Alpha Flight: Fall of X #1

[M@Bowers2014]

"By the way, does anybody know what exactly happened to Walt?"

I don't remember the details but he's in Doc Samson's body while Doc Samson is in Walt's. That's why Sasquatch is now called Doc Sasquatch when he shows up. This is not a story plot that I enjoy and hope it gets reversed sometime soon. I enjoyed Immortal Hulk quite a bit other than that whole thing with Doc and Walt.

I know Marrina showed up at the end, but who else?

I think it was a missed opportunity, this whole mini series. We were promised surprises and got one (we all knew it was Heather). What about all the mutants on the old team? Where are they? Where are Box, Diamond Lil (I was so hoping for an appearance by my Lil), Goblyn, Pathway, Windshear, Persuasion, Manikin, and whoever else I'm missing? It was cool seeing Feedback, but he is such a blip in the AF lore that I don't think it had the impact Brisson wanted. I understand the love and significance of the original team and how they changed everything, but there were plenty more members who were a part of the team a lot longer. Sorry for the rant. I really do love this team, but I expected something more from this mini.

spoilers:

Walt also showed up. He's got long green hair now because he is in Doc Samson's body while Doc Samson is in Walt's.

I wanted the ending to be more definitive with racist Whatsherface and Bochs Junior getting their comeuppance but...I very much enjoyed this mini overall. It was a straightforward and well told and well-illustrated story...which if they had a mind to, could have been lengthened into a longer AF: Mutant Search and Rescue series.

I like the series. I'm not super familiar with Alpha Flight prior to this so I don't know if there were any character issues and some of the bigger things didn't land as much for me (heather). I liked seeing how Orchis was working with a government, or at least how a government was using what Orchis was doing.

are they going to bench Heater?

More like put her to bed, the poor thing's in the hospital.

Instead of storming Latveria for no good reason, Wolverine should storm his own country and go free all his Alphan friends next!

I love this idea! He has the omega level power of being in several places at once so he should bust them out.

while it was good to see some of the old Alpha Flight back.....

the v2 team gets snubbed again which is annoying since that was a fun squad.

no Flex,Murmur, Radius, or Ghost Girl ....

Hopefully if this gets follow up we'll get some other Alpha Flight members who will be the focus instead.

I do wish however, that instead of using Heather/Nemesis for teleportation they would have brought in Goblyn and her sister Laura, however that would have probably bloated the cast a bit much.

You know it would be kinda funny if they meet up Laura again on a another adventure and Mac askes:


Mac: "Why wasn't she helping us the last time the team needed a teleporter?"

Eugene: "...I'm not going to lie Mac we kinda forgot her."

Laura: "Yeah you did along with everybody else."

This. Explains. So. Much.

You have my support

I didn't read that version, but I really want to see Radius, Unuscione and Unus finally get together and resolve whether or not they are related! (Unus was an old fave, and Unuscione a newer one back in the 90s, so I'm sure I could be a fan of Radius, as well. I like force field folk, and it's nice to have another boy, to balance out Skids, Armor, Cecelia Reyes, etc.)

I have a feeling when AF does pop up again that Bochs Jr is going to turn on Dept H. You could see he had misgivings here even. Now if AF will forgive him or not is still up in the air I think. In fact with so many different parts in the air concerning how Orchis is countered, (mysterium ships, knowhere, underground X-Men team, etc. All seem to be independent of each other) but with so many parts maybe Bochs sentinels are going to end up helping to take out the Stark sentinels
