Ben mentioned earlier that he was out of the loop a bit in regards to AF appearences and synopsis since Vol 2 went belly up. Anyone?

Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.

Zonds! that'll keep me busy for months!
you can pretty much avoid any alpha appearence that was written by chuck austen.
safe yourself the anger.
*sigh*
sasquatch in "juggernaut armor"
*sigh*
I'm almost in total agreement here, apart from UXM 414 which had Northstar on his first mission and that exploding kid. Actually made me appreciate NS as a character.

I've been keeping the database on our yahoogroups page pretty damn complete, and adding cover scans where possible.
Personal favourites off the top of my head:
Wolverine #172-3. This is THE classic AF as only Byrne had written them. Tieri does an amazing job here.
Exiles #5-6. A nice alternate Alpha team.
Exiles #32. A really nice Alt (White) Sasquatch cover by Liam Sharp.
Exiles #33. Pretty much an all (Alt) Sasquatch issue, with some cameos. Penned by Judd Winwick, quite a nice inisht into sas, even if it's not ours.
Wolverine #179-180. Introduces Shaman's protogé. Not a bad story...
Uncanny X-Men #414. As with Del, the only Austen issue I'll endorse.
One's to avoid:
X-Men Unlimited #45. All AF, All out of character.
These issues were the reason I said I would like Tieri to to write AF when I heard they were getting a new series.Originally Posted by Phil
One thing going through my head recently, Austen writes AF for ****, but does a pretty good job when writing NS. Just an opinion.Originally Posted by Phil
