Why is Angela in Marvel?

 
That's right Nerds and Nerdettes, Angela from Image's Spawn comics is now a resident of the Marvel Universe.  Most of you comic readers already know this but I also know some people who didn't so I decided to share the news.  So you may have not heard it hear first, but just remember that Derf's Domain did not let you down, LoL.
 
Just what role will the lovely but deadly Angela have at Marvel U?  Well, what is known is that she will appear in the Age of Ultron series towards the end.  After Age of Ultron is complete, she will join the ensemble of the Guardians of the Galaxy.  Will she be good or evil?  Only time will tell.
 
How did Marvel get so lucky to land such a great character from a rival company?  It's simple, one of Angela's creators works for Marvel now.  For those of you who didn't know Neil Gaiman created Angela with Todd McFarlane but he had the rights to the character.  Now that Neil works on the Guardians series, he is bringing Angela to the Marvel Universe for all of his fans to enjoy.  I am one of the thankful ones because she was always a great character to read about.  You knew when she was in a comic, someone's ass was going to get kicked!
 
The image below is a reveal of her new look as drawn by Joe Quesada.
 


Avengers: the Enemy Within #1 Mini Comic Review

 
 
I really don't have much to say about Avengers: the Enemy Within #1 except that it doesn't excite me.  Most comics I read and review are high raters but this title falls short for me.  I am a big Avengers fan, so I decided to give it a read but I would have rather said no.  I truly apologize for all my followers who are Captain/Ms. Marvel fans but I cannot say that I liked it because I didn't.  The writing is ok and the artwork is done in a style I can do without.  I am just one reviewer out of thousands on the net so I may be the minority in thinking that this issue should have been shelved.  I give this issue a rating of 3 out of 10, and in my opinion that's being nice.
