wait. they were supposed to write a alpha solo series??????????????? i have been loving this storyline so far, would love to see them helm a alpha series. actually at this point i would love to see anyone write a ongoing alpha series.
I guess the idea for the Alpha Flight series got shot down?
I'd imagine it was an idea they'd had in the back of their minds for their Alpha Flight story, or maybe they pitched it as one, but they were never supposed to write one, as such...
Might've been cool, though, if they had.
I'm skeptical of their claim that they had a pitch in hand for an Alpha Flight series and that it was presented to editorial but rejected. Probably they are just now saying they had an idea. At the FREG signing event at Midtown Comics, I spoke with Mark Paniccia about this and he did confirm there were a lot of pitches for Alpha Flight but I doubt this was actually in front of someone making a decision about whether to proceed with an ongoing series or not.
"They live, fight, sleep and nearly die together almost every day of their lives."
Um? No, not really. The two characters asked about, one has not really been seen with the team in a very long time, and the other has been on a team south of the border for a long time, so...no. I disagree with that statement by Kyle, as relates to those two characters.
I also don't appreciate my team being called C-List.
Crazy talk IS my specialty...

I'm not sure it they mean it was a rejected pitch.
It sounds more like they had an idea for an AF series on a notebook or in their brains that they'd one-day like to use, but when they were approached to write Amazing X-Men they decided to use it there instead.
I've got ideas for an AF series, you probably have, most writers probably do.
I'd also go as far as to say AF are D-list, personally.

Well that was then, this is now and a lot has changed including their popularity
I'm pretty sure Alpha Flight is only guest starring in Amazing X-Men. However, I would really love it if the same team doing the art and writing the Amazing X-Men would do an ongoing Marvel NOW series of Alpha Flight that included most of the original characters and some of the fan favorites as well. I think Alpha Flight is ready for a comeback!
