Angela: Asgard's Assassin: Priceless Review

Finished reading Angela: Asgard's Assassin: Priceless, after discovering her true heritage during Marvel's Original Sin event she discovers that her new born sister has a demon laying dormant inside of her. The book opens up with Angela in the wilderness of a planet holding the new born daughter of Odin and Freyja as Angela heads to the nearest town to meet with her friend Sera as Angela is being hunted down by the forces of Asgard. The book continues with Angela and Sera traveling across a handful of the Ten Realms to save the newest addition to Angela's family from a demon that lies dormant inside the body of the young baby. Overall this was a good book as writers Kieron Gillen and Marguerite Bennett craft an intriguing story that has some great emotional moments that drives some of the characters. The sub stories are great as they help to further develop the story and the characters by showing what events had transpired to cause the story of the book. Additionally the sub stories do a great job in building the relationship between Angela and Sera that have some great emotional scenes, while the sub stories also flesh out more of Angela's life with the Angels of Heven. The art throughout is breathtakingly amazing as both Phil Jimenez and Stephanie Hans draw out some great creature and character design and choreograph some stunning fight scenes that show of the amount skill the Angela has in her fighting style. While the colouring of the whole book feels as if it's been painted which works extremely well with the tone of the book and its characters. 7/10.
