New thread to discuss.

Hoping the new upcoming book will focus on the REAL Flight, not the Carol Corps.

[Jackraow21]

Agreed!!!!!!

[Uncanny X-Man]

Yes! Can't wait to hear all the details on the book. I always had a soft spot for Alpha Flight and I'm glad they're now seemingly being integrated into the X-family of titles.

[IN-a-Synch]

Meh never liked anything about Alpha Flight. This is a bad idea like adding Puck to X-force.

Don't be shocked if it is a rebranded Captain Marvel book.

[Agent Grayson]

I like the idea of it being a book with the original cast plus Logan. If he’s on the run from Krakoa, he’ll need a new team!

I do too. I've always wanted a run with Logan on the team since he guested for a few issues after Mac's death in the original series. It's kinda shocking Marvel has never done this yet. It makes a lot more sense than him being an Avenger.

Same. Plus it would help the book sell past 6-10 issues too. And Logan needs a new team since he left X-Force and isn't on any X-men teams, adjectiveless, Dark, Immortal or Red; nor is he on any Avengers or other Marvel Universe teams at the moment. The man needs a team. Just one. I'm not greedy.

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.

Stitch, Feedback, Persuasion, and Radius have all been seen lately. It would be interesting if AF developed as a secondary team secretly based in Krakoa.

[Master of Sound]

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.

[Uncanny X-Man]

I would be happy with just Northstar and Aurora representing the original Alpha. I also have a lot of love for Heather and Shaman but I understand they would be more tricky to add to the cast, whereas it would be easier for the twins to just set up a new rescue team from Krakoa and take it from there.

I have a bad feeling it will be Alpha Flight in name only and it won't have any original AF members on it. I'll skip it if that's what it is. It's already looking like I'll be dropping most X titles after Fall of X anyway.

Hate to be Captain Nostalgia but I feel the same way, if they don't find a way to bring back Langowski Sasquatch, Guardian, Vindicator and Aurora then I really don't see me being to invested in the title.

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