I’m cautiously optimistic
And me.
I think worst case is a 32 page one shot, which I'd take at this point.
A whole lotta nothing or misdirection or sneak peak news or a tease to test interest or.....
Now that the safety-net of Avengers movies is gone, MARVEL needs to publish really good comic books and not rely on hype or listen solely to the people who keep telling them to publish 18 variant covers on books few readers want.
Alas, at this point in time more people want Variant Covers than people want Alpha Flight.
Well, when DC comics overreach and don't give the readers what they really want, they implode. When MARVEL overreaches and doesn't give the readers what they really want, it goes bankrupt.
BTW, there are good comic books other than Alpha Flight that can be published.
Oh I agree with you on multiple points.
I just don't think Variants, or Events, are going away anytime soon.
Unfortunately long running series in Marvel are a thing of the past. Maybe we would get a one-shot or the very best a 5 issue mini
https://terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com/...ighttn_cov.jpgALPHA FLIGHT: TRUE NORTH #1 cover by Nick Bradshaw
And—brace yourselves, committed connoisseurs of the Commonwealth—the entire creative team is composed of cunning and cuddly Canucks! Written by clever creatives Jim Zub, Jed MacKay, and Ed Brisson, the comic has art crafted by co-conspirators Max Dunbar, Djibril Morissette-Phan, and Scott Hepburn with a kinetic cover by compatriot Nick Bradshaw!
So... Grab your hat and come travel light because adventure lies just around the bend! Featuring three brand-new tales no one has ever told before, ALPHA FLIGHT: TRUE NORTH #1 sees Canada's greatest creators unearth the secret history of squad stalwarts Puck, Snow-bird, Talisman, Northstar, Marrina, Guardian, and Vindicator!
"To celebrate the Toronto Raptors winning the NBA Championship," notes comical comic editor Chris Robinson (sadly, not Canadian), "we’re bringing back the greatest of the Great White North, Canada’s premiere super-team Alpha Flight! And we’ve assembled a super-team of Canadian talent behind the scenes for extra authenticity. Trust me, these guys are going deep into the Deparment H files to tie-up those loose Alpha Flight story threads that have been keeping you all up at night. You wanted dip with the chips? Here it is!"
Awesome news! Thanks for posting it! Wish it were an ongoing series tho
totally agree. all these rumblings had me hoping for more... Obviously the Raptors connection is bogus, this had been in the pipeline longer than last week - but any chance to see the original team suit up again is a joy. Glad they are using as many Canadian Artists as they are. Does anyone know if the September they refer to is when it comes out, or what its dated inside? (ie Picked up Captain Marvel #7 yesterday - it's dated August) Would love to get this signed at Fan Expo!Quote:
