    I got the first two issues but honestly I thought they weren't that good, mainly the dialogue felt dated to me. I did try though and I REALLY wanted to like them. Alas not to be.
    The world is NOT getting more Alpha Flight! Tweet me you twits! @DaVeO52

    I dug them (digged them?). For me, the "alas" comes in the fact that they are taking so bloody long to get the third issue out!

    Some of them are old Canadian comic book charaters from the 40's and so forth. Johnny Canuck useto be a book back in the 40's and Nanook was also a Canadian book, but from when i don't remember.

    Moonstone has canceled the series. Hmmm another Canadian related comic series cancelled!

    I've asked David Cutler, the artist, if he or Ty Templeton, the writer, will be able to release the final issue.

    While it was not Alpha Flight, the concept was sound, and Canadian.

    Nearly, but not quite. All of them are Golden Age characters from Canadian comics, except for Nanook, though she has some similarities to the Golden Age character Nelvanna.

    Oh man, seriously? I was really enjoying that book. It was the closest most people will ever get to reading those Golden Age characters (Freelance, Commander Steel, Nanook) and I was hoping to see more of those classic-issue reprints in the back.

    Yeah I was liking the series and the reprints, as well.

    I even picked up some original art from issue #1.

    Very disappointed that the series appears to have been abandoned.

    Sucks to have an uncompleted storyline, just leave it hanging...

    THAT's a stretch, Phil. NOTHING can do that. Even in comics, where the impossible is possible, that can't happen.

    And this, my friends, is why I read manga now. Only once have I had something just kind of 'stop' like that, and it was an obscure Korean series. (still broke my heart, though)

    Marvel; Strong surprise; astonishment. To become filled with wonder or astonishment. To feel amazement or bewilderment at or about.

    Well, that says it all, ES, doesn't it? I'm astonished at their treatment of their fans, I wonder how they heck they stay in business, and i'm bewildered why i should even care anymore.

    Sorry to hear a comic broke your heart. At least you've still got Alpha Fli...well, sort of, for a bit?

    (I've been so down about things, i haven't even wrote a review of issue 4 yet. Seems pointless.)

    This is how they're staying in business; Cutbacks across the board.

    Everything follows cycles in this industry, and changes have to be made before there's another bankrupcy.

    The good times will follow the bad though, and repeat anon.
