The problem was, in her original appearance, she was an angel from Heaven! In Marvel, we assume there's a Heaven - but it's never been seen (and is presumably not inhabited by sword-wielding warrior women).
Up to this point, her home has been pretty mysterious (though it's obviously not Heaven). But this issue provides the basis for her new origin - one that will leave her a powerhouse, and explain her durability and superhuman status.
This issue spinning out of the Original Sin series launches the storyline, as Thor and Loki learns a shocking family secret, and recruits Loki to help solve the mystery!
It (so far) seems like a solid way to integrate Angela into the Marvel universe, grounding her in existing mythology, rather than creating a new one.
This one is building slowly - Angela only appears momentarily in this issue - but so far it's an interesting tale of gods and secrets.
Grade: B+
