    CAPTAIN MARVEL VOL. 1: RISE OF ALPHA FLIGHT TPB
    Written by MICHELE FAZEKIS & TARA BUTTERS
    Penciled by KRIS ANKA
    Cover by KRIS ANKA
    Oh Captain, my Captain! Carol Danvers soars higher than ever with her greatest mission yet — leading Earth’s first line of defense, the all-new Alpha Flight space program! And some alums of the old-school Flight are along for the ride: Puck, Aurora and Sasquatch! It’s a bold new frontier for Captain Marvel, but can she handle being a diplomat first and a soldier second? She’ll face negotiations with alien delegates, passive-aggressive power struggles with Flight Commander Abigail Brand, an insatiable itch to be out on the front lines and the mystery of a ghost ship bearing the Star of Hala — the very symbol she wears on her chest! Plus: Carol’s powers are on the fritz, and all evidence says Alpha Flight has a traitor in its midst. You think your job is tough? Try Captain Marvel’s! Collecting CAPTAIN MARVEL (2016) #1-5.

    Written by AL EWING
    Penciled by KENNETH ROCAFORT & CHRISTIAN WARD
    Cover by KENNETH ROCAFORT
    Black Panther! Captain Marvel! Ms. America! Spectrum! Blue Marvel! Together, they form the ultimate super team, finding and fixing problems beyond the limits of the infinite! From cosmic forces lurking on Earth to whatever waits beyond the omniverse — they start with the impossible and take it from there! And what’s more impossible than ending the threat of Galactus…forever? The devourer of worlds is beyond good and evil. He’s a necessary part of the universe. The Ultimates have heard it all before — and respectfully, they disagree. The bigger they are, the harder they fall — but if they succeed in taking him down, what will take his place? Another problem: Spacetime is broken. And to solve that, the Ultimates can’t just think within the box. They need to go…outside! Collecting ULTIMATES (2015) #1-6 and material from AVENGERS #0.

    Earth’s mightiest marksman continues to steer the Thunderbolts to greatness in a volume filled with revelations! Citizen V is unmasked at last! A heartbreaking killer is exposed! And Moonstone learns far more than she bargained for about the source of her power! As the team enters a showdown with the V-Battalion, Sandman lends a great big hand — but can he be trusted? Wonder Man has it in for Atlas, and Black Widow swings by — could this be a warmup for a full-on Avengers/Thunderbolts crossover? You betcha! And Count Nefaria might be more than both groups can handle! Old friends return, and a new Scourge attacks — but as more secrets spill out, will this be the end of a beautiful friendship for Hawkeye and the Thunderbolts?

      I'm kind of surprised Snowbird hasn't appeared in the Dr Strange "Last Days of Magic" story. She must be very busy...somewhere.

      I'm hoping she turns up in the Hercules Civil War II mini.

      I must admit, reading Alpha Flight has given me the habit of saying "eh"

      ... Hmm... I'm probably not going to buy the Civil War crossover issues, but that sounds interesting.

      The #6 Solicitation has now been updated to reflect the Gage's writing the issue, which makes sense, arc-wise.

      We mentioned it briefly here and it's logged in the appearances forum and gallery.

      It wasn't included in this Article as there wasn't any definite proof they'd be in the issue back in April when the Solicits were out. Thankfully they have been in the whole arc though!
