Well... quiet round here lately, eh?

[-K-M-]

Yeah I blame the holidays haha

[Sypes]

Are you guys ready for the holidays?

[Alphan East]

Great time of the year to go back and read this issue again. :)

Something about that cover always bothered me. Are they wearing the right costumes? Doesn't seem to make sense. In the previous issue #104 they were all brand new red and white costumey... then this cover kinda killed that, and inside they aren't in costume at all.

[Phil]

Yeah, it doesn't quite fit in with the issue but it's nice and funny as an AF Christmas.
Were Variant covers around back then it'd have made a good one.

[rplass]

Agreed. Weren't there also a guest appearance for weapon omega in nick fury around then also ? My notes have that new costume in feb1992.

Partly the holidays - Merry Christmas everybody! - partly lack of Alpha Flight news. (I suppose?)

I'm about to be off the grid for a couple of weeks myself.

Aren't those the stealth costumes they had at the time?

And, Phil, it was the 90s! Of course they had variant covers! That's the main reason they sold so well. (Oh, and gimmick covers, and inserted trading cards.)

He looks so long-suffering and patient. And very, very cute. :)

I hope he only needs those glasses for reading, though.

Yeah he's a good sport. Would like to dress him up as an Alpha Flight character but not sure who

Lol!
-K-M-, make it so!

Just realised nobody's answered this part (not that YOU need confirmation).
It was Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. #32, during Alpha's World Tour. Yep, Omega was in the black costume.

Well the black costumes were for covert operations, and nothing's more covert than Santa delivering presents without being seen!

The team including Weapon Omega originally wore the dark suits in Alpha Flight #102 and continued to wear them right up to the Christmas cover issue.

Cover made sense to me.

One of the reasons I've been quiet is because I've been away taking pictures of cockatoos:
