Oooh ooh ooh! I got the variant cover today! It's a retailer incentive, not cover price. It's a nice shot of old skoo Illyana mirrored with new skoo, amazing. Me excited.

I saw an ad for it, and wanted to get it based on the art alone.
Now, it must be mine!

Hey, thanks for the link, King Mungi. Wow, I really love that Finch pin-up of eye-flamey Witchfire! I bet it becomes an alternate cover! I also like how he made those little pouches all over her, as if they are storing spell reagents or something. Well, this issue just looks as incredible as the first, can't wait!
Love,

The Witchfire by Finch is the cover to X-Infernus #3Originally Posted by rplass
Excellent! Alpha Flight on the cover! Thanks for the info, Hyperstorm.
I also see Marvel is re-printing issue #1, on top of the variant cover:

Yar, I got the reprint cover today, as well as issue #2 of the series. Witchfire is back! Illyana seems surprised to learn that Belasco has a daughter (we're not surprised... she should have read AF volume 1, duh), and it looks as if there's going to be a big battle next issue. Witchfire looks incredible in her new costume and I love what they've done with her firey eyes in almost every panel.
Love,

Issue #3 was awesome. Here is a preview of issue #4:

and from that page, it appears there will be a variant cover released. EDIT: the regular cover features (a very busty?!?!) Witchfire, and is also by Finch, the artist for the issue #3 regular cover.

spoiler space
SPOILER:Looks as if Ananym gets her hand chopped off by Kurt, that's no good. Fortunately, she grows back a new hand shortly thereafter. Gotta love that demonic regeneration thing!

Wonder what the outcome of Witchfire will be...death, stay in limbo, or whatever?
Be awesome if Talisman appeared, but that's very unlikely.
Yeah, I'm wondering too... it's unlikely she will be completely victorious, but let me say for once, it's refreshing to be rooting for the "bad guy"!!!
Love,
rplass
Hope they continue to use her, which is possible they will as Marvel seems to be using opposite genders of established characters as a theme. ie. Black Panther (female), Mr.Sinister (female), Bullseye (female), etc.
She would be the counterpart to Belasco.
Don't forget the new Quasar, and the new Loki, as well! You could also include Thor Girl into this mix, possibly. And, if you really want to get technical, the "new" Wasp is Hank Pym, so Wasp has gone from female to male as well.
When you think about it....this is pretty weird, isn't it? Hopefully when they bring AF back, they won't continue this trend. After all, Vindicator has been both male and female, and Sasquatch has REALLY been both male and female! Enuff already!

Well good news is Witchfire doesn't die, bad news is she is back in limbo and I'm not talking about Belasco's realm.
With all the heroes and villains coming back from the dead lately (Magik, Elektra, Mockingbird, Revanche/Kwannon, possibly soon the original Mastermind and also apparently Jean Grey, etc, etc...)...Why the heck is Alpha remaining dead?
I'm glad they didn't kill Witchfire off, at least (even though, I'm not a big fan of the character).

ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
