WildCATS' Zealot Meets Angel Breaker – And Wants Her Sword Back
Angel Breaker – also known as The Demon's Shadow – was created by Joshua Williamson and Howard Porter. Her first appearance was in Batman #122, as a member of Talia Al Ghul's League Of Assassins. But it turns out she has a hidden history – and not just the one with Black Canary. She has links to the Wildstorm side of DC Comics as well.
Gossip coming out of MCM London Comic Con this weekend is that Angel Breaker will be revealed to have strong ties to WildCATS character Zealot, created by Brandon Choi and Jim Lee, and studied with her, learning the way of the Coda. But also Angel Breaker's sword, which returns energies directed towards it, was stolen from Zealot – it was originally hers.
Zealot obviously wants her sword back. While Angel Breaker wants training from the best and brightest of the DC Universe… and from Wildstorm as well. Expect more Angel Breaker from Josh Williamson soon.
Starting with the Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special at the end of November.
