A birthday full of Flight
My 19th birthday was last sunday, the 22nd, but today I got to see my boyfriend and he got me a rather large set of Alpha Flight comics:
Alpha Flight #1 - 29
Alpha Flight #33 - 34
Alpha Flight #43
Alpha Flight #52 - 53
Alpha Flight #87 - 90
Alpha Flight #106
Any particular issues that you guys recommend I read from the stuff I got?

#87-90 is the Building Blocks arc (?) and to my mind was the beginnings of the emergence from the depths AF had been taken to by Mantlo. Hudnall did a reasonable job, but Building Blocks bought AF out of the darkness (IMHO).

While some of Mantlo's run had redeeming qualities, issues 52-53 really were some of the worst writing I've seen, almost as bad as Loeb's current Fallen Son series.
