So, I have a 6 issue mini-series of BOX outlined and the first 4 issues written. And it got me wondering, if it ever got published, who would I want to draw it? Drawing robots and humans is tough....

Van Lente gets a cookie for getting the "H" in Dept. H correct! :P

Interesting read...just wish John Byrne would love, er, like, uh no, accept his creation ;)

That's awesome news! I've been re-reading the whole run of AF while I continue to flesh out past the mini-series I wrote for BOX, and hopefully this new run will be longer and better! And hopefully...

OH YES!!! WOW! I WANT!!! How can I buy one when they are ready?

Oh, and are there going to be lines in the arms like in the JB drawings?

Hmm, I commented on the review of the issue, but it looks like more discussion is going on here!

From my comment on the review:

I agree with your review 100% (even to the point that I don't buy comics anymore...well, until this issue).

It seems like Pak and Van Lente are members of this forum and have read the posts from...

It's strange because most "versions" break BOX down by who was inside the armor instead of the different revisions to BOX.

Here's how I see it:

BOX I (silver and blue):
This is where we...

Ack! I just looked at the previous post date on this thread! Man, time flies by...

Well, a new job and some freelance comic pin-up work sure does get in the way!

I really want to finish the...

Box I and II weren't around that long, so the information you have is about all we have:

Box also contains many different devices, among which are ones enabling it to tap into computers and...

I agree with the 'crutch' idea with Roger. But in the beginning I envisioned that Roger saw the BOX armor as a freedom and a way to make himself feel like he was "someone".

There are a lot of...

I would like to see BOX have his own series.

It would be about a totally different character "inheriting" a very special version of the BOX armor from the past while he is dealing with his own...

What I think is funny about BOX is that it was set up so nicely:

Handicapped man that uses his skills to creates a robot so he can help others. Great metaphor.

But then you give him legs, make...

I'm not a big fan of continuing alternate universes...including the Ultimate line. But I would pick up a one-shot or limited series set in alternate reality.

And now after digging in deeper to the JB forum, he didn't didn't like his ARTWORK on AF, he thinks the story was fine!

As a professional artist, I know how he feels. There are many things "out...

Ugh, that one is HORRIBLE. And I think you're right on about Jefferies and BOX. The idea of someone with a disability using it to be a superhero made him more than he was as a man, but with...

So, what do you think? What did you like about your favorite?

I liked the phasing one (color-wise and slight change in design) but there was something cool about Roger in his chair "zapped" in to...

That's true. For every John Byrne, there's a guy like Steve Niles, or Robert Kirkman or many others.

Michael May and I are old timers from Steve's board and comics need more people like him. ...

I am SO bummed about John Byrne...or the person that he shows on the web. Here's a guy that I feel showed me that comics were more than just funny-books. AF 1-13 made a great impression on me, and...

yeah, I guess I should have followed the link from another thread to JB's site.

Seems he didn't care for AF, and really doesn't care about what happens to it. :cry:

- pjc

Has anyone read anything on what JB thinks of what happened to his creation? It'd be an interesting read, I would think.

- pjc

I don't have the issue right in front of me, but I believe Roger built the red version of BOX to only accept his DNA pattern, or something like that. I know there was a specific time that Jefferies...

I'd like to see a guest stint by "a different kind of BOX" :wink:

but really, I liked the conflict of Talisman in the group. Good Father/Daugther to go with Husband/Wife Brother/Sister thing...

1. How long have you been collecting Alpha Flight?
X-men introduction, the first run up to 55 or so? Right after Roger Bochs death, I left, then collected part of the 2nd run, and some of the...

I gotta agree with MM (was it in another thread??) about not liking Mignola when he first came on AF. Hey, I was a wee lad who thought Byrne was the greatest thing since sliced bread :wink:

But...

Maybe they could give Puck his own book at the same time. :)

sounds like a great plan! :wink:
