Today, Marvel Comics gave us the first look at their version of Angela, the long-standing Image Comics character created by Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane. At the end of Age of Ultron, Angela will be arriving in the Marvel Universe for the first time, now that Gaiman has the full legal rights to her. Marvel honcho Joe Quesada has now revealed his redesign of the character, as seen below.
Originally intended as a big surprise ending, the spoiler of her arrival was leaked, so now Marvel's making it pretty public.
“Angela is going to make her mark rather quickly. She's going to hit the ground running and cut a large swath through the Marvel Universe – both literally and metaphorically,” Quesada said. “ We have huge plans for her, and the mystery of who she is and where she comes from is something I think Marvel fans are going to be blown away by. Actually, I know they will!”
It seems that Angela will also be appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy, as Gaiman will be joining Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli for an arc that starts with issue #5.
“It’s no coincidence that Angela’s debut comes around a time when we’re reminding fans that there’s a reason we call the space our stories take place in, the Marvel Universe,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel's Editor In Chief. “What Neil and Brian have planned for the character in Guardians of the Galaxy is going to definitely turn some heads, and nobody can miss where it goes from there!”
So, here you go. What do you think of all this?

Saw this, i think she looks dope. Wonder if she will get her own solo series and still have spawn beginnings.
-
yeah there gonna redo her origins...like they do every established character they bring in (DC did it to grifter)
I hate that they should just say that shes from another reality -
Yeah that would work well, the diff reality. Instead of rebooting an established character. It sucks the creator took her out of spawn, she was one of my favorite spawn villains/opponents
-
what happened? her creator took owns her rights and took her away from Image?

I used to really like Angela. I doubt her new origin is gonna be anywhere near as good as her old one.
-
I had the first comic she appeared in spawn #9 as a kid...I just remember being little and reading that fight between her and Al when he snatched her and she was ass up in the air...had a lil ? like yeahhh
Sad thing about this is if they decide to reboot spawn in a film (prays they do) she wont be in it....but she might be in the guardians of the galaxy/avengers film...since she supposed to make her debut in G.of the Galaxy series this year and the film is supposed to be a tie in with Avengers 2... -

? outta here wit yo technicalities
-
I read somewhere that she is supposed to be the other side of the coin to people like mephisto and the other hell lords.
Ill find it -
I read somewhere that McFarlane and Gaiman fell out a while ago.
Supposedly, McFarlane gave up his rights to the character, thus allowing the character to arrive in Marvel. -
marvel and dc should buy more characters and bring them into their universes more often if dc can bring shazam/captain marven in why not?

Spawn VS Spectre would be GOAT.
