Unfortunately, I have the feeling Marvel meant "Ultimate" Alpha Flight to stain the name of Alpha Flight even more than it had been. Most Marvel "talent" has done Alpha Flight wrong over the past few years, except for a few good guys like Fred Van Lent, Oeming, etc...Who've attempted to show respect for the characters...But those guys are in the minority, regretfully.
I also think those that want to do an Alpha Flight series (and who may have put proposals in) are being shot down by Marvel Editorial (even whether those proposals are good or not), because the big wigs just don't believe in the viability of the Flight anymore. Omega Flight should have shown them the error of their ways, but apparently they're ignoring it's success.
