I just sent two emails(and I'm working on a snail mail letter too)....one to Marvel and one to Joe Quesada. Both letters were very polite and offered my viewpoints on why this series and the last series failed to generate the sales needed to keep them ongoing(i.e. the fact that both vol 2 and 3, lacked the main elements that would keep long-time Af readers buying the series....Alpha Flight itself). I basically stated my personal opinions and backed up why I feel the way I do.
I asked for AF to be relaunched soon, with a premise more in touch with Volume one, indicating that AF has a rich history and a wealth of characters to use and explore. The original AF needs to return and new characters are welcome too, but to ignore the origins and original faces of this team is a big, big mistake(two failed series prove this). Some people may not see eye to eye with me on this, but I believe I am correct on this. I know a few AF fans here have had very similar, if not the very same feelings on why the series failed. I'm glad I'm not alone in my opinion.
I hope my letters will reach somebodys' eyes/mind(s)/heart(s) and they will relaunch the book the way it was meant to be.
