Arrrrrgh!
Arrrrrgh!
ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
Sounds more and more like they lied, but we still don't know for sure.
Yes, let us hang onto that uncertainty!
To be fair, they've never lied, just dodged answers.
Kind of depends on if you interpret implying to an Alpha Flight fan 'we've got good news' when you have the rights to Alpha Flight, then labelling a completely unrelated team Alpha Flight, then announcing a new comic with Alpha Flight in it, then publishing said comic with said team in it while telling the world the new comic has Alpha Flight without saying to anyone 'This is not the Alpha Flight you're looking for' as lying.
(If, yet again, that's what they're doing. We're still not 100% sure it isn't our Alpha Flight. Just sayin' this in case it turns out that it is our Alpha Flight after all.)

When Hope Nicholson asked on Twitter about particular, Canadian Aboriginal/Inuit characters, artist Krista Feranka answered "We haven't revealed who we're using yet, but we are very aware on how we should use them"... Does that not sound like they will be using at least ONE familiar character?

Although the cynic in me assumes it'll just be Puck answering the phones at ground control, ending every transmission with "Over, eh?"
I honestly believe there will be some Alphans.
I think that the original (non-Marvel moderated) panel where the news came out wasn't expected by Marvel and that they did't want the information to be known until the solicit.
When I tweeted to Kris straight after the panel he gave an enthusiastic yes, and then his next Tumblr post was about redesigns and hopefully being able to show them soon.
This was all over the weekend, so my guess is that when Marvel found out they asked for information to be held back, hence the vague answers from Brevoort and Alonso, and relative silence from Anka since then.
All of this creates buzz and fan theory and discussion which is ultimately free advertising, which is what Marvel wants.
Again, all my own speculation. I've got no inside sources on this one.
You told us that at the beginning, didn't you?
It's something I'd forgotten, but it does sound hopeful.
Paul Anka? I mean, he has some good songs 'n' all, but really, what's he got to do with this?
If Alpha are in the book, yes. If it does turn out they aren't, that could backfire on them. Creating an air of disgruntlement.
