Article: Marvel Premier Classics X-Men: Alpha Flight HC

[rplass]

Solicited for Feb 2011: X-Men and Alpha Flight (both series) along with Uncanny X-Men #s 109, 120, 121, 139 and 140! With a variant cover reprinting Cockrum's Weapon Alpha! Awesome.

Any price-tag on that puppy? Because that sounds tempting, but paying money for Ben Raab's work ever again puts me on the fence so far as acquiring it goes.

[Flightpath07]

Cool.

[rplass]

Here's the cover which I love love love:

And the variant


The price is $34.99 (for each)

Yeah the variant is by far superior.

Fantastic!
Will buy this for sure, even though I usually only buy softcovers.
So we have Alpha action in new comics and trades...cool!
Next I would like:
1 A new Alpha Flight ongoing
2 Alpha Flight Classic Volume 2 TPB
3 Alpha Flight Vol 2 (90s) Ultimate Collection TPB (complete series in 1 volume)
4 Northstar limited series + extras TPB

And a pony.

Check any of the other Marvel Premiere Classics series, the 2 layered colour version is always the variant.

Yes, I've posted that I've been collecting all of them - so this will be mine either way.
That said, I really can't predict whether they'll include the bonus material, but knowing them I'm leaning towards 'yes' - but I wouldn't be surprised if it was tacked on to the end.

But I can confirm what Phil posted - the 2 layered colour version is always the variant. And really annoying when the three you had to buy over Amazon turned out not to be the variant!

And a pony.

Aww myannnn, Suzene, you know my horse is dead!

Okay, maybe you didn't know that...


Buffy: How was school today?
Dawn: The usual, big square building filled with boredom and despair.
Buffy: Just how I remember it.

A little research later:
The Wikipedia page for Marvel Premier Classics says it'll reprint Uncanny X-Men, not Classic X-Men, so I'm not going to hold my breath for the bonus material.

Husband: Darling, will you love me when I'm old and feeble?
Wife: You bet I do.

[humanracin]

Yes a pony in a Guardian suit...why didn't I think of that!

Seriously though, how many bloody Avengers trades do we get every month, it's not too much to ask for a couple of AFs?

And we get what 5 or so Deadpool comics every month, just give us 1 AF comic... that is all, end rant!

[Phil]

Kinda bummed I bothered buying the Asgardian Wars HC now, but there's no way I can't pick this up....

[Phil]

And the variant is the Smith cover, not the other one(which they list as being by Byrne).

Are you sure about this? I'm fairly certain I did this right, the Cockrum cover being the partial reprinting of the cover of UXM #109 as the variant and the Smith cover reprinting the wraparound cover of the X-Men Alpha Flight crossover is the regular cover.

EDIT: I fixed the OP with the correct info

Don't make me come over there! >

that's great for new readers, so they can enjoy some of the harder to find important AF stuff!
