    Default Senior moment

    Can anybody tell me where that big listing of Alpha Flight appearances with "minor" and "major" designations is? I forgot and can't find it.
    Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."

    They were ALPHA FLIGHT....

    ...once upon a time.

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I just recently changed the site to be easier to use. Now instead of having to download every single entry in the database, it is broken up alphabetically. So if you click on a title that starts with say, "C" it loads a page with only the "C" entries. It runs a lot faster this way and is more convenient. If you still want to download every single entry, you can click "All" from the home page and the long big listing will still load.

    Love,

    The one complaint, well complaint's a strong word, I have with the site, is that although on the index page you an updated list of how many issues you have, there's no way of seeing what those newly added issues are, so a returning viewer can't see what's recently been added without going through the whole list and trying to work it out.

    Maybe a view by date added format, or just an updates list?

    Just my reasoning, like, no offence meant.

    HA! Complaints are not only allowed, they are also highly encouraged.

    I'll add a little section for "recently added" entries. The kicker is that I hand-code all the html in Notepad because I'm sort of a web-spaz and don't have any fancy programming SKILZ to make a nice database. It just looks that way.

    Heh, I just don't have the time or the patience to create anything anymore, it's why I added the appearances section in the forum, which I still struggle to update regularly.

    Well, I'll be happy to take over the appearances updates on this site to relieve you of the burden.

    Yeah, OK I put up a list of recently added issues for you. I also have them archived by date on the "News" page should you miss an update. So far I have had only 1 update since you asked me to do this. I also put up a short list of known upcoming appearances.

    I still expect you to complain.

    Thank you :P

    And whilst not a complaint, the Gambit & the X-Ternals appearance you've listed is only in the 2nd printing X-Tra Edition (and the same with all the #1 2nd prints), not the first printing.

    So you're saying that the same Wild Child pin-up can be found in all of the AoA titles #1 issues with 2nd printing? Or do you mean that the pin-up can only be found in the Gambit and the X-Ternals #1 (2nd printing)a and not the 1st printing? I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

    Love,

    Not a complaint, but a comment

    X-Men Unlimited #14
    James was never resurrected by Archangle, his healing blood healed him but didn't bring him back from death. Basically when James got attacked by surpize it was Shaman who asked the air to feed him and hold him in statis. The air agreeded, and Shaman's ancestors have watched over James until AF could arrive. Then they did all they could to help me and placed him in that other exo suit. He collaspes and Archangel saves him by giving him his blood. I don't think he died there.

    Good issue, except I was upset Dr. Jiroult punked James. Nice to see a issue all about Alpha Flight.

    Wow, it sure was nice of them to help you.

    I re-read that issue and still think that Mac died after the 2nd blast. I believe he was still alive, barely, when the air agreed to keep him in stasis. But after Jiroult's 2nd attack and that schmaltzy "here's your new baby, now you can die" scene, he really died. Heather would not have had that reaction if he was just really weakened.

    Besides, Mac is incredibly good at dying, and just as good at getting himself resurrected.
