    Yes, yes it is.

    I read the rest of "The Gift" last night.
    *sniffle*
    It was soooo good. SO GOOD.

    Why can't comics be written like that anymore?
    Where everyone is a working team, but each character gets a bit of focus?

    Default Foreboding foreshadowing...

    I feel so bad for her.
    Your enthusiasm for Alpha Flight is awesome, CJ...as is your commitment to keep reading the Mantlo-era run. There are non-Byrne stories that are good (like The Gift), which confirms my belief that Alpha Flight can be handled well...if given the chance. Unfortunately, there aren't as many (good non-Byrne stories) as there could have been.

    Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."

    They were ALPHA FLIGHT....

    ...once upon a time.

    Nor as many as good Byrne stories. Which, given the small number of Byrne stories, says something.

    Thank you, Garry/Al-Fan.
    I've been slacking in my AF reading lately. Just been enjoying the nice weather outside, and I have been working a lot.
    But I promise to get back into the swing of reading.

    We all slack off and slow down, post-Byrne.

    Or, as Stephen King would put it, 'we all float down here'.

    So it's not just me, good. Because I read through Byrne's run so quickly. I couldn't stop reading it. I think I am still recovering from the sadness of the fact that Byrne didn't write the run I am currently reading.
    It's the anticipation of knowing it's not going to be the same.
    I wasn't ready for the change.

    Just keep plugging away at it. There are still good moments to come.

    I read #31 tonight (FINALLY!).

    And!
    STFU, Heather. Someone give her some powers already.


    My fave parts were Northstar getting snarky with Heather.

    How much longer is Heather going to irritate me? I used to like her. When Byrne wrote her. My sympathy for her has been stretched and used up already, and I'm only on the second Mantlo issue.

    ETA: OH OH OH! And I loved Puck. LOVE HIM.

    You should read some of the disparaging things he has had to say about Alpha Flight, and the characters within, since he left the series. The beauty of his run was in the flaws, and the humanity. And the only way i can realistically keep on liking Mr. Byrne is to see him the same way; flawed, and human.

    The whiny Heather is part of why we're so down on Mantlo's run...
    but at least it leads to something.

    No, that was Byrne's run.

    Now, a dog in a Wolverine costume...
