    Default Comic Book News Mentions

    There are enough mentions of Alpha Flight on CBR that I thought it could be its own thread, rather than a new thread every time. (Then when I wrote the title, I thought I should expand it to any news site).

    Today's is the following:
    https://www.cbr.com/captain-marvel-doctor-minerva/

    Sasquatch is clearly pictured; I assume with Captain Marvel in Civil War II.

    Here are another two mentions on CBR:
    https://www.cbr.com/wolverine-agent-of-shield/
    includes pages from What If...? (vol. 2) #7, which have Mac on them.

    Second, but farrr worse:
    https://www.cbr.com/superhero-team-s...red-off-panel/
    We all know the answer to the article title's question without reading the article.

    Here's an article about Alpha Flight:
    https://www.cbr.com/john-byrnes-alph...ears-from-now/

    (It's kind of based on an article that first appeared right here.)

    I remember watching Red Dwarf when I was younger... incredibly funny series.
    The Flight Forever !

    Yeah! Red Dwarf is a lot of fun.

    There's been another Alpha Flight article just a few days later:
    https://www.cbr.com/hulk-alpha-flight-crossover/

    (I don't recognise the screen name of whoever who suggested it, and haven't read it yet.)

    This talks about the resolution to the Zeitgeist story from Hudnall's run.

    CBR have just done a top 50 writers and artists:
    John Byrne is #15 writer (https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-top-writers-15-11/), but it's his artist listing that's of specific interest:
    https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-top-artists-3-1/

    The write-up name drops Alpha Flight. (It's nothing more than an off-handed mention, though.)

    Here's one I wasn't expecting, and actually disagree with; a list of "Brawn Over Brains – Marvel’s 10 Strongest X-Men":
    (What about DC's Strongest X-Men? Huh? Nobody talks about them!)

    https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/...rongest-x-men/

    The first one (#10) is Northstar. Has he been retconned to have extra physical strength?

    I think the key line is "Here are the 10 strongest X-Men currently on rosters"

    That could be it - I have no idea who or what's currently on the rosters.

    However, the article does estimate he could catch a station wagon…?
    Is that true nowadays?

    It seems to be taking some flimsy logic; I wouldn't compare JP to either Captain America or Spider-Man...
