Blurse...I love it (Gotta love Buffy references!). That made me smile, thanks, Mik!...I needed it.

Dana :D

If you look at Joe Quesada's (or Tom Brevoort's, Marvel execs in general) pattern also, then you'd notice he (or they) seems to constantly talk in absolutes ("Dead means dead", Alpha Flight's "last...

LOL! Good one, Ahab...I still love Byrne's Alpha stories the best.

Dana

I dunno about being jaded, Ahab...For me, it's more like having been burned a few times.

Dana

I will not be ignored?...Yay! LOL!

Dana

How on Earth are you seeing all that, Mik? It's making my eyes bleed trying to make out what's on those pages...:cry:

Dana

I think that's what I said above (quoted myself below), Dig...Does everybody have me on ignore or some such?

Dana:p

Okay....More on heights of characters...Check out Marrina in her first appearance in Alpha Flight Vol 1, #1

The handbooks say Walt is 6'4" in his natural human form...So right on, FP. :D

Dana

Maybe Mac used to play basketball (it was invented by a Canadian, after all)?....LOL!

Dana

Marrina certainly doesn't look 6 ft there, but with Heather and the twins in the second pic...Keep in mind they are behind her, perhaps by a foot. They may still be taller than her, if they were...

I agree...Those very same height measures are here at the Alphanex wiki too (and in the original Handbooks too).

Dana

Sassy is 10 ft tall (so no, he is not too tall here), Marrina is supposed to be 6 ft tall and thus, not too tall here either...Heather is 5'5" so she should be rather short...Mac is 6' 2".

Dana

Have fun at the Con, guys! I wish I could go...I've never been to one.

Dana :(

Argh! Bad puns galore...Let's hope they don't screw this return up...AFAIC, Marvel has a lot to vindicate. ;)

Dana:p

John Byrne did not...Repeat: Did not have anything to do with Raazer being associated with Puck's origin...Bill Mantlo was the fellow responsible for that. John Byrne intended Puck to be a normal...

Nah...She thinks it means Carnivorous Eskimo Offender.

Dana ;)

Koz,

I feel Heather has "grown" past that (I believe Mr Mantlo is the party responsible for her blast-happy moments in both instances you mentioned)...Other writers came in and made her a bit more...

If anything were to come from the Chaos War one shot, I wouldn't mind seeing Alpha in a mini-series (maybe 4-6 issues) once or twice a year...That is, if an ongoing is out of the question.

Dana

Mac is still, essentially...A blank slate. He has a lot of room to grow, since not a lot was done to flesh him out, in most of his appearances...What do we really know about him? I would definitely...

I actually enjoyed almost every Byrne issue after Mac died (after getting over the shock of his death, of course)...I don't see the issues going downhill (except after Byrne left), but that's just my...

LOL...Mac and Heather return home to find their child with a slight purple hue...

Mac: "Oh God...She's choking! Kara, why haven't you done anything to help her?!" Mac Picks up his daughter to...

Very true, S. Mac would seem the type to be happier in a tech lab/engineering shop setting working on tech projects, than risking his lives in the field. I'm just conflicted on Heather in a power...

I hear ya...But if Heather is leading from home, she could certainly have the baby with her at all times....And maybe take the little one to her family (her parents or any of her 7 or so siblings)...

On Shaman's "war paint"...Artistic license, maybe?

I have a minor quibble with Mr McCann (no offense, Jim)...He mentions in one interview that "Mac always wanted to be the leader"...
