Some Alpha Flight appearances

[michael herko]

Noticed that you have Wolverine (2010) #6 on your list with Puck being in the issue. Recently purchased the issue without looking first and could not find Puck in the issue at all. Thinking maybe I had the wrong issue (since the date in the comic was 2011) I went hunting for another Wolverine #6 published in 2010 (unsuccessfully). Went back to your list and noticed that you had listed #2-5 as well - which seem to refer to when Wolverine and Puck were in Hell. This matches up with the issues you have listed (even though all have 2011 dates. I rechecked #6 for Puck again and still can't find him. Is this the right issue/storyline and if so where in the world is Puck.

2010 refers to the Volume as that's the cover date of #1.
Puck's in 16, rather than 6.

Thanks for the info. Now it makes sense, and I notice that Wolverine #6 is now off your list. By the way, what are the requirements for inclusions in the appearance section? I have a list of other "comics" that have Alpha Flight shown, but many of them are just showing panels from previous comics, for example - some of the Marvel Spotlights, Marvel Previews, Marvel Ages, etc.

Michael, Phil tends to only include continuity appearances. If you have a list of other comics, I'd LOVE to see the list. Go ahead and post it here!

Yeah, the database is just for Original Artwork + Information, so reproduced panels don't count.
I'd like to add in all the Marvel Age calendar caricatures at some point though, as they do count.

I'll see if I can find my list. I may have o edit it since many of them may just be showing older panels. I do have a lit of the Marvel Ages which had these. I know at least one of them was a calendar caricature.

I know Rob's showcased a few on his great site (link in his sig just above) so there are definitely a few.

Yeah... I've just picked up a couple of appearances on my list that were, like, single floating heads in one panel of one page. I wish I knew in advance which is which.

The wiki should help with that and I'll make a dent in it soon.
April-June are the busiest months of my working year so my entries have been pretty erratic but I've got 4 week's holiday in July or August so I'll crack on then.

The few I've done will show what I mean.

[Le Messor]

Yep, the ones you've put up lately tell me if it's a major appearance, a cameo, or whatever.

Thanks.

Yup; Phil, you're doing a bang-up job on all those.

[Le Messor]

Cute!
I've just dug up a reference that I haven't seen mentioned before (that I remember).
There was kind of a crossword in an issue of X-Men Unlimited (original series), that had two Alpha-related clues.
I may get less vague about it later.

Original Sin #0 came out today with a small cameo from The Master, Puck and Guardian in an insane 2pg spread of awesome. $4.99 price point not very good, Marvel. Usually #0 issues go for $0.99, right?

Also check out the Paolo Rivera variant which is a darn cool image of the Watcher.
