Ben, Del...I'm not going to say anything negative about OM...Honest!
I empathize with all of you...This sucks and it's really $h!tty. I was half-hoping that OM (even though I've been against the idea of it) would do well and pave the way for Alpha to return (hopefully, it still can)...But this seems like another attempt to sabotage a Flight book by Marvel, even before it comes out. Joke Quesada really knows how to kill a series/character franchise.
Marvel seems to be going out of it's way to piss off older readers, confuse new ones and irritate and alienate fans of various teams/characters (Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver/Alpha Flight and anything-anyone AF-related/New Warriors/Avengers)....Not to mention having many of their heroes act totally out of character during their Civil War debacle. This is one of the biggest reasons why the Handbooks are the only Marvel books I usually buy....Sigh.
