X-men Elsewhen to feature Mac and Heather

[SpaceGuardian]

Hey,

Don't know if you've been following the info on John Byrne's forum, but the series he's developing, if published, will feature Mac and Heather around its 8th issue. Issue 2 is planned to take place following the events of Uncanny 139 - 140

Nice!
I know it’s all hypothetical at the moment, but I kinda hope Marvel do pick it up.

John Byrne working with Alphans again? That would be awesome!

I take it this is an alternate reality series?

This time I hadn't forgotten (entirely)! :) I vaguely wondered if it might be that… but still asked. (Again.)

Well, I absolutely missed it as it got moved to the Fan Fic part of his Forum, but JB has actually posted 12 issues worth of Elsewhen since the end of last year, and in April he posted a #10 which included a panel of the twins:

OH! And Mac & Shaman later on in the "issue"!

[Le Messor]

Oh, wiaow! Byrne drawing AF again! YAYYYYY!

(Also, Manta dying in Gladiator's arms? Must've been some kind of kiss!)

[Garry/Al-Fan]

John Byrne + IDW MARVEL ACTION + Alpha Flight + Jim Zub (editor) = a fighting chance to success.

[Le Messor]

Good point.
Get on it, IDW!

[Ahab]

Considering that it seems that he is not much of a fan of his own creations (Alpha Flight), it's interesting that Byrne included 4 Alphans in this.

[Phil]

JB is still going with his project.

#23 features Shaman and Mac: http://m.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=57386&PN=1&totPosts=13

Even at little more than a cameo, that's awesome.

If only there were some way to get this physically.

[Tawmis]

Well, save it, print it out on paper... :D

[Le Messor]

Paper? I've heard of that!

[Garry/Al-Fan]

If you want to see some ALPHA FLIGHT goodness, check out the latest installment of the X-Men Elsewhen story: "Where MONSTERS Dwell"

Beautiful.
Cheers for the heads-up Garry!

LOADS more Mac, Heather, and Shaman in the issues since (#26-28)

[Garry/Al-Fan]

Today's installment of the ELSEWHEN storyline indicates that DEPARTMENT H is not/was not intended to be a huge, public organization. Which is in line with the Byrne-era volume 1 ALPHA FLIGHT. Which makes sense to me/is plausible because people [i.e. (super-)villains] knowing who AURORA and Heather and Walter are would spell bad news for them and their relatives. Very bad news.
