Not sure I wanted to see that one. I don't think a lot of people know that the title was changed to a mini after work was started. Everyone complains that USAgent, Arachne and BRB weren't in the first issue, how slow it unfolded, etc. Maybe with OF #2 the pace will pick up and people will be happy.

"...there's not enough in this first issue to justify all the angry protests Marvel heard for the past month."

An interesting comment considering that is one of the reasons AF fans were as upset/disappointed as they were. 5 issues is hardly enough to explain a new team, new plot, as well as explain a bit about what happened since AF v3. I find it interesting that the author of this review all but says that properly explaining a plot is a negative attribute for a first issue...

My favorite part of Alpha Flight was the character development, hard to accomplish in only 5 issues.
My 2 cents.
