The softer face, eye color and body language are all pointing to the one returning to the bar being Jeanne-Marie, and not Aurora.
I would be more worried about Walt's not being able to change to Sasquatch, if it weren't for the preview of future covers showing Sasquatch. Although that doesn't mean its necessarily Walt. It could be one of those real Sasquatches from v.2.
I wonder why Walt can't change? Did the gamma ray burst from the Box robot sever his connection to Tanaraq? Or was Brown telling the truth and this is a symptom of his "brain damage"?

I'm guessing its temporary, probably a side-effect of whatever they were planning to do to him before he escaped.

Also, the slip up of "Aurora" almost replying in French, which is Jeanne-Marie's preference (as was hammered at us throughout the mini so far).Quote:

Above is my review on Issue 4.
I agree with Bigbloo on this one. Which would negate the fact that whomever is behind this doesn't themselves have to be "older than the earth" or whatever.Quote:
Given that this is a Fear Itself tie-in, I would assume that the old one being referred to is The Serpent. So I'm thinking this Unity thing may have a mystical angle.
So, all of you guessing the Master because he is really old...I think you have it wrong.
Did nobody notice Aurora's eyes kept changing colour, from her natural blue to brown? Anybody else notice that Heather's eyes have changed, from blue to brown as well?
Speaking of mind-controlling villains who hate Alpha Flight...anybody notice in Volume 2, issue 4 (or was it 5?), that Mesmero's victims, their eyes change colour?
Y'know, Mesmero - faced off against Alpha Flight twice, and lost both times, in Volume 1 and Volume 2. Mesmero, y'know...he takes control of many people at once, and he can keep control of them even for months at a time?
Y'know...Mesmero?
Anybody? Anybody?
Bueller?...Bueller?...Anybody?...
Sorry, i didn't see the cave drawing that way. Walter cannot transform, because (a) he was hit with and overloaded with gamma radiation of some sort and since gamma radiation was what caused his transformation to Sasquatch (if that form had not been nearby while he was experimenting, then he probably would have transformed into some other gamma-powered creature), and (b) he was drugged up.Quote:
Was the drawing at Ranark cave a depiction of Tanaraq? perhaps linked to Walter not being able to transform?
Let's remember Fred said he'd never read anything after Byrne & Mantlo.Quote:

I dunno, I've always taken it to mean he hasn't read anything Alpha after Byrne & Mantlo... v2 would certainly qualify.Quote:

But on that, I agree. Mesmero was around long before Alpha Flight.Quote:

Who is home from work today because the building was closed down because of an explosion in a nearby suburb.
My only regret is finding out after my 30km bike ride.
But has no one noticed that Heather's eye colour changed as well as Aurora's? Heather's eyes also went from blue to brown.
I hadn't noticed that, but it took me ages and ages and ages to figure out that 'Deathstryke''s eye colour in X-Men 2 was a sign of her mind control.Quote:

Which is odd, because Heather's eyes have always been green.Quote:

As for Heather's eyes being green... :eek: ...maybe we need to be questioning the colorist?!? Either that, or something VERY strange is going on here!
Volume 2 contact lenses?
Yeah, I'm thinking that her eyes are supposed to be blue in this series, as it doesn't make a lot of sense for Claire to be blue-eyed but have no blue-eyed parent. I mean, you'd think Mac might have maybe wanted to run down to America and check out Madison's eye colour after she was born, if that were the case?
I'm not sure whether this is a lack of proper research on eye colours, or what...but it is adding to my confusion. If this is a goof-up, it is the first one of this series that will make me 'mildly' unhappy.
Oops, i take this back. Mac's eyes are clearly blue. For some reason I thought I remembered them being brown?
Besides which, she's a newborn (or very young) infant. They often have blue eyes, whatever their parents' colour.Quote:

Also, blue eyes are a recessive gene, and brown dominant; therefore, there's no reason a brown-eyed girl couldn't have a blue-eyed baby.
Also, blue eyes, baby's got blue eyes.
OTOH, nobody knows what it's like to be the bad guy, to be the sad guy, behind blue eyes.
So, in conclusion: I like classic rock.

Mac's eyes are brown, it's more colorist errors.Quote:

#5 is slated to come out on 12/10/2011, but remember, delays can happen so that date is not set in stone.
oh geez. my apologies for starting something. sigh...Quote:

It's okay. Attachment 1496 APPROVES OF THIS THREAD
Technically, Mesmero controlled Alpha Flight to a draw in volume 2. He left on his own accord. The new team (with the exception of Man-Bot...Man-bot!) couldn't resist Mesmero's power...not even "Murmur". Not even a little bit. Not even an attempt. Not even an effort.Quote:
