Going back to Furman's run, Puck wouldn't want to lead the team.

I liked the government angle, but it dragged on and needed a resolution that never came because of cancellation.
I wouldn't want to revisit it,

Less embarrassing than Vol.3.

Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed V3 a lot.
It did seriously damage AF's reputation though as they became a joke team with a joke book.

Hence the decision to kill them off.

Enough time has passed...

Exactly.
If they bring up one thing it'll lead to the other.

Not saying they won't bring the characters back from the dead at some point; comics after all.

Mentioning them means admitting Volune 3 happened...

With Puck II as a zombie?

I remember Jay originally wanted to use Clone-Mac from AF Vol.2 but the idea got nixed.

Yup, written by Jay Faerber, who (as a fan, before his writing career) was on the original Alpha Waves list that eventually led to this board!

I think it was just an over-desire to do something very different to Vol.1 plus a LOT of editorial interference...

I'd honestly like to believe that.
I'm being the cynical one for once!


That's a really good point. I've never considered it like that before.

I've still got a lot of love for Vol.2.

It's not Byrne Flight, but then again few things are.

I enjoyed Vol.4 a lot more than 3, it was definitely a shame to see it go.

I don't think an Epic-style format would sell in this market, but I do like the idea.

Yet he keeps on coming back!


Well, judging by the pattern of 130 issues > 20 issues > 12 issues > 8 issues I'd say it'll be 6 issues at most!

And this strengthened our thoughts:

I had the same thoughts as you on that character, and thought you'd like it ;)

But then they get to reboot it with a new #1 when he leaves ��

Yup, handbooks confirmed it.

It was just me spitballing ideas.

Marvel have said that they still have 15 titles left to announce, shipping in December onwards.
December solicits will be announced in September.
Fan Expo...

... Volume 5 was entitled 'Northstar & Alpha Flight' ?
