Thanks for the Wild Child, KM.

I'm not going to say "I told you so", but I didn't think it was a good omen that all the remaining Canadian mutants were camping out on the X- Men's merry mutant island of death. Sigh...This is certainly depressing.

Well there is still more Canadian mutants out there, but they must have a bullseye on their back

But I thought Bullseye was Hawkeye now, Reggie!
So shouldn't they have a dark hawkeye on their back?

Er...you just did.

*shakes fist* curse you!

[Flightpath07]

I am cursed already. No more Alpha Flight, remember?

[lending]

I too agree with second part.

Another sign Marvel must hate Canada, or better, all its superheroes...

I too have been reeling with the attitude of lets kill off and debase Alpha Flight at every opportunity that seems to be pervasive at Marvel HQ these days.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see Madison Jeffries playing such an integral role in the X-Books and seeing Northstar in the background is great even if they don't seem to play him true to form in either personality or abilities. But I always held out some hope that from the travesty that was Omega Flight their just be a chance of a relaunched team. Narya, Walter, the Twins and Elizabeth making up the core but pulling in Wild Child, Lil and or Marrina heck they could even keep Arachne. Obviously not to be.

When Namor killed Marrina (again) it seemed so pointless other than to demonstrate how evil Osbourne can be. Okay so poor Miss Smallwood never really had a chance at happiness from the get go - heck she went all feral Plodex in Vol.1 Issue 2. right? I could get past that. But Lil? Say it isn't so.

When Jeffries started to play a major role in the X-Books I figured it was only a matter of time before we saw Lil who we all knew was alive (thanks to the 19. They had SO much bumper material to pull from to flesh out some lovely back stories for this pair - but no. Some idiot child with no respect for the characters in his charge wanted a gratuitous and pointless death that doesn't even makes sense when you think about Lil's powers. Ridiculous.

I am a sad Alpha fan. Sad for Aurora and Persuasion stuck in limbo. Sad for Walter & Narya who are out there from time to time ever looking over their shoulders to see if Joe Q has them in his sights. Sad that Jean Paul gets one line cameos and no real development after a promising beginning back with the X-Folks (wary of the fact that he's already been killed twice before now). Sad that Heather, Puck & Shaman are stuck in that bloody casino in Atlantic City.

But most sad for the fact that Michael Pointer still exists. Thank heavens for some small mercies however that he is out of the Guardian suit.

Well said Kal!
