Article: Marvel Solicitations For March 2016

[Phil]

Yeah.

There's a lot of relatively new-to-comics fans that read Captain Marvel, especially female readers which is a great thing.
It's a good time for a fresh entry point to the team without the horrible history spells.
Plus speculators due to the film.
Not sure AF will still be in the book when it's released, but there's always the chance.

[Alphan East]

There is a famous Hollywood saying... "There is no such thing as bad publicity".
This is getting Alpha flight noticed by a whole new wave of readers. Plus, it may be rekindling interest in some others who may have left Alpha Flight behind.
Hoping to see as many AF characters in this series as possible.

[Phil]

Exactly. Agreed 100%.

I'm loving the concept, and the art.

[Le Messor]

It's an odd fit, but I like the bold attempt to move them away from X-books and give them a purpose.

Hmm... between that and what I just posted on another thread... maybe that's the reason? Maybe moving them away from the 'X' like this will give Marvel the movie rights?

CM is having her own movie soon, so if suddenly they're 'her' team, then Marvel may be able to film them?
Marvel did release two dates for Phase 3, without attaching film titles to them.

(Or maybe not, since they did premiere in X-Men, and that's relevant to the byzantine movie rights issues.)

Here's my attempt at a Variant Cover:

[Alphan East]

Well done.

[-K-M-]

That's impressive. Well done

[Canucklehead]

Thanks! Let's just hope it comes true some day!

[Le Messor]

I like the star constellation in the background.

[Garry/Al-Fan]

Yeah it was supposed to be temporary

I don't have much to add as to how long Narya is temporarily released from the mystic ban; my concerns center around Narya's ancestry and the burden placed upon her regarding the Great Beasts.

We can hope that Alpha Flight is now considered a broader group consisting of personnel down in the Triskelion and on the space station , so hopefully it isn't one of our beloved heroes that is the traitor. I'm hoping it's Abigail Brand.

While I don't mind Walter wearing a vest or whatever it is, why wouldn't he also have shorts, as well?

[Phil]

I'm guessing it's more something for a helmet to be attached to?

[-K-M-]

Exactly. We see him in space with the helmet connected to the "vest".

[Canucklehead]

With Civil War II being about Iron Man vs Captain Marvel, do you think we'll see some Alpha Flight members in the high profile event?

[Le Messor]

Wouldn't he want a cup, too?

My guess would be, yes.
