sera's first page recaps were just great!"Read more Gillen" and "Someone play the Final Fantasy victory theme.. These ones made me laug

[Read as single issues]Angela as a character was kind of mishandled when she first arrived in the Marvel Universe at the end of Age of Ultron. She floated around with the Guardians of the Galaxy for a bit, was brought into the Thor mythos during Original Sin, but then was left to her own devices until Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett got hold of her and worked their magic through a six issue ongoing series, a Secret Wars tie-in, and now (with Bennet taking the reins alone), her final series

SOOOOOO, I heard a lot about this comic and how wonderful it is and I outright bought it because of the whole "give me space lesbians or give me death" tweet will not leave me and lemme tell you...IT WAS FREAKING EPIC I LOVED EVERY PAGE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE STOP ME FROM BUYING EVERYTHING BENNETT HAS EVER WRITTEN ABOUT THESE TWO oooooooHHHHHH MMMMyyyy gOOOOOOOODDDDDDD*ahem*Angela: Queen of Hel is blatantly out of order in Angela and Sera's story together, so I had some catching up to do.

Queen of Hel was a decent, if not scattered read. The story picks up where Angela: Asgard’s Assassin left off; with Angela headed to Hel to free Sera. The story chronicles Angela’s ascent to the crown and the trials and tribulations that brings. The story is solid enough but does sort of loose some muster as it heads to the end. The art again is excellent with Stephanie Hans providing some truly beautiful cover art and interior pages. However I found that tonally the way certain characters were

Angela and Sera are wonderful characters, well-depicted here, and they're just strengthened when they're joined by Leah — though the question of which Leah is quite confusing since there's all kinds of foolishness about Secret Wars: Siege.Sadly, the plot doesn't hold up to the characters that Bennett inherited. Even with wacky storytelling, it feels like Bennett is punching above her weight class. Certainly, there are lots of nice references to all kinds of recent Angela, Loki, and Thor titles,

Angela is one of those characters that, ever since she has been introduced into the Marvel Universe, she has struggled to really find her place. And while this volume had cool moments, it further cements the separation between her and the rest of MCU. The main story is composed of a quest story, where Angela has to gather 3 items before confronting the boss, Hela. After reuniting with her main squeeze Sera, they go about and do exactly that. I did like this story but I did feel it dragged a bit....
