Yesterday, Bleeding Cool checked out Marvel Govt 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 have accomplished much less of this type of character-absorption. I might say that Daredevil labored out fairly effectively, even when the character was utterly reinvented. And Ghost Rider was made to work as soon as he left the outdated west and was recreated within the current day. I do not suppose we have fairly discovered the reply to what to do with Angela but, although—faraway from her connection to the SPAWN mythos, there’s not all that a lot to her, and our makes an attempt to cement her into Thor’s household tree have not solely taken off the best way we’d 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. Launched 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 distinct 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. After which…. nothing for some time.
Nicely, Bleeding Cool readers had some concepts about what Marvel might do along with her, in feedback and on social media.
New Type Ace Pilot: They can not determine what to do along with her so as an alternative of ending it the place she was fortunately married with a fantastic spouse(certainly one of marvel’s few married {couples} not to mention queer {couples} WITH a trans individual) you separate them and shove the trans character into obscurity and neglect angela.
Effy: It is predictable that Brevoort would take consolidation within the comics business as an inevitability, however in any case, here is a easy factor to do with Angela, a personality who’s queer and got here from Spawn initially: ultraviolent lesbian comix. You are welcome, Marvel, you cowards!
Kyle Beuthe: I do not know both however folks appeared to essentially like that Sera character she had as a love curiosity…. possibly idk convey her again as an alternative of constructing up contrived causes to maintain them aside?
Jimmy Palmiotti: I do know precisely what to do with the character, however it is going to price you. ;]
Ray Cornwall: Here is an idea- provide Angela again to Todd in alternate for him drawing a Spider-Man/Spawn team-up ebook.
Marc Patten: Good tales make nice characters. Perhaps after Miracleman Marvel ought to beg Neil Gaiman to take a crack at his personal character and attempt to combine her higher?
I will say, Marc, that they’ve most likely requested. However Mr Gaiman is a busy form of fellow. Nonetheless, let’s tag him in on the social and see if he has something to say… however ultraviolent lesbian comix appears like the best way to go for me.
