    I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say I enjoyed these issues, but after issues 29-31, they were at least an improvement.

    #32 is Puck's origin, how he got chopped down by that evil wizard/spirit, then trapped the baddie inside himself. Also debuts Heather as Guardian (soon to be Vindicator).
    #33-34 is Heather visiting...

    I am enjoying the last few issues a bit more, but issues 29-31 were just awful, both writing and art. Mantlo has somewhat redeemed himself in my eyes with issues 32-36 (which is as far as I've...

    Thanks for the recap, Le Messor . It looks like I'll have to pick up Hudnall's run, or at least the first part of it.

    Jim Lee's debut? That's pretty cool. And, you mean, it gets worse? :o I do like some of Mantlo's stuff - The Micronauts is one of my all time favorite comics, Rom was very good, and I enjoyed his...

    Thanks, I'm glad to hear that Heather gets powered up soon.
    I'm up to #31, and still not liking the post-Byrne era so far. I REALLY miss Byrne! The dialogue is bad, and the art is bad, though it...

    I don't see it happening. Too much working against it, I think. Hollywood folks might think nobody cares about Canadian heroes. Plus, it's tough to have a superhero team movie, since Hollywood...

    Right now, I have to go with Mac, but I don't remember Heather as Guardian, and I think that is a long ways away.

    By the way, I just finished #29, the first non-Byrne issue, and it was pretty bad....

    I've got the first 60 issues (of volume 1, natch). Some time around then, I gradually stopped collecting comics.

    Yes, that's a good thing. Hey, death comes with the territory if you're a superhero.
    Nice avatar, by the way.

    I agree, though I think her transformation would have had more impact if we hadn't only known her for one issue at that point.

    1. How long have you been collecting Alpha Flight? I started buying them when #1 came out in 1983.

    2. What was your first memory of Alpha Flight? If recent, what was your first reaction? My...

    Actually, I was totally out of comics for about 15 years, and have only gotten back into them in the past few years, hence my absence from AF for...

    What good stuff has there been since then? As far as Byrne goes, I did enjoy X-Men: The Hidden Years, but that's the only reasonably recent Byrne stuff I've read. As far as other good comics, I...

    Her basically going psycho twice in the first 16 issues, which was virtually all we saw of her, except a few brief scenes in a couple of other issues. She was obviously a sweet girl, but I wish we'd...

    I didn't like what they wound up doing with Marrina. Puck is great, though.

    I bought these when they first came out, and am re-reading them for the first time in decades. Great stuff! I really enjoy Byrne's characterization, and his art (except for women's faces). Of...

    Favorite: Puck. I love the depth of his character. Definitely a case of "you can't judge a book by his cover". I'm currently re-reading Alpha Flight vol. 1 for the first time in decades, and I love...
