wow, i didnt think marvel did that... you'd think that they'd try to keep fans and do things for the fans.
well, that reminds me of a comment when i was reading about the iredeemable ant-man that a guy said to te fans that you have to remeber that this is a business.
well this sucks...

Yeah, I always find it odd when they say "it's a business", then completely ignore what their customers ask for. If they want an AF book to sell then they need to do a better job all around with it. Put together a good creative team, promote the book positively, write the characters as heroes (not villains or losers or jokes) and include them in big events beyond just being extras who get taken out to show how powerful the bad guy is.

I'd have to add to this list "offering subscriptions". The last couple attempts didn't offer you the chance to cast your vote with a subscription order. Only on presales at comic shops. It's been a long time since they actually gave the title a chance. I think Vol.2 tried to do it justice, but it just came together way too slow and everyone but the die hards dropped the book because they weren't getting Vindicator and crew at all. Vol.3 didn't even try to make the book anything more than a bad joke. And Omega took the insult a step farther and stripped the team of most of it's Canadian characters. Sure there were nods to the old school throughout Omega, but the treatment it got going from an ongoing to a mini before it even hit the presses really killed it. I think the only nod Marvel has ever given the Fight for the Flight is calling us a bunch of whiners. I don't know about everyone here, but I felt my e-mail voiced very real reasons why Alpha/Omega did (would) not succeed. I got tired of paying to be called names, so I stopped buying their comics. Still they've found a way to milk a little money out of me, by putting out mini-busts of my favorite Alphans, the original lineup. Weird that they felt those would sell, but the comic book containing them wouldn't. I won't hold my breath for a Vol.4, and won't likely buy it until I've heard from folks that I trust here that it is worth my money. In fact it's strange to have been away for about 8 months only to come back to the exact discussions we were having when I left. Hope burn eternal I guess!

So wait barnacle you didnt like omega flight? i thought guardian was in it, wasnt he?

well maybe there too busy with secret invasion to even think about alpha flight...

well maybe in marvel ultimate alliance 2 they will allow you to play as alpha flight members?

Omega flight members, U.S. agent and beta ray bill were playable marvel: ultimate alliance, but only as alternate costumes.

so why cant any of us make our own alpha flight comics?

and we should get a chat room for this site, it'd be very nice

I know you didn't just say that!

(Don't look, Dana, don't look.)

Um, no, he wasn't. The guy who killed Alpha Flight dressed up in his costume for the duration of the mini-series (and later Marvel Comics Presents).

**crys**

[Le Messor]

Sorry... Now I'm embarrassed.

Or am I glad I did it? Glad, see!

S'rously, dood, that's kind of a sore point for some of us. There are those who do NOT like that guy calling himself Guardian.

But mistakes are okay. I've made pelntay in my day.
