Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Le Messor]

Indeed it was! She put Snowbird back in there and I was able to piece my heart back together!

Then just take it; take another little piece of my heart!

Especially how he drew uh... "Mac" (to spare any potential spoilers).

iirc, that was spoilered before #1 hit the stands.
I'd already learned to hate cartoony art long before then, especially when teamed up with dark, murky colouring.

Wait... Did Alan Davis draw a single issue? Or was it Neary? (Which would contradict something I said on another thread.)

(Worse character even in ALPHA FLIGHT history, you probably know who I'd say it was...)

Llan.

(V3) This was the "comedy" one, right? Scott was writing?

Indeed.

I enjoyed Volume 4, because it "reset" Alpha Flight. Were they a little more angry? Sure, but consider what they have been through, wouldn't you be pissed too?

Doesn't make me enjoy the book.
I don't want to read about a bunch of angry characters being angry. I don't like anybody when they're angry.

But they didn't want to put big names on there, because they were reserved to Marvel's core, big titles (FF, Hulk, Avengers, X-Men, etc).

Which is odd, because I often look at those big titles and wonder how this deservedly obscure person got the book!

I don't think anyone, post Byrne, ever cared about their assignment on Alpha Flight,

I'm not sure he did, either.

For the market readers to say, "Oh, hey, here's this team that's not going to put up with any Bull$#!+!"

In other words, a pretty generic team.

I liked Volume 2, 3 and 4.

Well, the world's a twisted place.

Hell, even Byrne ran out of ideas and enthusiasm for the team. Who's to say that if he stayed on the book his run wouldn't have been even worse than Mantlo's?

Always a possibility. I have noticed he has a short attention span; maybe it's good he only stays a few issues on any given title?

No one is ever going to be able to recreate those first 28 issues

I dunno, Alpha Flight Classics did a pretty good job...

And I like Earthmover.

First place goes to - if you can count him, since it wasn't in an ALPHA FLIGHT series, goes to Earth Mover.

And I know who Earthmover is!
