      Looks like Sorcerers Supreme is getting a full series: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/07/...or-marvel-now/

      Hopefully Shaman is in it.

      I have my doubts to be honest. But we shall see

      Yeah, the rumours I've heard since make it sound like he definitely won't be.

      Also confirms machine man won't be joining alpha flight. Not sure why he is back to his Nextwave incarnation as he got rid of it

      some random characters getting a book. I can't see most lasting that long.

      Is that Nightthrasher on that Foolkiller cover, or is that what Foolkiller looks like now? (The one doing the strangling, not the stranglee.)

      Why is Heather not included in the Alpha Flight section, but then named later on her own?

      Alpha Flight (Shaman, Snowbird, Aurora, Guardian, Marrina, Northstar, Puck & Sasquatch), then Wolverine, Deadpool, Squid Boy and Heather...

      Assuming it's because at the time that image was from she was an enemy.

      I guess, but she's literally in the Alpha Flight photo. And the article says "Greatest Canadian Heroes" and makes no mention of her brainwashing. And if they just mean Greatest Canadian Characters (Heroes/Villains), where's Sabertooth? You have the standard 3 of Alpha Flight, Wolverine, Deadpool and then Squid Boy? One of these things is not like the others. They even mention non-Canadian Alpha Flight members, Brand and Kawasaki, but not Carol Danvers?

      It's just kind of an odd list.

      True, I was thinking of the opening image.

      Maybe she's singled out because she's actually appearing in the issue...

      Looks to me like they were just trying to have fun with the concept.

      Yeah, definitely.
      Which fits with the tone of the book.

      Non-Alphan Preview of GOTG #12: http://www.cbr.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-12-4/
      While there's no Alphans included, it looks like it takes place just before they jump in to Civil War II #4 so we may get a cameo of Aurora/Puck/Sas

      Non-Alphan Preview of Power Man & Iron Fist #8: http://www.cbr.com/power-man-iron-fist-8/
      While no Alphans included, the last page of #7 indicated Puck will appear in #8

      Definite Alphans in GOTG #12; a few panels, no speech.
