I liked the part where one of the Marvel editors (Lowe?) said that this has been the plan for Angela the whole time. That's a pretty good joke IMO.

I mean, it's basically the only thing that makes sense. Marvel doesn't explicitly use Judeo-Christian cosmology like Spawn (kinda) does, and the closest thing is Asgard, so... yeah.

I just really have a hard time believing it actually was what they had planned from the start. I get the impression Marvel thought people would care about her because she's a Gaiman creation (remember the bait and switch with him him "co-plotting" GotG #1?) but the reality is that nobody cares about a loving Spawn character in 2014 so they're going to shuffle her around until they find something that works.

I'm not saying the character is ruined by being (partially) Asgardian or anything, just that it would take a lot of convincing for me to believe that really was their plan the whole time.

The only part I am not down for is the likely death of Nick Fury in this event.

Yeah, about that...

I won't concede that point until we know who the other person bit is. On the one hand I have hopes it's someone better than Gwen, on the other....well, Slott.

We know who it is though: a woman named Silk who's shown up in brief scenes in the first few issues of ASM and is going to be a big part of the Original Sin stuff for Spider-Man.

(Everyone's going to fall in love with Spider-Gwen and make Slott's new character entirely as pointless as Alpha anyway)

Maybe she'll wind up getting a goofy mini by a much better writer before disappearing into obscurity too.
