Angela Returns: Marvel Sends the Angel of Death on a Demon Hunt

Marvel’s fiercest warrior is coming back with a new mission. Angela reunites with a creative team ready to unleash demons, swords, and supernatural chaos in February 2027.

Angela is heading back into the spotlight. Marvel Comics has announced a brand-new ongoing Angela series, bringing the formidable warrior back for a supernatural adventure that will take her from the Ten Realms to the streets of New York City.

Launching in February 2027, the series will be written by Wes Craig (Deadly Class, Kaya) with artwork by Pere Pérez(Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Versity). The project also marks Craig’s Marvel Comics writing debut.

And Angela isn’t coming to Earth for a peaceful visit.

New York City Has a Demon Problem

The new story begins when a mysterious outbreak of demons spreads across New York City. Angela receives a new assignment from Heven: hunt down and eliminate the supernatural threat before things get worse.

But there’s more happening beneath the surface.

The demon lord Abraxis appears to have his own plans for the Big Apple, while Heven’s sudden interest in Earth’s problems raises questions about the real nature of this mission.

Angela, however, has a fairly straightforward approach to the situation: find the demons, draw her weapons, and get the job done.

Marvel editor Nick Lowe summed up the character’s attitude perfectly, pointing out that although Angela is Thor’s sister and has fought alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, neither distinction is particularly important to her current assignment.

This is a demon hunt, and Angela intends to finish it.

Wes Craig Makes His Marvel Writing Debut

One of the biggest reasons to keep an eye on this series is its creative team.

Wes Craig has built a strong reputation through creator-owned work, particularly Deadly Class and Kaya. His storytelling combines intense action, distinctive visual worlds, and character-driven drama.

For Craig, Angela presents an interesting challenge. He describes her as an old-school warrior: stoic, direct, tough, and someone who doesn’t have much patience for nonsense.

But the writer also wants to explore what’s happening beneath that intimidating exterior.

What could make someone as powerful and seemingly unbreakable as Angela reveal her vulnerabilities? And is there something that could finally push her to her limits?

Those questions suggest the series won’t rely exclusively on supernatural battles. There’s room to explore the character behind the weapons.

Pere Pérez Promises Heavy Metal Action

Joining Craig is Spanish artist Pere Pérez, who brings a personal connection to the character.

Pérez revealed that one of the first comics he ever purchased with his own money was the original Angela miniseries from the 1990s. Getting the opportunity to reinterpret the character is therefore particularly meaningful.

His enthusiasm for the project is evident. The artist has expressed his excitement about drawing monsters, demons, and elaborate combat sequences involving swords, axes, spears, and medieval weaponry.

He even described the experience of reading the series as feeling like a heavy metal song blasting inside your brain.

That sounds like exactly the kind of energy an Angela comic should deliver.

Marvel has also revealed several covers for the debut issue, including the main cover by Kaare Andrews, alongside variant artwork by Wes Craig, Mark Brooks, Alexander Lozano, and Pere Pérez.

From Spawn to the Marvel Universe

Angela has one of the more unusual histories in modern superhero comics.

Originally created by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane, the character first appeared in Spawn #9 in 1993. Following a lengthy legal dispute over the rights to the character, Gaiman eventually acquired ownership and later brought Angela to Marvel Comics.

She officially joined the Marvel Universe in 2013, eventually being introduced as the secret half-sister of Thor.

Since then, Angela has experienced adventures across the Ten Realms, conquered Hel, and fought alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy. Her history has made her a fascinating bridge between Marvel’s cosmic mythology and its supernatural side.

More recently, her inclusion in Marvel Rivals introduced her to another generation of fans, giving the character renewed visibility beyond comic book readers.

Now, Marvel is giving her another opportunity to stand on her own.

When Does Angela #1 Arrive?

The new ongoing series begins with Angela #1, arriving in comic shops on February 10, 2027.

Rotten Usagi Take

Angela has always been an interesting character caught between different corners of comic book mythology. Her origins in Spawn, her connection to Thor, and her adventures with the Guardians of the Galaxy give her a background that few Marvel characters can match.

But perhaps the best direction for her is also the simplest: let Angela be Angela.

A supernatural investigation, an army of demons, mysterious forces manipulating events behind the scenes, and a warrior who would rather solve problems with a sword than spend hours discussing them.

Wes Craig’s interest in exploring the emotional limits of such a formidable character adds another layer of potential, while Pere Pérez’s enthusiasm for the monsters and combat promises plenty of visual spectacle.

If Marvel gets the balance right, this could be a welcome return for one of its most distinctive warriors.

Don’t mess with the Angel of Death.
