Here's the first look at Dale Eaglesham's take on Alpha Flight starting with Marrina! And it's not your daddy's Marrina. Very edgy.
Wasn't completely sold on 'hip and edgy' Marrina at first, but the sea turtle tats won me over.\\:D/
Granted, of all the team Marrina is probably the one who could most do with a costume update, but I just don’t know that I’m a fan, especially of the seaweed collar + fins. We go from the too-simple bathing suit to something that really is entirely too busy. She looks like the Creeper and Mera had a love-baby and punted it to the Marvel U to keep everything hush-hush.

On a more positive note, Marvel does seem to be giving the new Flight book an actual push -- good creative team, an event tie-in, lots of art sneak-peaks. It's heartening.
Quiet! D'ye wan' us t' get sued?
The artwork is great.
For me, this is the definitive image of Marrina:

She's been Byrned, of course.
Sweet, a little awkward, gentle... this one image captures it all.
Sure, she just goes a little mad sometimes. We all go a little mad sometimes. Haven't you?

But normally she's sweet and gentle.
Which means, to me, Marrina is the last person who should have the emo / punk look. It looks cool, I like it, but I don't think it suits her.
I'll have to wait and see where they're going with it.
Sea turtles. Hee hee. I think they work for her.

Man, I take one night off to go to the pub and I miss stuff...
I was going to say, "huh?"...But it makes sense in some regards. She is very young and having been killed twice and being brought back to life might mess one up a bit (tattoos, piercings and all).

Plus these aren't the finished item, just early design sketches.
Let's see how the final product and character writing work.
she has tattoos now? isnt that just a rip of the new AquaLad in DC?
