Googled "World Weekly News", got "Weekly World News"---a real tabloid (with a Bigfoot photo).Originally Posted by Le Messor
Okay, not the best title-choice. Still think a magazine-style format might work.
Yeah, that's what I thought.
It was either that or News Of The World, with a photo of a giant robot going mad and killing people.
I don't think an Epic-style format would sell in this market, but I do like the idea.
I thought the version of Alpha Flight we got after Chaos War was pretty good. Granted Marinna was a little over the top; but that could have been a story to develop to "calm" her down before she resumes the natural alien form thing. I thought it was a nice, clean, in your face, type of book. A shame it didn't get to become a series.
'nice, clean' AND 'in your face' all at the same time?
How does it do that!?!
It's like shaving and then standing really close to someone.
I enjoyed Vol.4 a lot more than 3, it was definitely a shame to see it go.
Of course! I should've seen it.It's like shaving and then standing really close to someone.
Alpha Flight: Bank robbers
I thought 8 issues of volume 4 was enough to tell that particular story. It really doesn't need to be revisited.
I liked the sleek, crisp artwork of volume 3, 'though I wish Alpha Flight wasn't treated like a joke.
The Alpha Flight/Chaos War one-shot is still good and still a good starting point for another mini-series.
Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."
They were ALPHA FLIGHT....
...once upon a time.
I'd be fine if we got Alpha Flight minis here and there, as long as they were good.
Me, I thought the 20 or so issues of v2 were MORE than enough to tell that particular story. :P

Heh. I didn't like V2 (I remember when I first read it, I thought it was all right - but somewhere on this forum, I discussed re-reading all of my Alpha Flight, and getting to Volume 2 and making it to about the third or fourth issue - and having to stop). For V2 it was a combination of the writing feeling like it was EVERYWHERE and the art just was not my style.
No idea how I got through it when it first came out.
Do wish we got more out of Radius and Flex, since they had origins tied outside of Alpha Flight (Unus and possibly Wolverine... though I'd like to think it was Wolverine's DNA, and not a son Wolverine fathered... because that'd mean their mother had a thing for sleeping with mutants... not that there's anything wrong with that - but two different mutant fathers, both of whom sired mutant children... seems pretty unlikely!)
Me neither, so
Nope.
Flex was one of the few things about v2 I had any liking for, though.

I've still got a lot of love for Vol.2.
It's not Byrne Flight, but then again few things are.
