The Elf thing was way the frick too far out there. I have no idea what Bill was thinking (and I understand his current state, and all) - but he really did do some damaging things to Alpha Flight. Which is weird, because his ROM and MICRONAUTS were fun reads. But his ALPHA FLIGHT, he seemed like an entirely different writer. I am curious, because I only really know Bill's writing from those three books - both ROM and MICRONAUTS, Bill was building from the ground up. Wonder if he was just looking to do the same with Alpha Flight, and that perhaps with pre-existing characters he didn't do well? Anyone read his Hulk?
