Big Plans For Puck

[Legerd]

Jason Aaron, writer for Wolverine: Road To Hell, reveals some news regarding Puck:

Moving on, Ahab hopes you can help him in his search. Instead of a great white, however, he's looking for a great Flight…

Without giving away the fate of my favorite vertically-challenged Canadian hero (Puck!), is there a chance of seeing other Alpha Flight-related characters in the pages of "Wolverine" anytime soon?



I would love nothing more than to play with some of those Alpha Flight toys. But for now, I'll just say that there are big plans for Puck, both in the pages of "Wolverine" and elsewhere.

that sort of confirms what I've been assuming. Puck with become the villain for AF in the one shot, most likely a pawn of the Chaos King. He's the only original charachter not seen in the solicits.

NOOOOOOooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PWalk]

I don't know, if presented well I could live with Judd going to the dark side.

"big plans"??? does this mean he is growing tall and old again?

[Phil]

I don't think that Puck'll have anything to do with Chaos War.
I imagine that he'll get out of hell with Wolverine at the end of the arc, become a supporting character in the title for a bit and then rejoin an ongoing Alpha title next year.

"This is a full reunion of the core cast. We've got Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora and Snowbird," McCann stated. "Sharp eyed readers will notice there is a missing name from that list. The character is a very popular member, and that's Puck. That is addressed in the one shot. I can't say much more than that."

[Phil]

The fact that it's not a full reunion sounds like he won't be in the book at all.
I took the being addressed as meaning a throw away line to explain that he's not in the one shot because he's in hell.
When the announcement of the oneshot & that interview came out, it hadn't been revealed that it was Puck in Wolverine.

But that's just the way my mind thinks. I'm usually wrong

[Ben]

heck, I'm just making an assumption...and you know what they say when you ass-u-me....

This is a full reunion of the core cast.

The fact that it's not a full reunion sounds like he won't be in the book at all.

But it says it is a full reunion, just he hasn't listed Puck's name there.
Just to confuse the pot a little. Now look what it's calling the kettle!

You got me concerned that you were on to something there, until I remembered that the writer of Wolverine said in an interview that Puck was looking to escape Hell. I guess that doesn't preclude him not wanting the rest of his fellow Alphans from being able to escape but if that is truly the case, it will be interesting to know the reasoning behind it...

[Flightpath07]

I could not fathom Puck as a villain.

Nor could I fathom AF exisitng long-term without Puck on the squad.

Should either of these options turn out to be true, I can't imagine I will be happy about it.

[Mokole]

Puck won't be a villain. He'll appear in AF soon enough after he saves Wolverine's butt.

To echo, mos_def...

NOOOOOOooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, to be fair, they are treating the whole "I have a demon inside of me and so I am long-lived and shrunken" thing as absolute canon, so...if you do not expect Razzor (sp?) to get out at some point and Puck to show up old and NBA-ish, you might want to think again. As long as they go with this reasoning for him being a dwarf, it is likely to pop up again...VERY unfortunately.
