Just out of curiosity, where did you get the image of ALPHA's demise at the beginning of your article, and yes I feel that Alpha has never been given the proper respect in the comic world.

I don't put the pictures in my articles - Ben does (at least, I assume it's Ben).
That's a good excuse to do something I've been meaning to do for awhile -- thank him.
Thank you, Ben. (Or, y'know, whoever.)
I think that one's from an issue of New Avengers; not #16, of course, but later on when they started to flesh out what happened. A tiny bit.

One could argue that Marvel treats all of it's 2nd and 3rd tier teams/characters as jokes/cannon-fodder (Whether it be Alpha Flight, Generation X, Winter Guard and even New Warriors)....Which is really unfortunate, because all of these characters and groups have such potential to be money-makers, instead they are bad-mouthed, looked-down on and joked about by characters, creators and editors alike. Certainly Marvel does handle some characters and groups well, but there are others that Marvel handles equally badly.
Why not keep the jokes and put-downs to the villains and superhero wannabees and stop ruining the reps of actual heroes?
