Don't ask me why the text is arse about face on the splash page, or is that just my pc doing that ? :-)
Oh and somebody on the Awaves mailing list posted that they had read #2 and revealed some interesting news, but unlike them, I will say it is a majorish spoiler.

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

Yay! Just what I wanted, a damn page preview! Thanks, Del! :)

I really like the reverse imaging from the first big splash page in the first issue... that made me giggle. Also cool to see our veterans again, despite their restraints. I wonder now how Sasquatch avoided this fate? He must've been wearing his Hulkbuster armor. :D

I'm guessing from snippets that we've seen so far that this is the Plodex at work... does anyone else think that the Master is going to be our villain du jour in the first story arc?

No gripes at all. In fact, I'm more excited now than ever to read #2. Can't wait!

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

Sorry to double-post, but I just had a thought: has anyone noticed how Clayton Henry seems to have this obsession with drawing really large penises on any of his big-and-furry characters? I've noticed it on Sasquatch, I've noticed it on the werewolves from the Exiles/Uncanny X-Men crossover, and I've noticed it in Exiles itself. Good God, man, why would Jeanne-Marie EVER dump Walter?! :shock:

[DelBubs]

Wasn't sure about the reverse writing, and am to tired to try and interpret it all and re the Penis thing, surley as Sas he would have a large wang. With that in mind, why don't Bruce Banner rip his jeans apart, and I don't think any wang will ever be big enough for Aurora :-)

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

I sure wouldn't mind seeing the Hulk's hulk. :wink: Then again, I'm still hoping for an Alpha Flight Swimsuit Edition... featuring Major Mapleleaf, wearing absofreakinglutely nothing, holding his Stetson over his crotch. Or not holding it there.

OH MY.

[DelBubs]

I do believe, (and Phil prob knows more about this, being a mine of AF appearence info) that there is a comic out there with some AF members in swimwear. I think Northstar puts in an appearence.

Oh dear, can this discussion sink any lower???? I'm sickened...

*ahem*

I would love to know where I can see pics of Northstar in a pair of speedos, I actually have a copy of the Marvel Swimsuit special from many many years ago - it holds a special place in my cupboard, as you can well imagine.

Love the preview of the next issue - looking forward to it. Btw, who is the guy with the glasses next to Snowbird? My minds gone blank (possibly due to lewd images of the Hulk's green trouser snake... :oops: ).

i've wondered that too since he was shown in Uncanny 120-something-or-other (the only AF appearance I have before the armour debacle).

Re: the Hulk, nevermind why they don't get destroyed... I wanna know how many pairs of purple pants Bruce Banner owns!!

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

The guy in the glasses (and why he has glasses, I have NO idea) is Chuck Moss, a.k.a. Earthmover.

i guess marvel started sending advance issues to tease customers on the next weeks releaes, but my shop had #2 sitting on a display shelf. i tryed in vain to get them to sell it to me with no luck.

*cough*Marvel Swimsuit Special #1 Aurora, Sasquatch
Marvel Swimsuit Special #2 Aurora, Northstar, Persuasion*cough*

[Nalyd Psycho]

I unfortunatly can't find any Marvel Swimsuit Specials.

The reverse imaging is wicked creative, really digging that.

[Phil]

The fifth page, fourth not including the recap page, is over at Comics Continuum. (http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/0404/01/af4.htm)

Sorry, didn't quite hear that? :wink:

Do you have a scanner* btw? :)

(*The thing that scans pictures into your computer, not a psi-powered assasin that can make men's heads blow off in spectacularly 80s fashion! LOL.)

[beetleblack]

Btw, is this picture partial evidence of why we may never see Puck in a swimsuit special? Seems that 'little man' might not always equal 'little man'! ;) What IS Puck's arm leaning on??? Answer on a postcard to the usual address, kids! smuttybeetle@cupboardlover.net

[HavokThePowerful]

I do :D

Just not the issues themselves :lol:


What IS Puck's arm leaning on???

His knee :P

[Ben]

boy, this bing on "vacation" thing really puts me outta the loop! This rocks, glad to see Lobell tie the origonals in so soon, so it would seem Sas's overall plan with the new team was to make a strike force of sorts to save the origonals. Tossed all 5 pages up on alphaflight.net

[DelBubs]

When I see these little snippets, I still get that Alpha Buzz, no other comics does that for me. While I keep getting that Buzz, I'll keep on buying.

Re Yukons homeland, I googled Kemteron (?), even google came up empty handed, but I shall perservere :-)

[PWalk]

Is it just me or does Centennial always have that pose where he's hunched over flexing with his fists clenched?

Otherwise it looks awesome, lets hope the kill Mac soon, he's about due again. :lol:

[Puck]

No need to decipher text, is is exactly the same as the splash page in Isue #1 page 2 :) (though your probably realised that)

Yup, straight after yourself and Phil pointed it out to me, I would have got there eventually :-) (maybe)

[bigbloo]

ROTFL!!! :lol:

You guys are killing me!

Back on topic though, I really really like this preview, I wasn't all that excited about #2 but after seeing these pages, now I cant wait!!!

[suzene]

I'm just glad to see that Henry knows what Puck looks like! His last couple of appearances outside of AF have been a horrid mockery of proportions. Really nice artwork all around...even though I think Shaman looks a little bishy. I'm not sure if that's a complaint or not. ;)

Suzene

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

What's "bishy"?

[suzene]

Short for "bishonen". Term out of anime fandom meaning "beautiful boy", typically used to refer to any excessively pretty/hot-looking young man. In this case used to refer to the fact that Shaman seems to have lost his wrinkles, gotten a bit willowy, and has lovely, long, flowing tresses. ;)

Suzene

[Major Mapleleaf Jr]

Oh yes, that word. If I were more fond of the Japanese language (or the culture, period), I might've known that, lol.

[varo]

thank god guardians skunk stripe is gone!!!!!!!


yipee!!

[DelBubs]

Never liked the skunk stripe and never really liked pseudo 'Prometheus' Mac, but he died a noble death, so he ain't all bad :-)

[Legerd]

Yeah, but if he was Mac's clone isn't he just as immune to death as Mac is?! {guardian}
