    Man, the more they try to explain Wolverine's backstory, the dumber it gets.

    That Sasquatch is terrible looking too. Maybe Scott can send the artist some pointers on how to do a decent job of drawing him.

    Tip #1 for drawing Sasquatch: Don't.

    That has to be the most rediculous comic I've seen in years. How did Chewbacca get in there?

    He hitched a lift with a buzzer.
    Buzzers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They pick a planet that hasn't yet developed interstellar travel and 'buzz' them-land in a lonely field in front of some poor naive slob who nobody's ever gonna believe, and strut up and down in front of them with antennae on their heads, making 'beep beep' noises.

    Rather childish, really.

    I find it highly "improbable" that occured. Maybe he was changed into a whale or a bowl of roses before he ended up in the comic? Maybe the mice got ahold of Loeb's brain to extract the answer? 42? What is six times seven? That would explain the wookie being in that book because it''s clearly not Sasquatch. Sasquatch did seven amazing things that morning and was rounding it off with breakfast at...

    Default Gotta keep it! It's continuity!

    Gotta make it fit! Can't imagine it didn't happen!

    It's "continuity"!

    Somebody's making (or trying to turn) the Alpha Flight characters into cash-cows, popping them into books where they really don't belong.
    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.

    And I thought I was insane, but these new stories . . . I don't think they ret-conned Kyle so much as destroyed him totally I can see Sabretooth as a Nazi, but Kyle? How can they toss his entire history out the window? What about Wyre? The Secret Empire? Valerie Cooper and Teenage Kyle? Who is the idiot writing these stories? What's next, Wolvie is an alien? A god? Sasquatch is really Chewbacca? (Star Wars cross-over! Marvel did make a Star Trek cross-over once, I didn't read it.) I know, Wolvie is an avatar of Mephisto! That's it! I'll submit my idea to Marvel, if they'd buy that crap, they'd buy my stupid ideas!

    But I still love "Herr" Gibney, even if he is an agent of evil! Seriously, I'll remember him as the old Kyle, not this trauma-induced nightmare of poor writing and horrific ret-conning....

    Well, I guess it's time I moved to Manga, I just don't much like Marvel anymore. They killed off or ruined every good character they had: Kyle, Skin, X-Treme...

    Didn't the Golgafrinchans (sp) retcon the 6x7. Maybe it's them who are influencing Loeb

    Considering in his origin in X-Factor Kyle Gibney was a normal youth who was mutated by the Secret Empire, then discovered he was a mutant and now he's Feral in WW2! Quick to the Milenium Falcon, we must use the 'Farce' to undo this retconned retcon.

    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!

    At the moment, it's best to just take a breath and chalk it up to being a fever dream and nothing more.

    Wolverine did fight in WWII...A couple of times with Cap A...Maybe his brain just added Wild Child in as a Nazi antagonist, because he was just recently attacked by Kyle?

    Look at me...Being all level-headed...I must be getting old.

    Use the SCHWARTZ!!! It wouldn't make the storyline any less plausible . . . :P

    That's totally not true.

    It was twice.
    Three times if you count the prose novel.

    Whhhhhhhhhhhhhhat? If Sasquatch was his normal size, he'd a just stepped on him. But because he's all Wookied-out, I bet Kyle was almost as tall as him. Am I right?



    (I think I was generous with Kyle's height too)
