Yesterday, Bleeding Cool checked out Marvel Executive Editor/Senior Vice President of Publishing and Marvel’s longest-standing worker Tom Brevoort‘s feedback on what occurs when a comic book ebook writer buys in different comedian ebook publishers’ characters. And he talked about Angela, saying “At Marvel, we’ve done less of this kind of character-absorption. I’d say that Daredevil worked out pretty well, even if the character was completely reinvented. And Ghost Rider was made to work once he left the old west and was recreated in the present day. I don’t think we’ve quite found the answer to what to do with Angela yet, though—removed from her connection to the SPAWN mythos, there’s not all that much to her, and our attempts to cement her into Thor’s family tree haven’t entirely taken off the way we might have hoped.”
When Neil Gaiman sued Todd McFarlane over the possession of Angela, Cogliostro and Medieval Spawn, characters he had co-created with Todd McFarlane, he left proudly owning Angela outright, Spawn’s heavenly opponent as an angelic bounty hunter, and surrendering the others to Todd as a part of a deal, in addition to no matter rights and art work to Miracleman that Todd owned. He then bought Angela to Marvel Comics. Introduced into the Marvel Universe, Angela turned a Guardian Of The Galaxy, earlier than it’s revealed that within the Marvel Universe, she is Aldrif, the daughter of Odin and Freyja, making her sister to Thor and Loki. A storyline used for Thor Ragnarok, however for a special character. She was additionally proven to be in a loving relationship with Sera, albeit one interrupted by Guardining across the Galaxy. After messing round with the Asgardians for just a few years, she later joined the Avengers group Strikeforce, as co-leader alongside Blade. And then…. nothing for some time.
Well, Bleeding Cool readers had some concepts about what Marvel might do together with her, in feedback and on social media.
New Type Ace Pilot: They cannot determine what to do together with her so as a substitute of ending it the place she was fortunately married with a stupendous spouse(one among marvel’s few married {couples} not to mention queer {couples} WITH a trans particular person) you separate them and shove the trans character into obscurity and neglect angela.
Effy: It’s predictable that Brevoort would take consolidation within the comics trade as an inevitability, however in any case, this is a easy factor to do with Angela, a personality who’s queer and got here from Spawn initially: ultraviolent lesbian comix. You’re welcome, Marvel, you cowards!
Kyle Beuthe: I do not know both however individuals appeared to actually like that Sera character she had as a love curiosity…. perhaps idk deliver her again as a substitute of constructing up contrived causes to maintain them aside?
Jimmy Palmiotti: I do know precisely what to do with the character, however it would price you. ;]
Ray Cornwall: Here’s an idea- provide Angela again to Todd in change for him drawing a Spider-Man/Spawn team-up ebook.
Marc Patten: Good tales make nice characters. Maybe after Miracleman Marvel ought to beg Neil Gaiman to take a crack at his personal character and attempt to combine her higher?
I’m going to say, Marc, that they’ve most likely requested. But Mr Gaiman is a busy type of fellow. Still, let’s tag him in on the social and see if he has something to say… however ultraviolent lesbian comix appears like the way in which to go for me.
