Well, we know he's at least involved, nice to see he will appear in Civil War: The Initiative.

This does shoot the theory that Walt is Guardian out of the sky.

Very nice! Is this going to appear in the next Wizard mag? Let's make sure to post this link in many other forums. 8)

For those without photoshop, I added some contrast to the sketch to see more details. 8)

I knew it couldn't be Walter in the suit, to me it made no sense what's so ever. Man that drawing is amazing.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa...I could actually still be right it was Talisman in Stormbreaker that brought Bill back.

And here I was thinking it was Betamax (to my mind, a damn site better idea than AF vol 2). IMHO :P

Ok, so I was wrong lol. Now we just have to figure out why Walt would begin with the team but decide not to join.

Angry issues, he might take it to far in taking care of some villians. As the rumor is Sasquatch might be killing Wrecking Crew.

Can Tanaraq still take control of Sasq if he loses it too much?

[SephirothsKiller]

Hmmm... I'm sort of disappointed that this is the whole team quite honestly, I would have liked to have seven people on the team as oppossed to six. And Puck. But time constraints and all that I guess...

"Unlike USAgent, she and her daughter are going to love Canada and have no problems assimilating. She represents the other side of Americans: the melting pot, the open-minded thinker. Yet that, along with her emotions, may also be her weak spot."

Wait! Canada isn't the melting pot though, that's the States! We're a Mosaic! A mosaaaic!! You stitch your cultural identity into the fabric of our nation, you don't assimilate into it! That's why there's sections of Toronto where people only speak Polish!

Open mindedness is a bad thing...?




I'm really wanting to know why the interviewer didn't ask about Guardian. We all know that Oeming is awesome at not leaking any information, so people have to be on the ball when interviewing him! Buddy should take lessons from Ben.

Yep, Tanaraq was taking control of Snowbird's body if she stayed in it's form to long as revealed in the Alpha Flight annual as well as during the Pestilence ark. When Walter was battling the Wrecker Crew there was a direct quote that he was losing control to something.

I thought we were a salad bowl. Darn my elementary teachers for misleading me!

I really like the comment about Canada having a Registration Act (Since AF #120, right?) and not causing deaths. Great research, like Seagle Oeming intends to think!

So, this sounds like a possiblity: Sasq battles the Crew solo, loses control, kills or seriously injures them, and as a result retires into a non-combat role while he trys to deal with his issues.

i love it!! i love it!! the team looks great!! omega flight will be the greatest thing since x-men 120!! cha-ching!!!!!!

Here's the scans I was talking about

Tanaraq
---------------------------------------------
Alpha Flight #59 (Vol.1): Tanaraq
Snowbird wanted to kill Pestilence as he was the personification of death so she transformed into Tanaraq as The Great Beasts were embodiments of death on Earth when it was first commencing to come alive. It was stated "the Great Beasts rule over death and decay, and can implore death and decay as a weapon against mankind". However, due to taking Tanaraq's form Pestilence allowed him to take control

---------------------------------------------
Alpha Flight Annual #1: Tanaraq
Snowbird knows the risks that if she transforms into Tanaraq he could take control if she remains in the form to long. Just to note if she transforms into Tanaraq in her mortol form she can't transform and gain the full power of Tanaraq as she has to be a goddess to do that

---------------------------------------------
Alpha Flight #119 (Vol.1): Tanaraq
Just confirmation of Sasquatch still losing control, Tanaraq is still alive and very present so it's very likely he is taking control once again. As mentioned earlier as well when Snowbird transformed into Tanaraq to fight Pestilence Tanaraq took over and with the rest of the Great Beasts attacked Alpha Flight

He was talking about the melting pot as being an American trait that Arachne has, not a Canadian trait. The mosaic lives. :wink:

Haven't seen that issue, (a gap in my collection :( ) . I guess Sasquatch is going against the crew for a round number two then eh!


On the Mosaic: Sweet.

I really wish Marvel would make a poster of the Silvestri team shot.
