I liked V2. They had good ideas and should have gotten more time in my opinion, as the stories had substance and weren't run of the mill. Ghost Girl and Flinch were two characters I wanted to see developed, but alas. Even Weapon PRIME was a team I wanted to see more of, more developed. But alas.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
I had much more respect for vol. 2 after seeing vol. 3.
The Flight Forever !
I find vol. 3 bad, but enjoyable.
I don't know what would sell, I just believe that if a publishing company publishes a well-thoughtout, well-executed, well-edited story with a beginning, middle, and end, people will buy it.
If Epsilon guards can: (1) capture and chain "Sasquatch II"; (2) detain, steal and/or harness the power of SUNFIRE; (3) de-age Mac to 18 years old; (4) capture and mind-wipe Judd and Heather at will/with ease, and; (5) harvest/grow children for Department H, what use, really, is (volume 2's version of) Alpha Flight?
Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."
They were ALPHA FLIGHT....
...once upon a time.
I'd honestly like to believe that.
I'm being the cynical one for once!
That's a really good point. I've never considered it like that before.If Epsilon guards can: (1) capture and chain "Sasquatch II"; (2) detain, steal and/or harness the power of SUNFIRE; (3) de-age Mac to 18 years old; (4) capture and mind-wipe Judd and Heather at will/with ease, and; (5) harvest/grow children for Department H, what use, really, is (volume 2's version of) Alpha Flight?
I think it was just an over-desire to do something very different to Vol.1 plus a LOT of editorial interference...
I've often said I've observed a total lack of correlation between quality and popularity.
Marketing is important, for one thing.
Though, Garry, you're right about Epsilon. I don't think I'd thought about that either!

Which was New Warriors v2 again? Was it the one during Erik Larsen's Nova?

Yup, written by Jay Faerber, who (as a fan, before his writing career) was on the original Alpha Waves list that eventually led to this board!

^^ This.
And I actually enjoyed Jay's run - but you could tell something was happening in the background.
Jay's run was infinitely better than the "X-Mutants New Warriors"... Which COULD have been interesting, except their artist was beyond horrible - you literally could not tell the characters apart when they were out of costume.
