Alpha flight fans: Gather 2023

[Whim]

actually I seem to never see it talked about much but I preferred Alpha Flight v2. the one where the team was more mutants. especially with Krakoa it would be a perfect time for more of them.

you know Radius, Flex, Murmur and such?

They could certainly do an X-Flight book, having mutants like Northstar, Aurora, Wolverine, Puck 2, Madison Jeffries, Windshear, Diamond Lil, Radius, Flex, Murmur, Persuasion/Purple Girl, Pathway, Goblyn, Manikin, Stitch, Smart Alec, Flashback, etc. to choose from. (Plus any new ones they want to add. I'm sure there are more mutants than those in/from Canada!

I actually thought vol. 2 was pretty decent and I liked the new characters. I actually thought they were hinting that Flex and Radius were related to Wolverine in some way - kids maybe? That was so long ago I don't think it should be revealed as such today not with all the kids he has now.

I think they were intended to be Unus the Untouchable's kids? But then, so was Carmella Unuscione, so if so, he got busy (and has a strong X-gene!)...

No, Radius and Flex had the same mother but different fathers. It was heavily implied that Unus was Radius/Jared's father and Logan was Flex/Adrian's, but it was never followed up on.

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

I thought it was wolverine and the cement but that’s because he’s in everything

I tried AF vol.2 briefly but...absolutely hated it. And I will fully admit: My Byrne bias aside, I thought volume one even at its most ridiculous (in the later issues) was more compelling and engaging story/character-wise.

It was definitely different. I grew to like the characters though. It was implied Ghost Girl had some sort of origin to someone Diamond Lil knew but that was dropped because the series ended. It’s unknown if Ghost Girl is a mutant or not.

Perhaps if I had given it more time...But then too, I never liked the 90's art aesthetic...and I can distinctly remember not liking the art at all. I think I have the first 4 issues somewhere packed away never having seen the light of day since I first bought them.

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.

Walter became Wanda?

YES. Wanda Langkowski as Sasquatch must have been one of the earliest "transgender" storylines in mainstream comics. ALPHA FLIGHT dealt with or tried to deal with lots of cutting edge material in its time. Attempting those stories in the modern era would be SO different.

[Master of Sound]

Can someone tell us more about this Nemesis character? I know not much about her.

I saw AF actually had 3 women named like that, so we don't know which one this might be, right?

Was one of them mutant?

[Digifiend]

We are lucky indeed!

Yeah, Guardian, Snowbird, Puck. It's a classic roster. Would've liked to see Snowguard from Champions join though, she named herself after Snowbird and Guardian.

Thank you! Thought this had to do with Scarlet Witch, but this is interesting in and of itself.

Would love to see Radius and Flex in an ongoing AF book along side original members.

Has this rum ever been released in trade form? Would love to revisit it.
