No Angel

Religious texts from The Bible to the Sumerian tablets speak of strange creatures descending from the heavens and mating with humans, their children the superhuman heroes of myth. None of this ever meant anything to Iraq War veteran Hannah Gregory, until she found herself in the crosshairs of a dangerous cult convinced that she’s a descendant of these mysterious bloodlines… bloodlines they’re determined to eradicate. Collects issues 1-4.

Adrianne Palicki knows a thing or two about superheroes, having starred as Mockingbird in ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (the character was originally slated to get her own spinoff series, Marvel’s Most Wanted, but ABC eventually decided not to move forward with the show). Now, she’s turning her expertise to an actual superhero comic. No Angel, co-written by Adrianne and her brother Eric Palicki, follows a woman named Hannah Gregory, an Iraq War veteran who returns to her small town following her father’s murder. Hannah quickly realizes that all is not as it seems, and that she may in fact be descended from an ancient race of superhumans foretold in Sumerian tablets and the Book of Genesis.
