How would people feel if...

Puck has been to Hell, who is to say he's not made a deal or two....

For every "good" person* saved, a "bad" person* has to be saved, too (*characters in Alpha Flight; for example, if Judd makes a deal to bring Roger Bochs back, he also has to bring back somebody like Jerry Jaxon)

Should they do a mixture of members from the different versions of AF or just stick to the original members? I wish they would do a Puck/Puck II mini-series! lol

The only characters other than the originals I could see making an appearance early on are Zuzha Yu and Lou Sadler, Jr..

I'd prefer them to start with the originals, then bring in other characters in time, as needed.

When volume 4 was previewed, and it had a roster with characters that had the same names as every character that was in volume 1 # 1, plus it tied in with why Marrina would be especially incensed at Attuma...I thought finally Alpha Flight was going to be restored! But then the printed version was slightly different from the preview, and...well...volume 4 is what it is.

How would you name the Puck/Puck II miniseries? Meet the Pucks? Puck Yu?

I'd vote for Puck Yu, but I don't know if it would sell enough.

That's a great idea!

Which one is that again?

Oh, that'd sell.
(And it's a brilliant pun.)

I have some down time this weekend I planned to go see what issues I am missing and hope to go to a couple stores in searching of AF. The nearest store is an hour away from where I live. but with that said, I did find the TPB of The Gift and the Spiderman/AF team up recently.

The most recent issues I read where the 4-part miniseries that had to deal with Her (I actually only read 2 issues of that so far) but that seems to be good so far.

and I read the Amazing X-Men/ AF Wendigo event.

Do you live within the US? If so - let me know what issues you're missing. I may be able to find some and send them your way.

I recently read West Coast Avengers issues (I forget what issue numbers they were but it was a two-part.) Anyway, I got the issues based on the idea that somehow that AF would be doing a guest appearance since it involved AWC and Wolverine in Canada and Russian's were plotting to start a cold war. Well no AF and they made U.S. Agent seem goofy. end of rant.

Which was New Warriors v2 again? Was it the one during Erik Larsen's Nova?

Yup, written by Jay Faerber, who (as a fan, before his writing career) was on the original Alpha Waves list that eventually led to this board!

^^ This.

And I actually enjoyed Jay's run - but you could tell something was happening in the background.

Jay's run was infinitely better than the "X-Mutants New Warriors"... Which COULD have been interesting, except their artist was beyond horrible - you literally could not tell the characters apart when they were out of costume.

[Phil]

I remember Jay originally wanted to use Clone-Mac from AF Vol.2 but the idea got nixed.

[Le Messor]

I seem to remember that, too.

By the "X-Mutants New Warriors", do you mean the latest version? With Jubilee?
I keep that one separate to my other runs of New Warriors, because it's a completely different book.

I don't think I knew Jay was on the original list. And yet, I was.

I remember hearing that too. I wonder how that would have played out. Would he have used Clone-Mac as the leader of the New Warriors? That might have felt weird. It would have felt like Alpha Flight - especially if Clone-Mac was still wearing the Vindicator/Guardian armor.

There's been a version of the New Warriors since then. Done by Christopher Yost (writer) and Marcus To (artist).

I can not say enough good things about that run (with Yost & To). It's a shame that the title did not get to complete it's run (they had laid out story elements, that didn't get to see fruition because Marvel asked them to close the series at issue 12 - so at least they got to wrap up the series - but they certainly left some story elements dangling!)

Of course! The Sungirl / Inhumans one. I think I keep that with the original serieses.

I actually enjoyed V3. That's not saying much as that is the only volume I have been able to read from start to end with the help of the TBPs being on sale. I was skipping around reading V1 due to the order I was buying the back issues as I find them and I still have a few big gaps in my V1 collection to fill. My favorite so far has been the team-up of F4 and the scrambled eggs attacking. With AF having tribal related characters also helped keep my interest. the only crazy moment I have had and got me going...WTH...is when Walter is a woman. Which I labeled the Caitlyn Issue. sorry to be off topic. Bring back dead Puck II!
