A newly designed Angela will be appearing in the Marvel Universe courtesy of artist Joe Quesada with the arrival of Age of Ultron #10.
“Angela is going to make her mark rather quickly; she's going to hit the ground running and cut a large swath through the Marvel Universe - both literally and metaphorically,” explained Joe Quesada, Chief Creative Officer, Marvel Entertainment. “We have huge plans for her, and the mystery of who she is and where she comes from is something I think Marvel fans are going to be blown away by. Actually, I know they will!”
Also returning after a six year absence is Neil Gaiman who co-created the galactic bounty hunter with Todd McFarlane; Gaiman will be teaming with writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Sara Pichelli which will result in a new story arc commencing with Guardians of the Galaxy #5.
“It’s no coincidence that Angela’s debut comes around a time when we’re reminding fans that there’s a reason we call the space our stories take place in, the Marvel Universe,” said Axel Alonso, Editor In Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “What Neil and Brian have planned for the character in Guardians of the Galaxy is going to definitely turn some heads, and nobody can miss where it goes from there!”

The Infinity saga grows to encompass the New Avengers thanks to the creative collaboration between writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Mike Deodato.
