Comic Book News Mentions

[Le Messor]

Here's an article that might not be too reliable, but is kinda cool:

Note the Byrne commission of AF fighting Hulk - now in Colour! (I've had the B & W version for a while, never seen it in colour. )

In one (or more?) of the podcast that I do (Comic Relief Podcast), I'd mentioned this would be the best way to introduce Mutants into the MCU (since they shied away from Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver as "Mutants"). Essentially have Hulk in Canada, and Wolverine is sent to take him down before he damages Canada. Introduce the Charles Xavier recruiting Wolverine to form a team at the end of the Hulk movie.

It's a good introduction, and keeps with the comics.

My thought is, maybe the mutants should be some of the blips - people who came back after Thanos' snap, but they came back… wrong. With powers, but people are afraid, because they're essentially revenants.

That would be a pretty good way to introduce mutants. The only downside I'd see is it would be because of the Thanos snap rather than "evolution" which, I think is the foundation of the idea of "Mutants" in the Marvel Universe - and keeps that door open for Magneto to be all, "We're Homo Sapiens, the next evolution of human kind - and soon Homo Sapiens will be the servants and slaves to the world of Homo Superior!"

With Northstar showing up saying, "We don't like the derogatory word of 'homo.'"

Rotfl!

Well, this was random:

[Tawmis]

That was cool...
But didn't see an Alpha Flight mention? Or was there another reference I missed? (Always possible!)
It'd be a great idea... if I didn't have SO many boxes... that would never work in my home office. (Partially because between having too many boxes, most of the room is over taken by Star Wars Legos and He-Man stuff)

You have good eyes - totally missed that! Is that the Alpha Flight #0 thing they did with a bunch of books? That cover isn't ringing any bells for me... Which means, it would be related to Volume 2 for me.

[Le Messor]

"Is that the Alpha Flight #0 thing they did?"

Yep - it's v2, #-1.

I don't even know where I ran into the article, but that just popped right out at me.

[Le Messor]

This article covers a Sasquatch appearance:
https://www.cbr.com/thing-champion-boxing-match/
and mentions him by name. (If you scroll to the very end, you even see him in a panel.)

And this one:
https://www.cbr.com/marvel-dc-final-issues-celebration/
shows the Crystar cover with three of our team-members on it.

May or may not have some Alpha Flight character centric stories....https://www.columbian.com/news/2020/...erican-comics/Though they may think they are stereotypes

[Le Messor]

So, today I went onto CBR.com, and the banner headline was Alpha Flight #1!
(I'd link to it, but by the time most of you read it, they'll have buried the lede.)

Here's the article:

This is definitely NOT a mention, but this guy is speculating about one of Guardian's powers:

I don't have an account to comment, so I haven't added it in there.
