That would be cool... but then I remember what they did the last time all the Avengers disappeared, during Heroes Reborn.Quote:

Ah yes. Also the last time any real Alpha Flight members appeared in an Avengers book, they were "welcomed" by Michael Pointer...Quote:

In Avengers Forever, Sasquatch was an alternate reality member. (Cameo, no lines.)Quote:

Could see Validator make the cut
Why not? We did with the X-Men! :twisted:Quote:

So... from the looks of it, like when the regular x-verse ceased publication for 4 months for the AoA, the 616 Universe is going to effectively cease for 4 months as every Universe ever is colliding/incursion-ing/merging to form Battleworld. The heroes are still our heroes, with their history and memories, but in a new planet made up of the remnants of every Universe.
During this time new series' will launch.
Where they end up is anyone's guess...

My impression is - they're rebooting the whole universe, when everything collides. And the result will be a mishmash of worlds and realities called "Battle World." (So Earth is going to be this mess of different pieces; and will no longer really resemble Earth). Heroes will be from all kinds of time lines. And from the video, potentially multiple versions of the same heroes.
And the video seems to lend to the idea; that all books are being rebooted into this Battleworld. And this this WILL be the new Marvel Universe from here on out.
Yeah, I'm with you on most of that, but not the word 'reboot' as the characters will retain their histories and memories - everything that has happened up till now will still of happened; it'll just be a new status quo.
I think it'll be put back by September, only, like when X-Man, Dark Beast etc. came over to the 616 when the AoA ended, certain characters will remain in the 'new & improved' 616 that's left in it's wake.
Which is pretty much what happened with the original Secret Wars, only that was alien planets.Quote:

That's how they'll bring back Wolverine ... and maybe other characters. Who else died recently?
What worries me is seeing multiple of the same character running around. Won't it be a little confusing if regular Hawkeye is running around along with Ultimates Hawkeye running around too?Quote:

While I am sure, the "4 different ones" is a jest in regards to Gwen - what would stop them from having 4 different Wolverines running around?
Now it won't have to just be ONE Wolverine in every book - there can be AoA Wolverine, 616 Wolverine, Ultimates Wolverine, Days of Future Past Wolverine, all a part of different teams...
Good point, Sypes!
Possibly. I've already seen a Spider-Gwen book advertised.Quote:

Wouldn't it be (somewhat) cool if Wolverine came back from another universe and he was the leader of Alpha Flight? He had stayed in Weapon X and created Alpha Flight, and now there would be a book of Wolverine and Alpha Flight. New members, old ones etc, all tied in with Wolverine.
I always thought he was over exposed, but if he's gonna be in every freaking book again, put him in an Alpha Flight book and let's sale / buy that baby.
Come to think of it, they're already advertising a book called Wolverines.
(From the one image I've seen, I recognise Mystique, Sabretooth, and Deathstrike. Katana guy and molten metal guy (Cypher?) I don't.)

I thought something similar. They're currently selling multiple X-Men titles without Wolverine and a Wolverine book with multiple replacement characters. They could easily restart the MU with Wolvie and Alpha Flight (which would obviously help it sell more then 12 issues) and Multiple X-Men titles with those replacement Wolvies. Help spread the wealth.Quote:

It was just a general question, but it was asked 1 issue away from the end of World War Wendigo so it wasn't about that.
I genuinely think we're gonna see AF in this whole Secret Wars Battle Wars/Last Days thing, either as a oneshot, part of an anthology or guest appearance.
Not much news one way or the other but speculation could be right. If they do appear in Secret Wars I'm guessing it'll either be not good, again, or as background characters, not using Sasquatch's brains, Guardian's, or any of the other characters strong abilities or power sets. Yes, I'm pessimistic.
Probably with good reason (being pessimistic). Because at the end of the latest New Warriors series (which was GREAT! So pissed it got canned...) - anyway, they say at the very end, "Don't worry - you will be seeing some of them very soon! Sooner than you'd expect!"Quote:

From the little I've seen of the Secret Wars alternate realities, one of them could be based on the Sphinx's from the original series.Quote:

Yeah, that sounds about right.
You're not the only ones thinking it:

Yes, I thought I saw Horus (well, 'somebody from that world' in my head) in one of the pictures!
Thanks, Phil.
Secret Wars is actually starting to look interesting to me. Go figure.

So, no information.
I'm not sure that 'this character will show up' counts as a spoiler, though. (It can, admittedly, but unless Alpha Flight's appearance is climactic, suspenseful, and explains a lot, I doubt that applies here. Oh! But wouldn't that be COOOL!!!)
Is anybody here planning to buy them all, whether AF show up or not?

I'll get the main LS but only AF appearing spin offs/tie-ins.
Cool! Let us know if AF show up (as if I need to tell you that. :P)
I'm actually tempted to get it myself, but pretty undecided right now.

Not AF related I know, but hey; we're all friends and fans of the underdog here...
Cool! It's not just an underdog thing; for some reason, there's a lot of New Warriors / Alpha Flight love crossover. (ie: Many of us are fans of both.)
If they're bringing back Night Nurse & Millie The Model, SURELY they're bringing AF back???http://marvel.com/news/comics/24031/...t_wars_journal
... Are they Administrative Night Nurses?
(Little Black Books joke there...)
Hasn't she appeared in the last couple of years? Like, Daredevil, or Luke Cage, or someone like that needed medical attention and went to her?

Well, "Alpha Flight"'s return may be tied to this (and thus not really Alpha Flight, but several Alpha Flight members)...
