Well, the link leads to a blank page, so...not really sure if i like it or not, cuz i can't read it!
Newsarama doesn't necessarily make it the truth.
We've seen a cover for #9 and it seems weird to announce an ongoing & then turn turtle on that decision.
However it would explain why the "of 8" hasn't gone on #5 and it was always expected...
Who knows...
What? Come on! That blows! I hope we at least get a mini per year or something like that now!
Dale Eaglesham seems to be confirming on Twitter.
Sad news if true as I thought this was the best version of Alpha Flight in almost twenty-five years.
Oh, this makes perfect sense.
They let volume 2, which was mildly interesting at its best, go for 24 issues.
They let volume 3, which was a total abomination, go for 12 issues.
Now we have volume 4, with some of the best artwork and plots since the early days of Byrne... and they cancel it after 8 issues.
If I may quote Marrina... WTF ?!?
Confirmed via solicits.
Article to cone ASAP.
Dumb, why make the announcement and then cancel it? I HOPE they mean the limited series is done and then the on-going will go on with #1
im really confused and im wondering if this is just a solicitation thing. they have been wrong before. it makes no sense and the sales are stronger than generation hope, thunderbolts and x-factor (ar at least on par with) plus they JUST announced it as a ongoing 2 months ago.
wish fred or greg would confirm or deny this.
Dale's pretty much confirmed on twitter.
After yesterday's firing of 14 members of staff I did fear as much, but at least making it to #9. I suppose they have to use the variant somewhere,
As much as I hate to say it, it makes sense and I didn't think it'd make it past #12.
It just seems like Marvel had a con in Canada and wanted to give the sales a temporary spike and didn't want to take **** from fans all weekend so announced an ongoing they were never going to keep.
I just genuinely wish they hadn't, as I was fine with a well done, maxi-series.
I'm officially done with Marvel.
If there is an upside to this, it is 32 pages so it's gonna be some doozy of a final issue battle, (speculative :-) , could be 32 pages of talking heads).
