Angel of Death is a new web series created by Ed Brubaker (the author of Criminal) about a ruthless assassin named Eve (Zoe Bell). Eve has no qualms about her work, until she receives an injury to the head...specifically a knife wound.
Watch the episodes as they come out here. It looks to be an awesome Roaring Rampage of Revenge, featuring lots of guns, death, and blood. You must watch it.
Watch the whole series here and begin your new life as a Zoe Bell worshipper.

This series features examples of:
- Action Girl: Eve
- The Atoner: What Eve is probably going to become.
- Gun Struggle
- Hard Head: Quite averted, as Eve is stabbed in the freakin' head.
- Hitman With a Heart
- Infant Immortality: Massively averted in the first episode (Eve kills her target's daughter -- she probably didn't mean to, since she was stabbed in the head at the time).
- In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It: Ed Brubaker's Angel of Death.
- In Medias Res: The whole thing begins at the ending (probably).
- Ms. Fanservice: Eve looks to be this with a lowcut blouse, until she gets stabbed in the head and then it probably turns into Fan Disservice.
- Professional Killer: Eve.
- Role Association: The series plans to have Lucy Lawless, Ted Raimi, and Zoe Bell (who was Lawless's stunt double), as well as Doug Jones.
- Shower of Angst: And thank you very much.
