    Default Pick a Setting for a future issue of Alpha Flight to take Place.

    Simple, choose a setting (preferably that the team has yet to visit) that you would like an issue of Alpha Flight (if it ever gets picked up again) to take place, and then state your reasons why.

    For me it would have to be where I did my undergrad degree, in Camrose, Alberta. Just south of Edmonton, this town of 15 to 17 thousand people welcomed me into their hearts for four and a half wonderful years, and I would love for it to be chronicled on the pages with Canada's superhero team. Of particular interest would be to see a battle spill over into my college campus. I just have this image of Puck being thrown through a window where my old professor is giving a lecture, and then making a crack about my profs eerie resemblance to colonel sanders.

    Why those places?

    Here in Oklahoma aka Indian Country. Can you imagine the people looking at this group of Canadians all dressed up in spandex and wondering why the only indian in the group is wearing a tiara. Shaman brings in Talisman to help the local tribal police and out of nowhere, Red Wolf shows up!!. Its like a comic book pow-wow in the making.

    Pretty selfish reasons, right?

    Not at all! I always take a sense of pride when something great takes place or someone great comes from my home town, and appearance from Alpha Flight ranks pretty high up there!

    Pretty much what I was thinking. Would love to see (San Diego, especially, since this where I have grown up) in a comic, and see recognizable landmarks.

    You should stick to that one. I've seen a comic (partly) set in my home city, and let me tell you - if recogniseable landmarks are what you want, pick a place the creators have probably been!
    I find their lack of research disturbing.

    Well I imagine the majority of comic book writers and artists that work for Marvel, have at least been to San Diego due to SDCC.

    I'd say somewhere fictional and prominent in the MU, like Savage Land, Microverse etc.

    But it's got dinosaurs! It's like some kind of ancient place, some lost world, some Jurassic park!

    I'm not saying it ain't awesome, I'm just saying it is way overused in the marvel universe, and in many cases for some reason seems to be larger than the island of Antarctica actually is

    I just wish it'd come into the MCU. That could be cool.
