I saw that but it looks as if it omits the original Chaos War 1-5 issue series, which you need to round out the Alpha Flight story.

I guess at some point, in some TPB they'll do the actual series itself. I think there's a 'Chaos War : Hulk" tpb out around the same time, didn't check what that was going to have in it.

There's always a dozen little tie-in books with any crossover these days.

This one, though, will brink Alpha some publicity - people will pick it up for other stuff, and read the Alpha story. (Not everyone will do that, but a lot will.)
