When we hit #9, I think I'll pick up upon Cyclops' return, but I'd need to research that era some more before I commit to anything."

It is canon. So if X-Men First Class, btw, despite the odd continuity flub.

---

Ah...Like oddly different school uniforms that the original X-Men never wore?

---

Yes, like those. Artistic license, or else they briefly used new costumes then ditched them again.

Argh!...Is there any reason besides bad art, that Kitty looks like a 20-something stripper (with implants) and not a 13 year old girl?

:roll:

If you are meaning the cover to #1, they fixed that between the preview and going to press.

Yup, and he's the one writing Snowbird over in The Incredible Hercules.

Very, very interesting.....

ahhhh..............the plot thickens. i think i like this guy.

Perhaps the upcoming author on the new Alpha Flight ongoing we have all been waiting for? hurm...ponder on this I must. I dont believe in coincidence.

I'm loving his work on Hercules so far, if he actually did write for Alpha/Omega I would definetly be glad with that news.

Snowy looks great!

You're a dreamer.

But I admit, you're not the only one.

Oy, more of that wicked Australian humour!

Well, here's my two-cents worth...
I think the WFC cover shown here in this thread is "nice" looking, but the faces are a little too 'manga' for my taste, much too round and innocent looking.
As for our mysterious Fred who seems to be liking to write about Alpha, me thinks we all get our hopes up, and then we will see them dashed upon the cruel rocks that are life.
It'd be nice, and all, but the realist in me screams "No, don't believe it!"
Seen this all before. I'm unimpressed with the hopes we all cling to. I don't feel like doing it anymore, seriously i don't. So, i think i will just enjoy these AF appearances for what they are, a glitch and a blip on the radar of life, something that is nice for now but has no greater meaning other than the enjoyment i get from it at this moment.
And that will have to do.

There are other good team books out there to read, ones that actually get published by companies that care, books like Teen Titans and Dynamo 7. I'm enjoying them, as well as others like Ms. Marvel and Avengers: Initiative, and all the interesting revelations that continue to spill out of The Secret Invasion.

Oh, and I have started collecting superhero busts. You can find that thread in the General Discussion section..."Bust-ed".

Beautiful artwork. It's good to see (part of) the classic team again. And Birdie using her postcognitive sight? Cool.

The only thing I didn't like was this silly feud between Aurora and Snowbird. I hope it doesn't continue for the whole story. Or for another Alpha series.

sweet is this a mini series? or on going?
