    ... and for some people who have been on this forum v2 is their Alpha Flight.

    It's not Byrne Flight, but then again few things are.
    I just feel like the writing was a little everywhere. Like way too many plot lines were thrown on the table at once.

    That's sad.

    Nope. Too much of an aggressive 90s jerkhat bully. Nothing cool about him.

    I liked V2. They had good ideas and should have gotten more time in my opinion, as the stories had substance and weren't run of the mill. Ghost Girl and Flinch were two characters I wanted to see developed, but alas. Even Weapon PRIME was a team I wanted to see more of, more developed. But alas.

    I had much more respect for vol. 2 after seeing vol. 3.

    I find vol. 3 bad, but enjoyable.

    I don't know what would sell, I just believe that if a publishing company publishes a well-thoughtout, well-executed, well-edited story with a beginning, middle, and end, people will buy it.

    Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."

    They were ALPHA FLIGHT....

    ...once upon a time.

    I'd honestly like to believe that.

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

    I hadn't thought of that - but that's just further proof that the writing felt like it was everywhere and not all that well planned out.

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

    I've often said I've observed a total lack of correlation between quality and popularity.
    Marketing is important, for one thing.

    Though, Garry, you're right about Epsilon. I don't think I'd thought about that either!

    That seemed to be a curse with Volume 2. Same exact thing happened that sank New Warriors V2.

    Which was New Warriors v2 again? Was it the one during Erik Larsen's Nova?

    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!

    ^^ This.

    And I actually enjoyed Jay's run - but you could tell something was happening in the background.

    Jay's run was infinitely better than the "X-Mutants New Warriors"... Which COULD have been interesting, except their artist was beyond horrible - you literally could not tell the characters apart when they were out of costume.
