ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
Yeah I'm tad worried as Marvel has yet to release a preview for the issue, which they have done for basically every other Chaos War tie-in
Ummm, K-M- Preview has been out for a few days
Oh nice I didn't even see that. I was looking on newsarama and cbr but didn't see it
EDIT: Wow, for only a few pages it really showed respect to the mythology of Alpha Flight. Great Beasts are some of my favorite villians and their being treated awesome....well so far

Picked up a couple of copies at my LCS and there were only two left on the shelf.

Really good stuff and I think it covers a lot of stuff but still makes it accessible to new readers.
We finally get some mention of the Hudson daughter and I particularly loved Aurora's jab at the X-Men. Also, Northstar saying he thought Heather was a better leader gave me a bit of a chuckle.
It also seems like Marvel is pushing Alpha Flight a bit. The last page is one big ad for Alpha Flight trades and hardcovers so that may bode well for the future.
"How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isnt merely a subtle form of manipulation used to lower peoples expectations, enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation."
mreeez - Are you referring to the Alpha Flight Chaos War One Shot?
Yessiree

Finally, that felt like the real deal. I knew these characters and didn't feel like I had to fanwank away any of their behavior. Everything from Jean-Paul snarking at Walter, to the team being willing to go back to their graves, to Walter taking up his usual role as the team's unusually dim genius, all felt right.
So which petition do I have to sign to get McCann and Brown doing more of this?
I loved it.
Let me say it again.
I LOVED IT!
Talk about showing respect for the team and the characters, both in dialogue, story and art. Especially given the space allotted.
It is a little sad that they sort of closed the door on...

bringing back any of the other dead Alphans, or any mention of Snowbird's son, but then again, a creative writer could works wonders.
This creative team did well. This was well worth the wait.

Holy moly I loved it. I bought two copies and I was shocked how much research they did. Like the 20 minute time limit for the Beasts (hasn't been referenced since AF #1), character portrayls, The hudson\s daughter, and finally Wendigo appearing in an Alpha Flight comic.
Also interesting as it seems Heather has her geothermal powers afterall. haha also loved Snowbird's ice kamehame-ha.
I loved it too (the team reuniting, Shaman mentioning he had kept their spirits from fully crossing over, the baby being mentioned, the Wendigos, Jean Paul giving Heather a hug)...My biggest "what the-!" moments were Heather using geo-powers, which confuses me a bit more about her having her first uniform on (and not the green one she died in) and Marrina mutating all over the place...But whatever, I really enjoyed it regardless.
BTW: I had a copy saved for me and I grabbed another off the shelf (the last one, I think).

I hope to get the issue, but as usual it'll be very tough.
Maybe we can start posting addresses here and email addresses from Marvel, so we can start sending in our desire for an AF ongoing now that AF Chaos War is out, and apparently VERY good.
I have no addresses, in other words.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
This is killing me. I work 4 ten hour days. My day off is Thurs. Which is Thanksgiving. The comic store is closed. My next day off is Saturday. I have to wait till then to get this.
Argh.
I am PISSED OFF! Was late getting to my LCS, because I had to go to physio after work, but when I finally got there the copy I had ordered had been sold to someone else! Tried another store, but it closed before I arrived. Called my LCS and asked them to put an order in for another copy, but still, they were supposed to hold that one for me.
