Marvel has announced a new series starring Angela, the forgotten daughter of Odin and sister of Thor and Loki. Originally a character in the Spawn universe, Marvel acquired the rights to the character in 2013, introducing her as an Asgardian raised in the forgotten realm of 'Heven.'

The daughter of Odin and Freyja, Angela (born 'Aldrif') was kidnapped by Angels and spirited away to the Tenth Realm, which was locked off from the Nine Realms of classic Thor lore. Thor and Loki later went on a mission to free her, with the character starring in her own solo comics as well as appearing in Guardians of the Galaxy and Strikeforce.

Angela was partially adapted in the MCU's Thor: Ragnarok, with elements of her backstory given to classic villain Hela. Now, Angela is getting her own series as Marvel takes the character back to basics.

Angela Returns As New York's Demon Hunter

Marvel's new ongoing Angela series will see the character descend on New York as a demon hunter, working on a bounty from Heven itself. Coming February 2026 from Wes Craig and Pere Pérez, the new series will see Angela face off against the demon lord Abraxis, seemingly sidelining past lore to give fans a perfect jumping-on point for the character.

Angela was last seen as a supporting character in Doctor Strange, helping the sorcerer during his time in Asgard. Now, she has a brand new mission as Marvel reveals:

Demons are running amok in New York City, and a new demon hunter has been assigned by Heven to hunt and destroy them - Angela. Are things not what they seem? What does the demon lord Abraxis want with the Big Apple? Why is Heven so concerned with Earth? Angela doesn’t really care but plans to wet her blade with evil blood.

Marvel has also shared covers by Kaare Andrews and Pérez, showcasing Angela's golden armor and razor-like ribbons. Her enemy in this series is the demonic Abraxis, who shouldn't be confused for Abraxas - a multiversal predator held at bay by the existence of Galactus.

It's possible that Angela will spin out of the newly launched Avengers Volume 10, in which Mephisto's scheming will seemingly unleash demons on the city.

Marvel's New Angela Series Is A Fresh Start

Despite multiple solo series and a dedicated fanbase, Angela has never truly been integrated into Marvel's Earth-616, rarely interacting with heroes who aren't directly linked to Asgard. The new Angela series seems set to change that, basing her in Marvel's hero capital of New York and giving her a unique role as a dedicated demon hunter.

Part of Marvel's decision in publishing a new Angela series seems to be based on her appearance in Marvel Rivals. The hero shooter game has increased Angela's profile, as she appears alongside icons like Captain America and Hulk, familiarizing casual fans with her attitude and abilities.

Speaking to Marvel, editor Nick Lowe appears to confirm that the series is intended to cater to fans who know Angela as a character, but haven't followed her stories thus far, saying:

Is Angela Thor’s sister? Yes. Was she a Guardian of the Galaxy? Yes. Does she care about either of those? Hel no! Angela’s focused on her new assignment from Heven - rid New York City of the epidemic of demons currently plaguing it and you get to read all about it in her new ongoing series!

Angela's Creative Team Explain How They See The Character

Angela is relatively unique in being a character who began outside Marvel but was then given a very personal connection to it, introduced into sprawling Asgardian lore. Writer Wes Craig emphasizes Angela's nature as a loner character and the challenges that poses, saying:

Writing my first Marvel series has been very cool. It's such a fun world to play in. Angela's an old school warrior. Stoic, no-nonsense, she doesn't suffer fools, doesn't have time for BS, and she's tough as nails. I love that kind of character. But that also makes her an interesting challenge: What would make someone like that show us her heart? And is there anything that would make her break? Over the next year, we're gonna find out...

Artist Pere Pérez reveals a personal connection to Angela going back to her Spawn era, confirming there'll be plenty of classic fantasy combat:

I'm having a crazy amount of fun drawing this series. Wes and I are totally on the same page with the creative choices for Angela, and he is writing a very fun and layered story. One of the very first comics I bought with my own money was the original Angela miniseries from the ‘90s, so being able to add my own twists to her design has been very exciting. I love drawing monsters and demons, and I've been wanting to draw fight scenes involving weapons like... swords, axes, spears and medieval stuff, so expect some crazy action! This book is going to make you feel as if a heavy metal song is blasting in your brain!

Over the last decade, Angela has had some great stories in Marvel Comics, but has never felt like a true Marvel character. That's seemingly about to change as Angela begins a new mission in New York, hunting an army of demons and unavoidably crossing paths with some of Marvel's biggest heroes.
