Alpha flight fans: Gather 2023

[From The Shadows]

I read the original series, the byrne issues. I enjoyed it and liked the characters.

Eyes, fingers and toes crossed...I'm hoping (beyond hope and wishful thinking) for Narya, Talisman, Marina and Shaman.

Omg you just mentioned all my favorite alphans in a single sentence….I’m crossing my fingers too

Marrina should be classified as a Mutant. A Plodex mutant, just as Ultra Girl is a Kree Mutant.

[Tugger]

I wish Marvel would make more of the original 1983-1994 run available digitally beyond #29. I remember enjoying when Walter became Wanda and Madison Jefferies joined the team and would like to read those issues again.

I found a website that has it and just read issues 87-90 featuring Wolverine and some of the X-men. Logan shows up to help bring in Wild Child who's going feral. Pretty good stuff. The covers are early work by Jim Lee too! There was also a follow up to that story I believe in Marvel Comics Presents too.

I just Googled "read Alpha Flight online" and this was the first site that popped up.

On the one hand, yes! It would certainly give her some more options for appearing, and the X-franchise could use some cool aquatic focus (aquatic mutants like Shark Girl, Namorita, Crosta, Undertow, etc. don't get nearly enough focus, IMO).

On the other hand, I like the idea that the Celestials haven't tinkered with *everyone,* and that some races, like the Kree (originally, anyway), lack the capacity for mutation, and have to find various other workarounds like mysticism or cybernetics or, in the Plodex case, organic technology, to have 'super' beings.

I’m really hoping we get a proper Alpha Flight book again. I don’t mind them adding others like Fang to make the book more marketable, but I want to see the classics like Sasquatch, Snowbird and Shaman too.

I wouldn't hate an Alpha Flight ongoing with most of the classic team and Fang. I mean I'd rather have Wolverine since I feel it should have already been done.

I hope that Marvel finally puts the post-Byrne stuff on digital with the new mini announcement, or reprint some of the TPBs.

[Crosley]

Couldn't be happier than getting Brisson on this, honestly.

[Devaishwarya]

I'm cautiously interested and fully in. YES!!! to this having (some of) the OGs
I'm not a fan of Brisson's NM at all but perhaps he might surprise me with his AF...the way Orlando's Scarlet Witch has me completely hooked line and sinker but I couldn't drop his Marauders fast enough.

[ARkadelphia]

I think we will be Lucky of more than 1 original AF member will be part of this. Remember, Hellions only had 1 original Hellion on their cast, being Empath. Marauders did not even have one original member and dito with Fallen Angels. So perhaps we should not expect to much. Let's just hope the cast and creative team will be great.

We are lucky indeed!

Walter became Wanda?

There are some things to consider, though, like following up on the last Alpha Flight book True North, since one of the stories there revealed Mac had some pretty disturbing ideas for how to "rehabilitate" Heather after what went down in the last ongoing Alpha Flight series by Greg Pak. Beyond that, with Mac, there was the J.A.N.U.S. organization he was revealed to have joined as a member of the leading council at the end of Frank Tieri's Ravencroft miniseries following Absolute Carnage, or --- to be more relevant to X-Men --- him being brought into Orchis by the late, unlamented Henry Peter Gyrich after the first Hellfire Gala, even if he did walk away after finding that Orchis under Gyrich was planning on staging a mass casualty incident in Australia, which would then be blamed on Krakoa to turn the world even more against mutants. If there is a new Alpha Flight book coming, I would hope those particular issues get addressed at some point down the line.

Wasn’t the True North story done to explain why Mac and Heather were together again when they were in that X-men story with the Windigos

Maybe, yeah. Amazing X-Men by Chris Yost, right?
