It's one of the main things that attracted to the book.īennett: Kieron's a great help in all things! I was intimidated, certainly, to be included on such a spectacular project with such incredibly talented teammates, and allowed guardianship of such a notorious character. The real trick is that I have to integrate Angela's mythology with Agsard's, as seamlessly as possible. (Which if you want a trait I share with Angela, that would be it.) It's tempting to ask whether Kieron is a great help with the arcane mythology of Asgard, but Angela comes with her own! Is it hard to keep track of? I want you to be able to pick it up and enter this world, and understand exactly what makes the character compelling, with nothing other than what's on the page. I'm informed by everything that came before, especially what we learned in Original Sin: Thor & Loki – The Tenth Realm. Gillen: They'll be no required reading bar every line we put in the book. We're going to take pains to see that no reader is bewildered by Angela's integral role in the MCU, while giving her amazing supporting cast their due. How much will this book stand alone versus how much do you need to always know what's going on in Loki, Thor, Guardians, etc.?īennett: While the books will natural have appearances from other key characters, we want the title to be very accessible on its own. She is in crisis, though she'd be damned if she let anyone know.Īngela is a character who's inherently kind of hooked in with a lot of key titles at Marvel right now. She must find a way to go forward, to serve the debt she feels both to the place of her birth and to the place of her upbringing, while navigating what it is she wants. What Angela believed she was will grind against the revelation of who she is.



Will that be a major source of conflict, at least in the beginning?īennett: Absolutely. Now, Angela wants nothing to do with Asgard - but the title of the series suggests she won't get what she wants. To have a friend for a co-writer is the most auspicious thing I could imagine for a book-being able to communicate, laugh, argue, agree, understand, and ultimately trust the other party. Working with Scott Snyder, Tom Taylor, and now Kieron Gillen has been a delight and I'm so, so grateful for their genius and support. Bennett: I've been so fortunate to get to work with writers who are some of the most talented in the industry, in addition to being such incredibly kind and encouraging people.
