So, howsabout them fictional Canucks, eh?
Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Where for art thou Crackity?
Totally agreed on both parts.
I hated the idea of him as an alpha-male heartthrob. I even preferred Tieri's brainwashed version.
I quite like him how he is now (or how he was when last seen...
I like Jeffries under Byrne and everyone after Hudnall.
Basically anyone but Mantlo & Hudnall.
Yeah, #77 was a strange one.
It comes across as a inventory issue that was written before Hudnall started his run, like with #63.
The fact that it has a standalone guest penciller makes me think...
They'll all be back.
Nope.
It's some of the worst stuff in the run.
Yeah, a lot of that stuff are reprints, or in the case of the FT (features) just reprinted panels.
Of the stuff Rob posted, his original work is:
Alpha Flight (I) 68 - 71, 73 - 76, 78 - 82, 84...
4325
It's 19 pages my end...
#66 is Mantlo's last issue, #63 was a fill-in/precursor.
It's... different.
Garry, I honestly can't see me ever having to ban you.
Vent as much as you want, without profanity and slurs, and you'll be fine.
I think the concept of Goblyn/Pathway was very good.
Not sure where in Mantlo's run her origin is so I won't mention it but it was definitely a decent, original idea.
The execution however didn't...
Let's not forget; I am the best. THE BEST :cool:
Just worked out what you mean...
It might be worth editing them out.
I'm watching the show and obviously things'll get changed between book and screen but I know people might get worked up if...
Yeah... it was a bit of a tease.
His (next) actual return is fairly amusing though...
Nup, that was Lobdell.
Ding, ding, ding!
I still found it weird under Byrne's pen.
To give Mantlo some credit, I found Jeffries a better match - Heather came from a big family and it was Madison's fatherly-way with Kara that first...
I found Puck and Heather distasteful.
Eugene was so greatful to Mac for all he'd done for him; the last thing he'd do would be to jump on Heather as soon as he died.
I liked Puck as Heather's...
When Crackity gets past them I'll post a big ol' rant about it ;)
The character who's not in Mantlo's run but is in Nicieza's.
And obviously, not Windshear.
#87 - #101
For me, Nicieza's run derailed one character in particular, ruining him for me for life, crapping over Byrne's writing more than anything Mantlo ever did.
I think that Mantlo's run was the worst run of the volume simply because it was the longest.
There were shorter runs that had worse ideas/plots/execution/dialogue than Mantlo did, but because they...
