Guest stars galore, including Brother Voodoo, El Aguila, and Captain Ultra. Plus Spider-Man, Wolverine, Daredevil, and all the other spotlight-hogs you can't get enough of! Oh, and don't forget, in this issue ANOTHER GLAer DIES! Well... besides Mr. Immortal.

"AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D." Part 3 (of 6)
With friends like these…who needs enemies? Hydra hits close to home in more ways than one, leaving a rehabilitated Wolverine to face off against a brainwashed, evil former X-Man. With the evil Dawn of the White Light mutants as backup, it's not looking pretty.

32 PGS./Marvel PSR+ …$2.25



And though it's not Alpha Related, thought some of us would be interested in what Clay's next project is:

Written by Nunzio DeFilippis & CHRISTINA WEIR
Pencils & Cover by Clayton Henry

From the pages of New X-Men, the resident bad boys (and girls) of Xavier's get their own miniseries. The Hellions spend the summer in California, where they'll discover the dirty secrets from one of their pasts and will face a temptation that will determine whether these kids will be heroes or villains.

Outside of Heather Sasquatch I doubt this'll have any AF ties. Who knows?

Maybe Sasquatch because of the cover, but I don't think anything like GLA is ever going to be on my radar


"CAMPFIRE" Part 1 (of 1).

Or 'The Funeral of Northstar' in one panel.

With over 30 teams and heroes allegedly all, Alpha Flight may be one of them. Say FF, 3-4 X-Men teams, Avengers, Young Avengers, Runaways, X-Force, New Warriors, T-Bolts, it can add up fast if they don't use only current, in continuity teams. But AF is a reasonable bet. I think it won't be ANADAF. If we're lucky it'll be the team as of... Version 4!!


"AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D." Part 3 (of 6)
With friends like these…who needs enemies? Hydra hits close to home in more ways than one, leaving a rehabilitated Wolverine to face off against a brainwashed, evil former X-Man.

It could be Northstar, but who else isn't a current X-Man? Iceman? Berseker? Bedlam? Rictor? Lifeguard? Slipstream? Banshee? Synch? Mimic? One of the kids from 'Riot at Xavier's'? I figure there are at least 15 characters who fit the drawing and promo besides Northstar. Banshee maybe a good bet? Sunfire even? Northstar? Just a hard guess. After all it doesn't say " back from the dead".

v4 where are you??

i don't get the hellions issue, what alpha tie does that have?

That's an awsome cover Clayton. Don't know too much about these guys, other than they're Emma's bunch of super-kids, but I'll have to buy it. Darn you for making me buy non Alpha book! ;)

The answer to "who knows?" would be anyone who's been reading the book.
Cover sure looks like it will encompass the books past, which has been pretty rich in the Alpha mythos since the beginning, and the Tunderbird on the cover has connection to a variant Shaman.

Hellions is on my pull list now for sure.

sweet!!!


i guess we now know the "x" project you will be working on.

i will be picking up.

The entire New X-Men: Hellions LS is collected in a brand new TPB. I saw a very nice shiny copy tonight. It's so shiny. For $9.95 you can get all four issues, not bad. The cover is reprinted from the cool issue #1 cover. Nice! Shiny!

Love,
