    Ben, Del...I'm not going to say anything negative about OM...Honest!

    I empathize with all of you...This sucks and it's really $h!tty. I was half-hoping that OM (even though I've been against the idea of it) would do well and pave the way for Alpha to return (hopefully, it still can)...But this seems like another attempt to sabotage a Flight book by Marvel, even before it comes out. Joke Quesada really knows how to kill a series/character franchise.

    Marvel seems to be going out of it's way to piss off older readers, confuse new ones and irritate and alienate fans of various teams/characters (Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver/Alpha Flight and anything-anyone AF-related/New Warriors/Avengers)....Not to mention having many of their heroes act totally out of character during their Civil War debacle. This is one of the biggest reasons why the Handbooks are the only Marvel books I usually buy....Sigh.

    What if Omega Flight has been changed to 5 issues is because at the end of issue 5 they once again become Alpha Flight?

    I know it’s a long shot, but a guy can dream.

    That would be great. It's a nice dream, even nicer if it becomes reality.

    Dana, I know we haven't seen eye to eye on a lot of stuff regarding OF, but I just wanted to say thanks for what your wrote above and if anything good can come out of this, it will be an AF series built from what OF gives us. Thanks again.

    Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
    Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
    Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
    Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
    Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!

    This is very bad news!!! I can't believe Marvel turns a series with so much hype into a simple mini-series of 5 issues. I was feeling very excited and when Oeming mentioned the second story arc would involve former AF characters I became more excited thinking that AF could finally achieve the respect they deserve but Marvel is too stupid to differ good things from ------- things. I feel like when they cancelled F V2 (which I think was the best era after Byrne). I just hope we are given an explanation about this. I feel cheated by Marvel as a fan.

    Sorry, I did not expressed myself very clearly. I was refering to that dress:

    And then, I thought it would not be practical on fighting and would probably show.

    I see how you end up think of Janet Jackson, but lets face it, we never saw Janet full..hum...bumper(?) There was a little thing glue to her nipple, So, unless Elisabeth got a diamond on her nipple, we can't say it's like Janet :P (I just think, I scared half the men on that list and the other half reading are... well... )

    But yeah, I can't quite picture her... working in that. Can you imagine what you happen if she kicked someone in that thing? The comic's rating would go from PG to MA!
    Lol, totally. What MA stand for. I understand it's for mature, but mature what?

    Heroes for Hire was tested as a Daughter of the Dragon Mini, It sold well, and is now an ongoing.

    Madrox was a mini that sold well and became X-Factor vol3.

    Omega is a now a mini....I wonder how we could get it ongoing?

    Works in reverse as well
    Alpha vol3 Bombed.....Team Killed
    New Warriors "Reality Check" Bombed.....Team Killed
    The Thing Bombed......Currently in France

    If we're lucky, our VERY loud condemnation of the policy change may be forcing a very quick rethink along the lines of "wake up and smell the coffee". Could we finally be getting respected?

    Both AF v3 and New Warriors were jokefests aimed at a very limited audience.

    But New Warriors gets a revival too, want to bet it's not downgraded to a mini in 3 months?

    The last two Punisher series sold poorly, now we get Punisher War Journal again.

    Several X-men series bombed lately, but we get another Wolverine series and X-23 again, as if that gets more than X fanboys going. Too bad there still are so many people willing to buy anything wolverinish just because

    MA would be the rating of the Grammies if JLo's dress has flown open. That kinda 'mature'.
    I seriously want the Walter stuffed animal from AF #106. Seriously.
