[cheesebiggins]

So, so excited for this; Angela is one of the coolest characters imo, and this creative team is perfect!

[TimeCrash]

Very much the Avengers NOW book I'm most looking forward to! Can't wait, I hope Neil Gaiman enjoys these new adventures!

Very much looking forward to this. Art is amazing

[Darth Phoenix]

Looks cool so far.

It does look cool, but did anyone think some of the wording (in the narration) seemed a bit awkward?
Or maybe it's just me. But I'll definitely be giving this one a shot anyway.

Good lord. This series hasn't even debuted yet? whatever.

Good lord. This series hasn't even debuted yet? whatever.

I'm not sure I understand the point of this post.

Puzzled by Marvel's (or Axel's) obsession with female assassins. Black Widow, Electra, Gamora and now Angela. The books always die quick deaths, yet Marvel seems to think they are a draw. Assassins in any form are not a great message to send out to the world -- and I include the Punisher in that estimation. I think even Spider-Woman was an assassin for awhile. Do we really need more of these anti-role models?

This looks great. Definitely excited to see what these creators can do on this series. I hope New Thor shows up!

Why does every character have to be a role model? I seriously doubt Marvel's message is that people should look up to/emulate/aspire to be any of those characters.

Some of us simply enjoy these darker, yet not villainous counterparts to the heroic community.

This book looks terrific thus far, and I'm definitely a day-one buyer.

I do hope Marvel gives it some sales leeway, as she isn't a big-name character and may not sell a ton of books, and doesn't try and cancel it prematurely.

I also hope none of the talent involved leaves early or gets poached by other big-name titles: I'm looking at you, Cyclops.

[Arfguy]

Art looks damn good. I hope Angela amounts to something under this creative team that she never amounted to in the pages of Guardians of the Galaxy.
