Review: Angela: Asgard’s Assassin Vol. 1 – “Priceless”

I’ve been curious about the Angela: Asgard’s Assassin for a while now, since the Comic Issues folks have such glowing things to say about the series on their podcast. The release of the first graphic novel collecting the story of Thor’s long-lost sister seemed like a really good place to jump on board the bandwagon. First two impressions:

Review – C.J. Cherryh’s Tracker

Several months ago C.J. Cherryh published the first book in her sixth trilogy of the Foreigner Sequence, and I’m very glad I read it. However.

And they become such a matter-of-fact part of the world you accept the idea completely, as if it
