Thank you Ben.
I should try to get some pictures up, only problem is I really don't know how to attach them to my posts
As for acquiring older issues of AF, I have been using ebay yes. There are great holes in my collection - but they are slowly becoming smaller

Click on the photo album button towards the top of the page, go into Assorted Alpha Flight Images, and click the upload button, from there you can add the images to the album. then you can just paste the link of the image in the album into a thread. You can't actually embed image from the album into you post for security reasons, but you can certainly put the text link inOriginally Posted by Nanostorm

Hi, I'm Kevin. I'm not really new, as I've been here more than a month.
Anyways, I showed up here after looking up AF at Wikipedia. I used to be a AF critic, mostly because I didn't like the costumes.
I'm not really a big comic book fan. I decided to buy a bunch of the AF comics out of curiousity. Why did AF have so much trouble staying afloat at Marvel? Why couldn't they sustain the success of FF or X-Men? When I read the comics I am really looking for the answer to that question.
In other words: what does the FF have that AF doesn't?
I'm mostly a fan of Byrne's vision now, but some of Mantlo's ideas are great, too (Jeffries' Box looks very cool, Heather as Vindicator was a great idea). I really like the artwork in the "all new, all different" AF (minus the huge forearms), too.
BTW, I have started to like some of the costumes. Whoever re-invented the Guardian suit to look like this really improved the look a lot. http://www.alphaflight.net/character..._gallery30.jpg That is my favorite look. The original with only the leaf on the left side of the body just looks too uneven.
But the big P in the Puck costume? Two Thumbs-down.
I hope Marvel creates another AF title. If they are smart, they will focus on creating a great new villian (or two), and stick with a small, simple AF made from its classic members.
I really like this board. Many knowledgeable members. Thanks!
Hello all,
I've got a bugger of a cold, this will be a quickie introduction of sorts.
I'm based in Ottawa, Ontario and I'm currently hard at work on my first graphic novel. Been a long time fan of AF, especially the original John Byrne run, and it's nifty to see a strong community like this on the net.
This is a quick sample of my work (and I hope that's ok to post!).
As I said, I'm fighting through the fog of a head cold so I think I'll leave it at that for right now.

Welome Von Allan! Too bad about the cold, hopefully it'll clear up soon. Nice art, you've got an interesting style from what I can tell. When is your Graphic Novel expected to be out?
Ben
Nice work for sure. Always good to have more creatives on the board.
Welcome aboard Von Allan. Glad to have you here, nice web site you have there.

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
Hey all,
First, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated.
Ben: the book won't be out 'til 2007. Right now I'm about 80 pages drawn with another 70 or so to go, so I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the summer. When it's finished up, I'll be getting a lot more serious about finding a publisher. I'll self-publish if I have to, but I'd rather (for a whole pile of different reasons) go with a publisher my first time out. We'll see how it goes.

Hi everyone,
I'm Ryan, and I'm an Alphaholic. I've been lurking for several months and decided to finally post something. I've been an AF fan since just before Guardian blew up, and he and his wonderful group of Canadians have been my favorite superheroes ever since. Nice to be a part of the group.
Hey Ryan, glad you decided to join in. Welcome to Alpha Waves officially.
Hi Everyone,
Its been about a year since I lasted posted (I took AF's cancellation really bad) but I'm finally back. In that time I've nearly completed my AF Vol.1 collection (I'm missing about 3 issues).
So Says Scarlettspiderg! And yes that is my letter (GP) in ANAD AF 12.
Welome back Scarlet! We thought maybe Del's old socks in the cupboard ate you...

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hello all.
NAME: Mike Morgado
BIRTH DATE: November 1973
LOCATION: Sarnia, Ontario, Canada
OCCUPATION: IT (Deskside Technician)
INTERESTS: Comics, Movies, Roleplaying games, TV, cartoons.
BIO: I have lived in Sarnia a majority of my life. Been into comics since I was 12 years old. I have been away from the online Alpha Flight community since 1997 - 1998 or so. I did get volume 2 and 3 though. I have been working at the same job since 1998. I actually love it most of the time. And speaking of love, I am engaged to be married this December 2nd. She doesnt have the same hobbies I do, but she puts up with it from me. We have two cats, Homer and Pete.
Hey there!
Hey, my name's Ellen, and I'm a big time Alpha Flight fan. Granted I am pretty young (i.e. 18 so it's AF is a little old school for me) but I have to admit, I like the classic AF episodes.
Northstar is pretty much the bomb for me. I'm bisexual so I identify with him, that and he's so *****y that it's adorable! I just recently bought #106 and man... That's a work of art right there. I cried when Heather and Kyle are talking about awareness.
Sasquatch and Puck are also pretty fantastic. I love Sasquatch's sex change, probably my favorite idea for a story arc ever. And Puck... He's just bad ass.
Heather. Man. She's quite possibly the best female charecter in the X universe, because she's feminine and yet smart and absolutely capable. Talk about a great escape from Jean Grey!
But yeah, so I hope to post a lot in here in the future.
I seriously want the Walter stuffed animal from AF #106. Seriously.
