Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Crackity Jones]

Nevermind.

[Tawmis]

i do what i want.

Yes, yes you do, and I adore it - as I am sure others too!

Has anyone read the AF Flashback issue or the What If?! I recently purchased those with other back issues

Yes and yes. The WHAT IF was fun, as they usually are, but I don't recall the Flashback being all that good?

Good answer. Hey, this is your thread, and I'm sorry - this table is reserved!

Hey Mekko! I have both the issues Phil posted pictures of, but just to be clear:
Is that the What If...? you meant? It's the most likely one, but Alpha Flight and members of Alpha Flight have been in more than one. (None, though, have been about Alpha... even the one Phil posted is more about the X-Men.)

Nevermind.

I take it you read the top left-handish corner? 'coz if we told you any more, it'd be spoilery.

I wasn't a fan of the Flashback, but at least it was about Alpha Flight!
The What If...? had Alpha Flight completing all the X-Men's adventures, not their own, and was more told than shown.

That's right.
But, seriously, I don't care what people post here. As long as they're not a-holes to me, I'm fine.

Yeah, I had first viewed it on my phone on another board. I didn't notice the smaller print up top. Then I posted it, and STILL didn't see the smaller print up top until AFTER I posted it.
Someone posted it in an X-Factor thread somewhere else, and I thought I was dreaming for a minute: I mean, a mix of X-Factor and Alpha Flight? I don't see it ever happening, but I GOT SUPER EXCITED FOR A SECOND because I thought Marvel really loved me and was going to make allllll my comic dreams come true.

While I have no powers here on this forum, if anyone was ever an a-hole to you, they'd somehow answer to me!

awwww. You're like a 5th older brother to me. Except on the internet. That's kind of awesome. <3

You guys can talk about whatever you'd like. As long as we can talk Alpha Flight occasionally.

And, Chris: One of my other fave characters, Nightcrawler, is back to dating his sister again. And I still think it's gross. Even if they are not blood-related.
I might be too uptight at times for comics? I don't know.

Naw...you're not the only one who is really passionate about Alpha Flight...and the terrible things that have been done to them.

Going off on tangents happens from time to time, but usually somebody brings things back to the original theme.

Or do we have to mention that Heather's name was spelled 2 ways in the same issue? AF# 29: "McNeil" (p. 6) and "MacNeil" (p. 21) "MacNeil" happens a lot throughout the Mantlo era.

I'm still adjusting to the fact that all of the original members are gone (as of #51), Northstar is living with elves (cause he's now a half elf???), Aurora was abandoned in the dark because: HEATHER, Heather is dancing around claiming her AF is better than Mac's, Purple Girl and Manikin are an item, Sasquatch has forgotten that even though he's physically a woman when in human form, he's still Walter in mind and spirit, and suddenly he is flirting with Gary Cody.
Mac is still dead.
Heather is still a freaking disappointment and an idiot.

Everyone is nice here which is why I don't post on sites like Bleedingcool

And Phil and Rob will ban their IP address faster than Northstar can blink.

Jeez, after typing all of that out, I have to wonder why again I am still reading this.

Not even going to check out that link. No more forums for me. Two is plenty.

Because Alpha Flight People are AWESOME.

So, we aren't counting "funny" as a super-power then? Okay, scratch that one off my list.
