Cyclops is still bitter that Northstar fights smarter than he does.

I gotta say that originally we were all just begging for 1 more Alpha story that didn't suck to high heaven. With the CW one shot we got that story. I'd like to think that when they killed off the Flight in Avengers they chose them because their death would come as a shock. They may not be held in high regards to many but like it or not they are Canada's version of the Avengers and to have them killed off panel was to show just how powerful the Collective was. It was a plotline used to shock, and it did. It cheesed us off, it made us say NFW did they just do that! Fast forward a couple of years and Marvel comes along with a mini series/event. They decide to resurrect Alpha Flight in this story. They didn't have to because (as someone else posted here) in CW#5 they could have been any other heroes put in those panels. But the fact still remains that they did revive Alpha. Whether it is an admission of a mistake (killing them off in the first place) or a way of placating the thousands of Alpha fans, I say we take it for what it is. CW-Alpha Flight was a decent story which brought back what a majority deems to be the best lineup the comic ever had. If there are plans for AF, great, if not then atleast they gave us a story that satisfies to a certain degree. Yes I would like to see more of them but it won't be in their own series, it will be as guest starring roles in the X-men or Avengers. Let's just be happy that they brought them back for now and hope that sometime in the future they get to see the light of day again in print.

Alpha wouldn't have that self-centered #@&%! anyway.
