The Return of Alpha Flight!

[Mokole]

Well, hard to say out of Shaman or the Hudsons who'll be the happy one holding things together on the dead side. Living side I'd say Sasquatch or Snowbird.

So if the 'devil' is the Great Beasts, Shaman won't be happy about being alive, and Snowbird won't. Sasquatch will have to hold the living team together. Heather/Mac will be happy to be alive and keep the 'dead' in it.

Remember, he said they fight on 3 fronts, maybe Puck in Hell, Sasquatch, Guardian, Vindicator, and Marrina fighting the Chaos King minions, Snowbird, Shaman and the twins fighting the Great Beasts.

Where’s Puck? You may want to check this out. Sounds like he might be busy. If it’s him. (Also, it’s explained in the story)

Busy = not in this story.

[Flightpath07]

Naw, I still think that is Gary Coleman, not Puck.

As far as I'm concerned, there is no Alpha Flight without Puck. He may not have been "resurrected" in this issue, but he is still the heart and soul of the team, and it won't survive without him.

Also, if "where is Puck?" is "explained in the story", then he IS technically in the one-shot.

[Le Messor]

I agree with Tiberius.
I don't get why the idea of shuffling the Hudsons off to the side is so popular... But what do I know?

Maybe he will be in the background with a red and white striped shirt and we just have to look for him. But I also agree that both Hudsons need to be active participants in the storyline. Heather is the heart and Mac is the brain of Alpha.

Are you asking Digger to wear them?

No!
No, no, no.
...
Yes.

[DIGGER]

What do you think I'm wearing... oops forgot the scarf! Damn!

Oh man, I must have hit the keys wrong and got onto that fetish site. Again.

shoot, if anyone's going to stay home with the kid, i'd vote for mac. Heather lead alpha flight longer than he did (and has a better track record of not getting herself blown up in the field).

Byrne was the only author who has undeedstood Mac, what drove him and what he was like beneath the Guardian suit. Then he grew bored, and killed him. And comics have been all downhill from there. It's time to let Mac rest - for good.

CHAOS WAR: ALPHA FLIGHT #1
Written by JIM McCANN
Penciled by REILLY BROWN
Cover by SALVA ESPIN
CHAOS WAR tie-in!
ALPHA FLIGHT IS BACK! Original members Guardian, Vindicator, Shaman and Marina are back from the great beyond to join their team in battle larger than life or death! As CHAOS KING and his army cut a path of destruction across the Marvel Universe, the return of Alpha Flight may just be what the heroes need to turn the tide. So why does one team member want to put Alpha Flight back in the grave?

I am so glad the cover artist is different than the interior art. I was not digging that cover art.

I actually enjoyed almost every Byrne issue after Mac died (after getting over the shock of his death, of course)...I don't see the issues going downhill (except after Byrne left), but that's just my feeling. I loved Talisman's intro, the Great Beast stories (even with the Sasquatch/Tanaraq revelation), The Plodex killings and the return of the Master, Roger Bochs and Madison Jeffries joining up and I thought the fake-out Guardian resurrection was genius.
