Alpha Flight Questionnaire Conversations.

I am enjoying the last few issues a bit more, but issues 29-31 were just awful, both writing and art. Mantlo has somewhat redeemed himself in my eyes with issues 32-36 (which is as far as I've gotten so far). They still pale in comparison to the Byrne issues, but at least I can read them...I was darn near giving up fir a little while there. The art improves with Sal Buscema in #33-34, and also Canada's own Dave Ross thereafter, though I'm not a huge fan of either one, but they're a big improvement over Jon Bogdanove and Mike Mignola, IMHO.

As I said, I do like plenty of Mantlo's stuff, especially his Micronauts and Rom. His Hulk was pretty good, too. Some of his Iron Man stuff was good, too. Heck, I even enjoyed Man From Atlantis, for what it was. I don't recall any of his Marvel Team-Up of Marvel Two-in-One stuff being too memorable, though, but I'd have to look at the issues to really be sure. And yes, he did the Cloak & Dagger limited series and the first 11 issues of the monthly.

The TV series? Did he work on that?
Or a comics adaptation?

Lol! Sorry, but if you don't remember them, and have to look them up, wouldn't that mean by definition that they aren't too memorable?

Remind me what happens in issues #32-36 that redeemed the reading in Alpha Flight? I love when people find good! There's a lot of good thing Bill brings to Alpha Flight (later), I won't discuss them for now because I don't want to spoil them for you (in the event you may not remember)!
