Dear Mr Lobdell :
I was wondering wtf you thought you playing at with your latest rendition of Alpha Flight? Now even though it would seem that the team means absolutely nothing to you, it means a lot to a lot of fine people. You gave us all that gumph at the beginning of the series about Zed Flight, ANADAF, Uncanny Alpha Flight etc, but if truth be known (or at least as far as I'm concerned) you used us all as a hop up to get yourself back on the books at Marvel. Firstly I don't like being used and secondly I take issue with the fact that you used our good graces to ingratiate yourself with us and then crapped all over us.
Alpha deserves more than the treatment you gave them, these people, be they two-dimensional or not have a history within the MU that should have been explored. However you decide to give us a stand up comedy routine that wouldn't even go down well at a fanboy piss up. John Byrne, for all his ego, created a team that would be able to stand beside the Avengers, FF etc in any given circumstance, you gave us the Three stooges in costume. Personally I hope your proud of yourself cos you not only bent us over the desk, you really reamed us in the process.
Now I have been a member of the AF community for coming close to 9 years, in that time I have met a lot of fine people who have probably forgotten more about AF than you'll ever know, the only difference is that you have the capability of depicting them, we do not. Why do you feel that AF is suitable for you to get your rocks of depicting them as 'Third Rate Avengers Wannabee's' a term you yourself used in Gen X #19. We didn't want world shattering stories, just something that depicted AF with the respect they are due, you let us down big time. I suppose you'll have no problem sleeping tonight?, I personally would have difficulty putting my head outside the front door if I had delivered the drivel you have for the last 12 issues.
I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt after AF #106, but after this I personally hope you never come near AF again.
Yours Del Robinson
