Introduce Yourself

[Alphan East]

NAME: Darren
AGE: 47
LOCATION: Moncton, NB CANADA
INTERESTS: comics, movies, soccer, CFL football

BIO: Started off in my early years as an Avengers fan... back in the days of Thor, Vision, Cap, Yellowjacket, Beast, etc. Then one day in 1979, I saw a comic at the corner store called "X-Men", issue 120. It was called "Chaos in Canada". I opened it up and there on page 2 was a superhero wearing the Canadian flag... MY FLAG ! Read it over and over and over again until issue 121 came out the following month... and I was hooked. There in my hands were Canadian superheros, something I had never seen before. Went searching for (and found) a copy of X-men 109... and I have followed Alpha Flight and Wolverine ever since. I've even turned my two sons into comic fans (I hope they'll eventually forgive me for that). I've also stuck with Marvel through all of the $#!t they've done to my Flight. Hopefully this series will make them realize it is a team worth doing... and worth doing right.

Hi everyone, I've been following this site for a long time and now with news of a new ongoing from the current Fear Itself mini series, I've decided to finally jump on board. Just a little about myself, I'm a current graduate student at NIU and I will be getting my *knock of wood* M.S.Ed in instructional tech this December. I'm a lot time fan of Alpha Flight and a huge Guardian and Sasquatch fan. I'll talking about the series more on my website: http://www.readsreads.com be sure to check it out.

NAME: Donovan
BIRTH DATE: Canada Day, 1975.
LOCATION: Winnipeg, MB, Canada
OCCUPATION: Website Designer, Comic Book Colourist
INTERESTS: Comics, colouring, Winnipeg Jets!

BIO: Grew up in rural manitoba, and moved to Winnipeg for University in 93. Lived here ever since. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography with a major in Graphic Design. I'm currently a website designer, and colour comic books in the evening. I've done colour separations for Marvel and DC (which is slightly different than being an actual colourist), and colour reconstruction jobs for the Marvel Masterworks line of hardcovers. I recently wrapped up a long run of colouring Dark Horse's Chronicles of Conan series. Never worked on Alpha Flight, but I'd like to!

I'm a current graduate student at NIU and I will be getting my *knock of wood* M.S.Ed

Good luck!
Did you mean NYU, or is NIU a university I haven't heard of? (I'm not up on North American geography.)

It would seem like it's pretty quiet here.. but I'll be the loud person. That's pretty typical for me anyways.

NAME: MaryAnne
BIRTH DATE: 3 January 1980 (See, I was gutsy and put the year in there!)
LOCATION: Tacoma, WA right now, but that tends to change a lot
OCCUPATION: Currently, I'm an Army officer. Soon I'll be back to school for journalism.
INTERESTS: Comics, costuming, historical reenactments (and the associated wardrobes, of course!), movies, photography, and food/drink pairings

BIO: Where to start?!! I grew up (mostly) in western NY, with a few years spent between Virginia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. I started reenacting when I was 14. I got my AS right away (in history) and then took a 5 year break, where I worked all kinds of crazy jobs and also started costuming. And at the end of that 5 year break I joined the Army, where I got to have a lot more adventures, but a lot less time to do pretty much everything else! With the Army I've gotten to spend time in Washington (state), Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Afghanistan, Louisiana, and now I'm back to Washington- whew! I'll start my "out of Army" life in the Spring, and will be moving and starting school for Journalism. Whee, adventure! I'm very much looking forward to the changes coming in my life, and very much anticipate being back in a creative environment. Live is good, people!

I love traveling. There are still a LOT of places left for me to visit, but I'm working on that, too. And the good part of me moving so much is that my family members have gotten to come visit, so it gives them a chance to see more of the USA as well!
