Re: Alpha Flight Questionnaire
1. How long have you been collecting Alpha Flight??
Since Vol 1 #6
2. What was your first memory of Alpha Flight? If recent, what was your first reaction?
Uncanny X-Men #139 - 140. The earlier issues that featured AF didn't make it to the UK in large numbers due to sea frieght problems or something, so I didn't read that appearence for years. My abiding memory of that has to be Nightcrawler jumping up on Wolvie as SnowBear comes through the door.
3. Who is you favorite Alpha Flight character?
Probably Heather
4. Who is you least favorite Alpha Flight character?
Was Radius, but unfortunately he died :-) so I would now opt for Murmur

Pestilence

Razaar
7. What do you think is the best issue / story-arch from Alpha Flight?
The Search for Langowski vol 1 #23-24

Heather in original armour
Snowbird
Puck (original)
Sasquatch
Maddy Jeffries as Box
Nemesis
Windshear
9. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one member of Alpha Flight, Who would it be (powers can not get you off the island)
Puck, no matter how long you were stranded, you would never tire of listening to his life stories.
10. Who was/is/could be the best leader of Alpha Flight?
Heather, experience and humanity, also willing to confront interfering authority when needed.
11. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight writer?
Byrne
12. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight writer?
Mantlo
13. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight artist?
Toss up between Byrne and Brodderick

Calimee makes it to the winning post, just in front of Dunc.

Kidnapping and hypnotizing of Maddy, plus most of vol 2 :-)
Re: Alpha Flight Questionnaire
1. How long have you been collecting Alpha Flight?
Since Volume 1, Issue 12.
2. What was your first memory of Alpha Flight? If recent, what was your first reaction?
I'll never forget seeing Alpha Flight for the first time in an ad promoting #12 that was in an issue of Fantastic Four. They looked like such a cool cast of characters and the fact that one of them wasn't going to survive was really new and different from anything I had read up until then. I had only read Fantastic Four as a kid, so Alpha Flight was radically different.
3. Who is you favorite Alpha Flight character?
This is a tough one. I really like Puck when he is the true rough & tough Byrne version. Marrina is a close second.
4. Who is you least favorite Alpha Flight character?
Another tough one. Manbot never made sense to me. Murmur was an unnecessary alternate version of Persuasion.
5. Who is you favorite Alpha Flight villain?
The Master. This guy has always had the potential to be another Doctor Doom-class villain, given the right treatment.
6. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight villain?
Llan the Sorcerer - maybe if there had been less editorial involvement & a better artist, he would have been good, but as it is - LAME.
7. What do you think is the best issue / story-arch from Alpha Flight?
X-men 120-121 was excellent. In the series itself, probably #12.
8. What do you consider the Alpha Flight "Dream Team"?
The classic line-up, with the Beta & Gamma members around for a little variety.
9. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one member of Alpha Flight, Who would it be (powers can not get you off the island)
Shaman. Maybe his powers couldn't get us off of the island, but he'd be able to conjure sustenance for us.
Or maybe Aurora, if you wanted to be sure that there would be more people to talk to. Hehe :D
10. Who was/is/could be the best leader of Alpha Flight?
I think Puck would make a great leader. Always have.
11. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight writer?
I know I'm in the minority, but I really liked Steve Seagle. i think he was really going to take the team places in regards to gaining some respect if he had been given the chance.
Byrne will always be my favorite, but the fact that the guy disses Alpha Flight and his work on it has left a bad taste in my mouth.
12. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight writer?
Mantlo. 'Nuff said.
13. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight artist?
Jim Lee. (After Byrne.)
14. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight artist?
John Calimee.
15. If you could undo one thing in Alpha Flight history, what would it be?
The resurrection of Guardian. That began the worst trend in Alpha history...Guardian - the REAL phoenix.

Which is exactly what I thought - what was the point of inventing a new character when there was already a suitable character in the AF universe.
