(Of course, the signs are pointing to that when Angela says that Sera and the baby get Star Lord’s room.) I hope that this means their close relationship is actually a romantic relationship, and not just some bullshit semi-lesbian relationship. However, finally, we have some actual character development for both Angela and Sera. Wasn’t sure that I was going to continue to read this book after the last issue. We also still don’t know why Angela stole the baby, and if it was a deal with the Queen of Angels, what did she promise Angela in return?Īngela: Asgard’s Assassin #3 by Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett However, Thor just hanging around shirtless, attending the celebration of the birth of his baby sister, is just silly.

I mean, he could’ve ripped it at some point. I can be okay with Thor being shirtless in the fight. And with Sera telling Angela’s story - I guess I can be grateful that Sera’s a woman - we aren’t learning much about Sera either except that she’s dead and stolen from hell. Somehow I don’t think that Angela’s going to care about coming back for that red ball. Unfortunately, Angela is still rather two dimensional, and again, we were explained the Angel code. I’m hoping they’ll fill us in more about this baby next issue.Īngela: Asgard’s Assassin #2 by Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett The reminders of Angela’s angel code were a little much. Which helps remind the reader that Angela is an angel, even if Heven is just another dimension. As much as Jimenez is fun on any warrior woman book, Hans’ art took a lovely ethereal spin. The sidestory about Angela finding the baby, who would grow up to be king, and then killing him to repay his debt when he would not hand over Sera to her, was my favorite part of this book. I do like the random ticker tape tails though they’re going to have to figure out where they come from. I mean, clearly, she’s a very skilled warrior, but you’d think she’d want some protection from her clothing. Giving the woman her own book should at least give her a wardrobe change. Which is barely a bikini and a giant seemingly useless belt. My biggest beef with this book is Angela’s costume.

I can’t help but wonder if we weren’t supposed to already know a lot about Angela as we’re all reading those other books, right? (Not.) Or perhaps just a while to give us the full picture.
