NEIL GAIMAN returning to Marvel, bringing ANGELA with him.

I didn’t see this one coming. I suppose that isn’t surprising, since I cannot see much through the womb of caffeine and masturbating that I exist within. Neil Gaiman is returning to Marvel, and the good man is bringing Angela with him. Yes, that Angela. The one he co-created with Todd McExpensiveBaseBalls way back in the day.

Later this year, writer Neil Gaiman makes his return to Marvel Comics. According to The New York Times, the “Sandman” and “Eternals” writer will re-enter the Marvel Universe with a collaboration on the final issue of “Age of Ultron” with writerBrian Michael Bendis before co-writing “Guardians of the Galaxy” #5.

Perhaps even more intriguing is the announcement that Gaiman plans to introduce Angela to the Marvel U, a character the writer originally created as part of Todd McFarlane’s “Spawn” mythology. Gaiman won a long-running legal battle in 2012 , awarding the co-creator 50-percent ownership of the character with McFarlane. While a crossover between two publishers is hardly unprecedented, this is the first time a character from another publisher has been introduced with the intent of being a larger part of the other’s universe.

“We were looking for a good entry point to tease our fans and to let them know [Angela] was going to be a major player [in the Marvel Universe],” CCO Joe Quesada told the Times. Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso likened Angela’s appearance in the final issue of AoU to “the post-credit scenes in one of our Marvel studio movies,” saying it’s designed to get fans hungry for more.
