Angela: Queen of Hel: Journey to the Funderworld by Kim Jacinto, Marguerite Bennett, Stephanie Hans
4.0
It's been interesting to watch Angela and Sera shift as they went from Gillen&Bennett to just Bennet, pre-reboot to post. Sera has a lighter, tongue-in-cheek 4th-wall-breaking tone here. It's fun and it fits well, I laughed at many of the jokes and references. It was also nice to see the return of some of the great characters from Gillen's Journey into Mystery run.
Hans's art is gorgeous and a perfect fit for the colorful, mythical story. But her art is only part of the issue as it switches off to Jacinto's art from page to page. I can understand why as the more typical comics style makes action clearer to follow, but when I think what it'd be like with lush art all the way through I'm wistful what could've been. Or perhaps a colorist with a different approach that flowed better with Hans's style would've made the transitions less jarring. As it is both artists are good but the constant switching is jarring.
