Thinking Llan is the devil.

I'm now doubting that it will be Llan or the Dreamqueen...McCann seems rather fond of the Byrne line-up...I'm guessing he's going to use a Byrne villain (which would indicate the Master or Somon/Great Beasts).

Well, if this isn't a clear enough signal:

ANYONE GOING TO FANEXPO GET AFTER MARVEL AND ASK, PROMOTE, SELL ALPHA FLIGHT.

Booths, panels, in the hall or bathroom, get on it! we in western Canada are behind you!

[Alpha Fan]

Wow!!!

I wasn't expecting this but it's the best Marvel news of the year! And it's the return I wanted to see: the original line-up together once again!!!

Now give us a new regular series with McCann writing and Phil Jiménez (my favourite artist next to George Pérez) drawing and it'll be heaven

You know, I haven't bought any thing Marvel since OF. Now, sure, at least this one shot. I had a look and see my kids have Teen Titans, Transformers, Green Lantern, no Marvel either. Guess now maybe they'll see what's what.

Absolutely over the moon about this bit of news. It's really the best bit of Alpha news since... the announcement of Volume 2 back in the 90s.

Hopefully, this will return the "dead" Alphans to the living Marvel Universe. From what I've read of the McCann interviews, it's a case of the dead being returned to life (ie. not as zombies, Black Lanterns and what not)... perhaps more in line with the resurrections at the end of the Blackest Night. If so, then it'll be good to have the original Alphans back in the Marvel Universe, even if they are not featuring in their own ongoing title.

great to see a writer who loves alpha flight maybe he'll conjure a way to resurrect poor bochsie and marrina if not oh well, heres to hoping the one shot leads to an ongoing

Marrina is already included with the resurrectees, Mr F. I too would have liked to have seen other dead Alphans returned (mostly, Bochs and Diamond Lil). I guess Mr McCann only wanted the Alpha Flight Vol.1 Issue 1 Byrne team back. There's always the possibility that Diamond Lil and Bochs would also be booted from the afterlife as well, due to the Chaos War (even if their resurrections aren't shown). Maybe they could be used in later stories? You never know.

I've never actually purchased a new comic before.. I just got second hand version. But THIS I will buy bran spanking new!

Here's a thought, what if it is Talismans wish to have Alpha (and her dad) back. She makes the deal, sacrfices herself for their return and Shaman upon his return to the land of the living and realizing what her daughter (the binder of spirits) has done tries to undo it against everyone else in Alpha's wishes. That could explain the absence of Talisman in the Chaos War art.

From what I've read, this is supposed to reunite the original team and since Talisman is not an original team member, I take it that is why she's not in this.
