I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.

Angela: Queen of Hel (2015-) #3 - Marguerite Bennett, Kim Jacinto

Angela continues to work through Hel, with some help from the inside now, and continues to try to free her love, Sera. 

 

Sera's all like: 

 

 

She's snarky, she's kinda crazy, she's all meta all the time.   She's another Lady Deadpool.   I'm loving her, and while I love Angela as well, it's Sera that makes this series.   Not only that, I doubt Sera or Angela would work as well alone: they work in sync, and perfectly, together.   There's a gorgeous scene where they're remembering mirrored memories, and they think the same thing. 

 

"I was a lonely child, but not alone."

 

It's a little heartbreaking to see how different they were, how different their childhoods were, and how much they seemed tied together even then.   It's heartbreaking because it's a small, and relevant, scene that deviates slightly from the main storyline.   And when you're pulled back to the present, you're reminded that these small, broken children grew up to yet more heartbreak. 

 

And then there's the fight to free themselves from that heartbreak, to come to a place where they can be at peace not only with each other and themselves, but with the world. They know who they are, thank you very much, and if the world isn't okay with that, well, they really don't have a single fuck to give. 

 

 

Not one single fuck between them, and that's what's so endearing about them: they've fought, they've been pushed around, and they're done with all of it now.   They care about what the other thinks, and nothing more. 

 

It would be nice, however, if the universe cut them some slack, and they're fighting for that: for the place in which they can be who they are.   For Sera's life.  Or unlife now? 

 

I do so hope they win.
