We are introduced to Angela, a hellspawn hunting angel. We first see her in an encounter with a spawn from the dark ages, disguising herself as a damsel in distress, she lures him into a trap and kills him.
Moving 800 years into modern times, she is still hunting hellspawn and Spawn is on her radar however their encounter doesn't go her way and she is shocked that she can't defeat him. They both ending up disappearing and this sets up the adventure for the next issue.
Spawn is given a lesson by one of the homeless, Cagliostro, as to how to draw power from his suit, he uses this power to gift his friends with wine but he also needs it when Angela shows up.
I liked the tutorial on demon slaying that starts the issue off, it adds another layer to the world building. I enjoyed the issue overall but felt the ending was a bit lacking after the strong start.

Epic artwork of my favorite Spawn character. It gives Angela's history and her 'current' hunt.
Controversial (due to character ownership), but classic nonetheless!

Oh, Angela, it's a long time coming...
Been wondering when I'd see her again after so many ago I first saw in my local library amongst the pages of the random Spawn graphic novel I happened to pick up of sheer curiosity.

Second Reading.
Read this first back in 1993 when it came out. Just picked up a couple investment copies at a comic book store so I read it again- because Neil Gaiman is ALWAYS WORTH READING and Todd MacFarlane art is ALWAYS A TREAT FOR THE EYES.
First appearance of Angela. One of the few characters to cross comic book universes so completely. If she gets in the MCU this book will skyrocket in value.

April 20, 2022The use of Angela came to create quite a kerfuffle when Gaiman first wasn't credited and ended up taking McFarlane to court. Although it was more of a legal department thing and Gaiman said it cost way more time and energy than it was worth.

Unfortunately, this isn't inclused in the Spawn Origins Collection Vol.2. Legal BS is fun.
