alpha flight returns in chaos war!!!

[Mokole]

It could be Marrina, after her latest death just doesn't want to go through it again; or Shaman, who wants to stay out of Talisman's way; or a Hudson, who resents how they were brought back.

Maybe it's Snowbird. She's killed Sasquatch in the past on orders from her family. It could be the gods aren't happy with how AF is brought back and feel they should remain dead.

It's the Purple Girl (hey, they didn't say a CURRENT member of AF was unhappy with the resurrections...); she is still mad at Whitman for dumping her, so she wants all of AF dead, dead, dead. lol.

Someone from Alpha Flight wants the (dead) members of Alpha Flight to stay dead? I wish I were above saying "I told you not to get your hopes up too high," but this doesn't sound promising, to me. I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe it's just me being overly optimistic, but with comic book sales slipping I can't believe even Joe Q would be dumb enough to kill off a new source of sales. We've literally spent years telling Marvel what we want and it sounds like we're finally going to get it (well at least a one-shot of it). But if this is a "one and you're done" then all they will have accomplished with this is to piss off and alienate a hardcore group of customers, and I for one will wash my hands of Marvel comics once and for all.
However, this one-shot, IMO, is just a way to bring back AF so that, if sales warrant it, there can be an ongoing. Unless they're lying (yes, I know their track record) they've even said as much, so I don't think AF will be killed off at the end. More than likely the team will end up at a crossroads where they have to decide what they do with their new lives, setting everything up for an ongoing or at least leaving it off that the characters are back in the rotation.

I agree, Legerd. But at the same time, I never count my Canadian chickens until the Marvel execs have gotten their feathered butts off of them! "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

[suzene]

It's probably too optimistic to hope that AF's going to get an ongoing out of this. But if the response is good, Marvel might go the "series of mini-series" route with it, like they did for GLA, Prince of Power, Power Pack, etc. That'd suit me just fine.

[mos_def]

i agree. the ghost rider mini and winter guard mini were good reads ( though I dont know what happened to Vostok and Perun) A mini here and there is better then no AF

[DaVeO]

Definitely would be a start. I just put up a new post concerning The Enigma Force in the Other Comics section. The reason I mention it is because the Enigma Force is made up of most of the core team of The Micronauts. Remember them? This will be their second mini-series both tied to but easily read separately from the Hulk books. Seems like a gradual build up to a possible ongoing to me and if they take this road with Alpha Flight it's fine with me also.

I'm having to reign myself in too...I'd hate to get too excited about Alpha coming back (and I was really getting excited about it), only to have Marvel yank them away again (if such a thing happens). I'm going to try and just face things as they come (good or bad) and enjoy what I can from it.

But is it... a Dark Reign?

No, I didn't just say that. Really.

HA!

I have a poster of that.

And now I AM a poster about that!

Dana, please update me. Hopefully, they are coming back for good.

Nobody knows for sure. Not yet.
