Alpha Flight 12

Since when can Aurora carry SASQUATCH in flight? Didn't he always have to tone down to being Walt for her to be able to lift him?

Kozzi, have you read it? I thought it wasn't due for another week?
So far, she's only carried Walt; come to think of it, isn't he a little heavy for her?

Aurora is strong, but she is in no way strong enought to carry Walt in his Sassy form(he did fly with her, piggy back style in issue#11, but he was in human form)....that's just another screw up...great...just when I thought the screw ups were over.

I think this is like the rushed ending of V2.... fit in things that make no sense just to get the Byrnites back. I'm getting it anyway and I'll be sad that Zuzha and MML will disappear forever like Feedback and Ghost Girl and others I liked.

I figure Aurora carrying Sasquatch is meant to be just get it over with stuff. No, I haven't seen the book yet.

I guess by next Friday Ben and/or Phil can tell us some news to cheer us up, eh?

BTW, first looks, for once, are up. You can start here:

Sorry Ben...as she is depicted on the first page of the milehigh site, I don't think that something stating she is in the issue and carrying Sasquatch during this time travel story, anything significant is spoiled.

heh, nope, not a big spoiler, if it was, I would have ust stuck the spoiler space in there myself Some folks are just quite sensitive about spoilers prior to reading the book. I'll be tempted to take a peek at it when I'm in town tomorrow, but I'll try and make myself wait 'till it's actually on the shelf.

I didn't recognize anyone, but I don't know everyone's real name.

A guy from Boardhost.com AF may have gotten one of his (I apologize if it's a her) printed. I've had one printed but years ago, and not in a comic but a previews thing.

So I'm gonna go ahead and assume this is the thread for discussion of #12. Just because.

Spolier space just in case

That seems like enough.

Good issue on the whole. I spent the majority of the read confused out of my gourd, but a reread cleared up most of that. Some of the Nemisis stuff still confuses me. Just a little. In any case, it was RUSHED. Crazy rushed. Aaaaand. . . There are TWO Byrne-era Flights now.

The art, of course, is gorgeous. If you're reading this Clayton: You are THE finest new pencilers in the industry. Your consistency is your finest asset. Never lose that. I really digged the designs for "lost in time" Mape and 'International Despot' Guardian.

The "where are they now" part at the end seemed more like a "this is where I was going with the series" part, but it was a decent way to wrap things up. The bit about Rutherford and Nemmy got an emotional response out of me. Maybe it's just the fact that it's really sinking in that this book is done. Since Dreamwave went under, it's all I've bought. . . And now. . . *sigh*
