How the Great Beasts are going to work in, I have no idea. It looks to be alphabetically between "Crimson Dynamo" and "Elements of Doom". Richard Easton? He's in that range, alphabetically. I doubt he'd get an entry, though. Earthmover is in that range too. Those are my guesses for now. I have vol 3 on order anyway.
BTW, Sasquatch makes an appearance in Volume 2 of this series in the Contest of Champions entry. Wow, it's been 26 years since that series came out. Glad I picked it up!

Ok I just saw a listing of entries for volume 3, and I still can't find where the Great Beasts fit in.
Centennial and Diamond Lil have entries, and the Alpha Flight-related entries (Deadly Earnest and Crystar) from the 80s Legacy Handbook are reprinted. I will get it this weekend and scour it for Great Beastlies.

They have them listed in the "Demons" section.Ok I just saw a listing of entries for volume 3, and I still can't find where the Great Beasts fit in
Ok finally, I got v3. Here is a listing of AF appearances:
Centennial
Crystar (Puck, Northstar and Shaman appear)
Deadly Ernest (Puck appears)
Demons (all 7 Great Beasts, plus headshots of the Dream Queen and Zilla Char)
Desert Sword (Raazer)
Diamond Lil
Earth X (Guardian and Sasquatch appear)
An impressive showing this issue for Alpha Flight. I'm especially impressed that the Great Beasts got such nice illustrations given the overwhelming number of Demons named in that entry. Good job writers, identifying Tanaraq's 1st appearance as UXM #120.
Earthmover is skipped alphabetically but is sure to be included in v4 as a half-page entry.

Yup, with a slightly better picture.Originally Posted by rplass
Seeing as how v5 is coming out tomorrow, I really ought to mention who was in v4!
Earthmover - 1/2pg entry
Flex - 1/2pg entry
Guardian (Mac) - 3pg entry and appears on the cover
and in the Exiles group entry, alt. Heather Hudson and alt. Sasquatch are in a few pictures.

I would like to know why they passed up Flashback? He could have at least had a half page entry.
Probably because they already included him, in passing, in the Alpha Flight entry from volume 1 of this series. It is also entirely possible that Omega Flight will get an entry, which should include the other two incarnations of the group, giving him two group entries. Otherwise, he's just too minor of a character to have his own entry, I think. Try asking the writers over at the official thread at comixfan.com. if you want the official story!

Yesterday I got the OHOTMU vol. 5 hardcover and they had an entry for the Inua(Northern Gods) with its members Hodiak, Negafok, Nelvanna, Sedna, Snowbird[Narya] & Turoq.
The really cool part about the Inua page is that it's one of the very, very few NEW entries in the HC handbooks. Nearly 100% of the entries are reprinted from previous handbooks, expanded or updated, reorganized, but there are hardly any new entries at all, so I think it's quite impressive! Since the Great Beasts were nicely shown in vol.3, it's only fitting to show the good guys, too!

The Great Beasts had an entry? I got to pick that up?
They didn't have their own entry. They were mentioned in the giant 9-pg expanded entry (!) for "Demons" in v3 and had two illustrations. There weren't many illustrations, so we got lucky on that.
And what do you mean, "got to pick that up?" You should already have it, you are falling behind! heh

Heh! I have that issue, I thought they got an entry like say Spider-Man gets talking about his powers and what not.
Maybe one day

How big was the Northern Gods entry?
They had a full page with pics of Hodiak, Nelvanna, Sedna, Turoq, and Narya.How big was the Northern Gods entry?
Yeah, the Narya pic was from her recent appearance in Incredible Hercules.
There was also a headshot of Sasquatch in the Howling Commandos entry, and a full-page entry for alt-Sasquatch from Exiles.
