Okay, thanks for that, Phil!
Interesting that FVL chose to include a Volume 3 reference, yet claims to have stopped reading AF at around issue 50 of Volume 1...

Major Maple Leaf II: "And Centennial and Nemesis were at last reunited, and we all lived happily ever after. What? Tell the story again? Okay. Sasquatch came to me telling me I need to go back in time to stop Guardian from getting killed..."
(Two interns looking through a small window, watching a strait jacketed Major Maple Leaf speaking to no one)
Intern 1: Poor guy. Only one mission with Alpha Flight and his mind snaps under the pressure.
Intern 2: Yeah...thinks he had this whole time travel adventure and tells the story over and over again. You ever listen to his nonsense?
Intern 1: A couple times. Can you imagine...Snowbird and that Jack guy getting married? She would have turned into a polar bear and mauled that $*%$# if he even tried hitting on her...
The End.
There. Takes care of. Any future writer doesn't have to use any of it as canon, instead it was merely the ramblings of an insane man. However, if a future writer wants to reference it, they can say him mind snapped after vol. 3 but just nobody believes it actually happened (and those involved aren't saying otherwise!).
Love it. Have you ever thought about applying as a writer for Marvel... that's better than some of their stuff. :)
If anyone remembers the old TV show "Dallas", they wrote off an entire season as a "dream".
Hey, if it's good enough for JR Ewing, its good enough for vol. 3. :)
I treated myself about a year ago to the HC of Clandestine (first series). It reprinted 1-8 and the X-Men - Clandestine two part limited. The Last four issues of the first series have been discarded and are considered nothing more than a Dream by Rory. I can live with that. All that brings me to the point, that I would love to see Clandestine appear in Alpha at some point as part of the Commonwealth of Heroes. A person can dream, can't they ? :-)
I have the second as well (HC), but will admit to having only read it once. As for floppies I have the first series, but somehow missed the second.
The second kinda slipped under the radar. It was still good, but some of the conclusions (I'd been waiting fifteen years for!) were a let-down.

"The future is not what it used to be. (It never was.)"
That's rhetorical, isn't it? Because, I'm not an expert, but I am willing to do some tests on myself and see....Zzzzzzzzzz...Quote:

Unfortunately, Marvel expects a person to actually earn the right to work for them by getting my own stuff published first. That would entail effort. Crazy Marvel...
I do, however, currently write Alpha Flight for the fanfic site Marvel 2000 (I could probably look up the site address in less time than it is taking me to type this telling you that it would take less time to look it up blah blah blah...but again...the whole 'effort' thing...). My second issue will be posted any day now. My first issue (Alpha Flight Annual 2010) was posted about 10 months ago, after which I took about an 8 month break to deal with some things. A couple months ago stuff finally got resolved and I wanted to dive back into writing. It was my research for my stories (hence my original posts here asking a question about whether Mac was still a cyborg and about why the Hudson's didn't have children for so long) that led me to this site! I've got about 4 more issues in the can and have many more planned!
That's all my long-winded way of saying, "Support the U.S. Men's Bikini Thong Roller Blading Team performing classic plays of the 30's and 40's!" (Let's see if anyone gets that reference!)
There is one character who does have a past with Alpha and is extremely old and also a villan who is able to manipulate quite easily....LOKI!! (the only problem is that he is currently a child/god who is helping Thor). Gee, never thought I would contradict myself quite so quickly. My money is still on the Master.

You have MONEY?!?! Oh, right...you're in Alberta. Silly me!Quote:

Wait...Alberta is a real place? Does that mean this Canada place in Alpha Flight actually exists?!
And here I thought all these years it was a made up place like Metropolis and Gotham City.
Next someone will try to convince me that reality tv is really just lightly scripted dramas, and not real at all!
