Angela: Asgard’s
Assassin
begins as she kidnaps the heir of Asgard and travels to Limbo We get a brief
story about her background in the introduction and her actions within the story
of how she settles her debts. For a new character to launch her own series this
was a poor attempt to create interest as some of the issues were not addressed.
It would have been nice to see things from her point of view instead of someone
else narrating her story.
The second issue of Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #2 begins as the backstory of how Angela stole her sister from her parents. She escapes to Midgard where we learn Angela is a dealmaker and keeps the rules of Heven. She kidnapped her own sister to bring to the Angels of Heven as payment for what she owes them. As Thor and the other Asgardians are in pursuit, Angela heads to the world of the Dark Elves to find the solution to stop their pursuit. This is a much better story than the first issue as it explains more about Angela’s intentions for the kidnapping.
Angela: Asgard’s Assassin #3 finds herself on the run with her baby sister from Odinson and the other Asgardians. She travels to Vanaheim where they discover the ruins of a temple where marriages to place. Sera tells Angela to go beneath the temple to find an armored wedding dress that only the pure of heart could wear. She later hooks up with the Guardians of the Galaxy as Odinson and Loki travel to Hel to ask their Queen Hela for help. She dispatches hunters to track down Angela and Odinson asks he needs her alive however without the use of her legs.
