![]() ![]() ![]() Despite Angela being revealed as Thor’s sister, neither character has held any level of prominence within the Marvel Universe and has largely faded into the background following their final outing in Angela: Queen of Hel. The pair didn’t hold a comic series (with Marvel Comics at least Angela’s history is long and complicated and not relevant to this piece) until 2014’s Angela: Asgard’s Assassin. If you don’t know who Angela and Sera are, well, that’s not that surprising. ![]() The love, passion, and sheer level of craft put into Angela and Sera’s tale by Kieron Gillen, Marguerite Bennett, Stephanie Hans, and more artistic partners is something that hits me in my core in a way few comics have ever managed, and that deserves to be celebrated.Īngela: Queen of Hel #2 – Bennett, Jacinto, Silva, Cowles – Marvel Comics, 2015 ![]() Angela, and, especially, Sera are more than just factoids to me, stories to recount and complaints to hurl at their publisher. The fact that I could sum it up in that sentence is why I decided to scrap it and start fresh. The first version of this was a perfectly serviceable summary of Angela, Sera, and their journey together from lovers to Queens over three volumes of series they share and how Marvel Comics utterly dropped the ball with one of the most exciting and bold queer storylines in the company’s history after their cancellation. This is the second time I’ve written this piece. ![]()
