Angela is returning to the spotlight in February 2027, and she’s bringing her swords to New York City. Marvel Comics has announced a new ongoing Angela series written by Wes Craig (Deadly Class, Kaya) and illustrated by Pere Pérez (Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity, Amazing Spider-Man: Torn).
The series marks Craig’s Marvel Comics writing debut and sends the warrior from Heven on a new mission as a mysterious demon outbreak threatens Earth. With New York City overrun by supernatural threats, Angela has been assigned to eliminate the infestation, although the reasons behind Heven’s sudden interest in Earth may be more complicated than they initially appear.
It’s a welcome return for a character who has spent much of her Marvel history operating on a cosmic scale. Angela has conquered Hel, battled across the Ten Realms, and fought alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, she’s bringing that same ruthless approach to the streets of Manhattan.
“Is Angela Thor’s sister? Yes. Was she a Guardian of the Galaxy? Yes. Does she care about either of those? Hel no!” editor Nick Lowe said. “Angela’s focused on her new assignment from Heven—rid New York City of the epidemic of demons currently plaguing it and you get to read all about it in her new ongoing series!”
The new series will introduce the demon lord Abraxis, whose interest in New York raises questions about the outbreak and Heven’s involvement. Angela, however, is less concerned with unraveling the larger mystery than she is with putting her weapons to work.
Craig, whose creator-owned work has demonstrated a knack for character-driven action and elaborate fantasy worlds, says Angela’s seemingly unbreakable personality is central to the story.
“Writing my first Marvel series has been very cool. It’s such a fun world to play in,” Craig said. “Angela’s an old school warrior. Stoic, no-nonsense, she doesn’t suffer fools, doesn’t have time for BS, and she’s tough as nails. I love that kind of character. But that also makes her an interesting challenge: What would make someone like that show us her heart? And is there anything that would make her break? Over the next year, we’re gonna find out…”
That suggests the series will dig into Angela’s personality beyond her reputation as one of Marvel’s most formidable fighters. For a character who tends to approach problems with a blade, finding something capable of challenging her emotionally could be just as interesting as the monsters she’ll face.
Pérez, meanwhile, has a personal connection to the character dating back to her earliest comic book appearances.
“I’m having a crazy amount of fun drawing this series,” Pérez said. “Wes and I are totally on the same page with the creative choices for Angela, and he is writing a very fun and layered story.”
“One of the very first comics I bought with my own money was the original Angela miniseries from the ’90s, so being able to add my own twists to her design has been very exciting,” he continued. “I love drawing monsters and demons, and I’ve been wanting to draw fight scenes involving weapons like… swords, axes, spears and medieval stuff, so expect some crazy action! This book is going to make you feel as if a heavy metal song is blasting in your brain!”
Angela made her Marvel Universe debut in 2014, when she was introduced as Thor’s secret half-sister. Since then, she’s starred in solo adventures and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, establishing herself as a particularly dangerous presence in Marvel’s cosmic mythology. More recently, her inclusion in Marvel Rivals introduced the character to a wider gaming audience.
The timing makes sense for a new ongoing series, especially with a creative team that appears well suited to the character’s combination of fantasy violence and larger-than-life mythology. Craig’s interest in exploring Angela’s emotional limits also offers a promising direction for a warrior whose defining characteristic has often been her ability to overcome just about anything.
Marvel has also revealed the main cover by Kaare Andrews and a variant cover by Pérez, offering a first look at the character’s latest incarnation.
Angela #1 arrives in February 2027. Marvel says an advance preview of the debut issue will be released in the coming weeks.
