This review is from: Angela (Spawn Series) (Paperback)
_I was a never a big follower of Spawn- until I stumbled upon the character of Angela, warrior angel. This book collects the three issues of the Angela limited series. I am glad, for this story deserved the respect of retelling in a high grade format. _This is the mythic tale of Angela, heaven’s foremost warrior for a hundred thousand years. No angel was was more decorated in the eternal battle against evil. Yet, this did not stop her arrest on the charge of treason- for pettyness and corruption had seeped into Elysium itself. To defend her, Angela’s friends sought help from Al Simmons- the most recent, and most reluctant of Hellspawn. Simmons was the only Hellspawn to ever defeat- or escape- Angela and only he could testify to her innocence in conspiring with Hell. . . _This is a truly mythological tale. But then why shouldn’t it be? The entire theme is a retelling of the never-ending battle between the Devas and the Asuras on the intermediate planes as told in the Vedas. Indeed, the Vedas even tell us that the Devas are primarliy of female form and of great beauty (which answers Simmon’s confusion as to why all the angels were “babes. “) _The art work is a match for the story. Every page is so well drawn and composed- and vibrantly colored- that it reminds you of the finest art deco. Oh yes, the cover of the book was also issued as a magnificent poster. I know because I had mine framed.

I thought this comic was great. It has a great story to it and the drawings are exelent. I thought the person who did the color on it did a great job, too. I usally don’t read the Spawn comics, but I thought this one looked interesting so I bought it. I am very happy with it and can read it over and over again. The cover interested me by its great artwork and detail. I recomend this to fans of Spawn’s Angela.
