It could have been them…or it could have been something else. As it stands, I see them as a device prompting Angela to reveal why she kidnapped her sister. I think they’re an amazing part of Norse mythology and have been used to great effect in the past, but I don’t think they quite do all that they could or should be doing here. I’m still not sure about the Disir and their appearance in this issue. Angela playing poker is absolutely adorable-and Drax’s technique is exactly as you’d expect. It’s a fun way to introduce the characters and even, to a degree, show us who they are. With the solid foundation Gillen and Bennett have built across the last three issues, I think we’ve more than earned a nice little poker scene. I’ve been doing some thinking recently about pacing in comics, how to balance quiet moments with loud ones while continuing to keep your audience entertained. We pick up in this latest installment with Angela, Sera, and the Guardians playing poker. Written by Kieron Gillen, Marguerite BennettĪrt by Phil Jimenez, Stephanie Hans, Romulo FajardoĪt the end of last issue, Angela and Sera took refuge with the Guardians of the Galaxy while hiding from the Odinson and any other Asgardians who would seek to hunt them down. ![]()
