I don't mind it either, tbh. Thought it's far from my favourite story.
I've never seen those two movies. Just some of the highlights from Jason X. The horror aspects were a mandate from above.
I agree that it was the worst art in AF history... and that some later people drew Sas like they'd never seen him before; but I think the rest of the art on those runs was okay.
Just okay. Not good, but serviceable.
Heather especially.

Mum, can Hobbes and I rent a VCR and a tape tonight?
Mum: I don't think so Calvin. It's a school night.
Calvin: What if we got an education tape?
Mum: Like what?
Calvin: "Cannibal Stewardess Vixens Unchained."
Now you're all just punking me! LOL
I enjoy the original 5 or 6 Friday the 13th's for what they were. Brainless slasher flicks. But when Jason goes to Hell and fights there... and then when he gets shot into space, and starts killing people on a space station... then they haven't just jumped the shark, they have jumped the solar system...
I agree.
Something is very wrong with you... LOL
Honestly, you do. I think you have some good reading ahead of you.
Think of it this way, most people regard Bill's run the worse of the Alpha Flight saga. So plenty of other writers come along and try to make the best of a mess, and do a pretty good job, considering the shattered pieces of Alpha Flight they were left with.
The more I think about the Llan storyline, the more I remember that you're right, I didn't like it that much.
... OTOH, I also remember loving Hudnall's writing; mostly because I devoured #74 (which was part of said storyline) even though I hated the art.
I even started trying to redraw it myself, but never got anywhere.
True - but those runs didn't tend to derail the characters the way Mantlo's did, either.
I don't like Nicieza's run much, but I've loved other stuff he's written. :/

Okay, I've taken my replies to the Mac/Heather thing over to http://alphaflight.net/showthread.ph...r-s-Leadership as it's starting to reach WAY beyond the point that Crackity is up to in the series, and because it's kinda taking away focus.
Feel free to carry on there, but be warned: It will cover anything published up till Amazing X-Men #8.

I am hoping it's something to be glad about.
I haven't had any reading time this week, but hopefully soon. I am hoping I can breeze through these coming Not Alpha issues, so that I can get to the issues where there are at least some of the original members back (AS they were, mainly).
From the up's & downs in quality of what comes after Vol.1 that's not necessarily a bad thing...
