One question regarded Aurora and Steve's answer is definitely of interest to AF fans:
AIPT: X-Fan Heartsib is a longtime Alpha Flight fan who very much enjoys your comic work and is thrilled you’ll be writing Jeanne-Marie. You’ve mentioned we’re going to get to see her shine apart from Northstar — could you go into a bit more detail as to how you’ll approach that?
Steve: First of all, in a bizarre twist, perhaps, Jeanne-Marrie is not the only ex-Alpha Flight character that will be appearing early in the run. So, a teaser for the annual. But I really enjoyed the radical acceptance that she was practicing with Akihiro in X-Factor, it’s one of the things that we’ll be carrying over. They’re not people who are ignoring the faults in each other or each other’s struggles, but they are two people who again, radically accept and support each other. So, Jeanne-Marie will continue to have the confidence she had in X-Factor — perhaps a bit more, but that does not mean that we’re going to act as though, you know, as with anyone who struggles as I have, as many of us have with, in her case mental illness, but any number of things, chronic pain — you take your pick. The point is, the reality is that it’s a day-by-day process and it’s a process of managing.
