~I woke up one morning finally seeing the world through a rose colored lense. It turned out to be a blood hemorrhage in my good eye.
Actually, I'd forgotten. Hm...
I've been assuming, too. It seems really unlikely that they wouldn't know - especially since, as BigBloo mentioned, they found out he unleashed Bedlam.
That said, MAC having a problem with someone coming back from the dead?

"I’d love to, but I prefer to remain an enigma."
i loved the purple people monster and could care less about the physics that go into it and i love marinas new attitude. she is a teenager revolting against the establishment and trying to find herself. we have all been there.
i have 0% complaints about this issue. 0.000000%
I finally picked up my copy of 0.1 at my LCS today - was too busy last week to visit even though every molecule in my body wanted to.
Good news: my LCS sold out of the issue and will be ordering more. Yay.
More good news: I loved it. Even though I'd read the preview pages (about 7 of them online), I took the time to re-read before segueing into the rest of the story. Like Varo, I have 0 complaints. Zero. This is Alpha Flight back the way it's meant to be.
And I loved the non-action scenes: Mac and Heather on their day off, Northstar and Kyle in their apartment.
Bring on #1 is all I can say, and let's hope that it continues on to #9 and beyond!
Could we get these reviews (including your own!) blobbed together into a "#0.1 Review Dump" post? And do that for each subsequent issue as they are posted, something like that.
EDIT- Good idea Rob; See http://www.alphaflight.net/showthrea...ilation-Thread - Phil

Anybody know how well they did with Jean Paul's Quebecois French?...Sylvie? I was wondering about that.
Oh...And I also love that Heather appears to be using an electro-magnetic suit, Like Mac...I won't miss the Geo suit, really.

ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
FYI - Some answers from the creators:
1. When Aurora shrugged off Citadel, was she just moving her hand at top speed to shake up/damage his arm within the adamantium or was she using the power shown in the Weapon X series where she could actually increase the velocity of another object? There has been a little debate as to what occurred in that situation.
The former.
2. I always assumed that the Hudsons knew that Gary Cody had been killed by Bedlam. I admit that I can't remember if this was ever acknowledged in the series though. Is it safe to assume that they didn't know, hence why they are not bothered that he is running for office? Or are they just resigned to the fact that other dead people have returned to the land of the living as well, such as Citadel?
These, along with a couple other niggling continuity things, are generally ignored so newbies aren't completely lost. We want to introduce as many new fans as we can to the Flight without them requiring a PhD in Flightology. For one thing, if memory serves, Bedlam didn't kill Cody, he rendered him brain dead. But to answer your question directly -- more the latter. The Hudson (particularly Mac) have come back from the dead themselves, along with Marrina and Shaman, the return of Cody, to them, is not hugely noteworthy.
So all my study was for nothing?
LOL! I love it!

"I’d love to, but I’m going through cherry cheesecake withdrawal."
It should be ok. I remember reading over at Eaglesham's Alpha Club forum that his wife was a Quebecois and was proofreading the French parts/
Now Showing "Return from LurkWorld 3:Can I Have A Life Please?"
I'm only asking, because one of the more recent reviews bashed the use of french in the comic (and Eaglesham himself, is also originally from Quebec...According to the interview).

I think the review bashed the fact that there was one French line where as the rest were English and if you're going to translate one they should all be translated, in order to make sense.
If I can find the link again, I'll post it. The reviewer did comment on the use of French in the middle of a mostly English sentence (as you mention, Phil), but they also bashed the use of French as being inaccurate (to the effect of them not even existing as words). It was a fairly negative review, IIRC.

Whoops! I totally apologize....It was a comment I read on Marvel.com forums, that I was thinking of...Sorry, guys. It was in the 0.1 comment thread...A reader goes a bit mental on the French, saying it was made up and that people also don't use french words in the middle of speaking English (I disagree with him on a technicality...Many of the words we English-speakers use have their origins in French).

Again, sorry...I totally misremembered it as being a review (in a sense it is a sort of review).

I do, and it's hardly my native language.
I remember one word - no more - that I thought might be misspelled ('j'ai' instead of 'j'ais') but my French isn't that great, and the spelling mistake is probably mine.

"I’d love to, but I’ve been traded to Cincinnati."
In the south parts of New-Brunswick, Acadians consistently use French and English mixed together to form sentences. It is very common! They call it "chiac" while most people say "Franglais". That reader clearly lives in a English dominated or French Québec dominated area!
