Civil War: The Initiative- (SPOILERS!!) Alpha Flight related

[Canucklehead]

I thought the big reveal about who is in the Guardian suit was supposed to be in issue #2 of OF?

It all changed when the book was reduced to a mini.

[Obsidian3d]

Hey that's a good point. I do (albeit vaguely) recall that being mentioned! Can't remember where or from who though. Does anyone know if we're imagining things here? I wonder if it ended up being one of the changes they had to make due to the restructuring from ongoing to mini-series.

I thought the change that was made when the book got downgraded was that the reveal went from issue 3 to issue 2?

[Mokole]

Yes, that's what Mike Oeming said, the reveal was to be in #3, when it was downgraded he had to push it into issue #2.

But did Mike know nothing of Initiatives, or....

[Flightpath07]

Hey, does anybody remember a while back, when Loki was asked if, since he knew well in advance who was going ot be in the Guardian suit, he thought us Alpha Flight fans would be pleased with what was revealed?
I beleive his answer ot the question went something like this...
" "

Well, now I understand why that was his answer...

Perhaps this is when it is revealed to the Canadian public and then all hell breaks loose in Marvel continuity. Unless Marvel Canadians are different from you fine folks here, eh ?

[-K-M-]

If anything look at the postive side, with Mike being in the suit it definetly has people talking.

[Mokole]

Just to change velocities

I asked Marvel what was the status of Alpha Flight, who died in New Avengers, what's the status of Lobdell Flight, and got no answer for a long time, but now:

"The people who died in New Avengers #16, by the hand of the Collective, were the Alpha Flight members who returned from seeing the Plodex plus the two new recruits."

And as to the time displaced members and where they are:

Omega Flight editor Andy Schmidt says:
"To my knowledge, we've never said one way or the other, so, technically, they still exist. At least, until someone says they don't."

The second quote was passed on to me by a buddy who has two sons who got subscriptions to OF, no wonder he got an answer faster!

But an answer is an answer.

GREAT news!
So, the possibility that some of our heroes could reappear in OF pages, or other comics at some point in time, is in existence.
Yahoo!!!
Hope still lives. It is a great great day for Alpha Flight.

Hope still lives. It is a great great day for Alpha Flight.

I dunno, man.

The temporal copies...

*sigh*

It's kinda like non-alcoholic beer.

Sorry if this is a stupid question (I still have not read vol 3) but there are Alpha members lost in time? So this means that, conceivably; someone can pull a Captain Mar-Vel and pull them into the current time stream?

Wow, what a freakin' mess, thanks for the info Your Majesty.

The only thing even slightly compelling about this fact would be the look on Mailman Mike's face when he ran into them.
