"Join the might that is Alpha Flight"... catchy tag line.

[Le Messor]

Catchy name, maybe, but since the first rule of Alpha Flight Club is, we don't talk about Alpha Flight Club, we may never hear about it.

You guys will have to tell me how Civil War II goes, and if it's as subtle, well-coordinated, and consistently-written as the first. I tend to skip events, and will probably not buy the issues of Captain Marvel that tie into it.

I love the catchphrase. Great publicity.

Hopefully talisman and shaman make it out ok in strange

I think they may survive.

Loving this Variant for Civil War II #1, though it does make me wonder as to Mac & Heather's whereabouts/fates:

[Garry/Al-Fan]

"Heather"/Vindicator is a straight-up murderer and Mac/Guardian is a bank-robber [along with Judd (called out by name), Aurora, and Snowbird]...
which would probably make the rest of the team accomplices.

[Le Messor]

Yeah... those are reasons why v4 isn't my favourite run.

They should do a reverse variant where you have to order 1000 copies to NOT get a Greg Land cover.

Quoted for Lulz.

I just remarked the other day how sad it is that covers these days are completely generic 'so they'll work on a trade'. Trades don't get their own cover at a time when every single issue of every single floppy gets five different variants?
Somebody, somewhere, is wrong.

That's a pretty badass costume. Almost wish that was her binary level costume

In answer to the question on the cover:
The one I don't recognise from the show?

[Phil]

Those are some terrible likenesses...
