1602: Witch Hunter Angela #1 by Marguerite Bennett, Marguerite Sauvage, Stephanie Hans, Kieron Gillen
4.0
4.5/5 stars
I really wasn't expecting that to be as sad as it was.
I didn't really enjoy the first issue of this; it was confusing, and sort of threw me into a story/world I was unfamiliar with. However, each issue has a summary of what's going on at the beginning, and once I understood what was going on I grew to love the story. The only reason this isn't a 5 stars is because of how confused I was, and the fact that this isn't any longer.
The art is beautiful. The plot is really imaginative and original, and I was more attached to the characters than I thought because the ending actually really upset me and my heart still hurts now. I also like that it crosses over with several other Marvel stories, and incorporates these modern heroes into an older time. Battleworld actually makes some sense to me now, too. Serah and Angela being a couple was also really nice, and their interactions were sweet, funny and, towards the end, really emotional.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a quick, original comic series, with interesting characters and plot. Just be warned, the ending isn't what I would call a happy one, but I loved it regardless!
