CHAOS WAR: DEAD AVENGERS #1 (of 3) - SPOILERS WITHIN!

[Tawmis]

It was alluded to that it was a combination of Shaman keeping their spirits anchored to the earth (paraphrasing) and Walter's deal with the Great Beasts that kept Alpha Flight alive, rather than crossing the barrier.
Yellowjacket & Swordman weren't there at the end when everyone else woke up.

Van Lente's confirmed that it was just the 4 Alphans that made it back alive.

I however, disagree. Because, Yellowjacket and Swordsman seem to break through the barrier; and what would be the point of bringing them back in Chaos War #5, if something wasn't going to be done with them?

Even in the Alpha Flight interview just recently - said that a mortal Herc tried to put it back together. So there's no doubt that he missed things. For example, people on the living side of Earth may have easily survived.

I just can't see why they wouldn't have just died in Dead Avengers, like the X-Men did in Dead X-Men - there'd be no point in bringing them into Chaos War #5 on the "living side" if something wasn't going to be done with them?

Fairplay mate, there's always room for a future writer to say it happened off-panel.

I am just curious is all. I think it's interesting that my impression was that they lived. And yet your impression is they died again. So I actually went around on several different forums and eGroups and proposed the question. I am curious to see how others see it!

I have read several interviews, all of which said that the only deaders that came back for good were the four Alphans.

Sorry Tawmis.

Interesting. So I wonder why they even had them in Chaos War #5...

Fan interest may cause them to come back at some point, who knows?

Yeah FVL actually wanted to bring Swordsman back for good, but was vetoed out. So yeah their back to the land of the dead

With how well they wrote Swordsman, I wouldn't be surprised. I still think they have something up their sleeve.

Yellowjacket's return is a bit of a surprise. Probably because no one is currently using the Yellowjacket guise... I would have thought if any of the "Hank Pym" alternate people wearing his guises... they would have brought back Scott Lang/Ant-Man, who I think was more popular...

But I... I just have a feeling we'll at least be seeing Swordsman ... much sooner than we think.

Interesting. They certainly put a lot of work into Swordsman...

Nope, don't have an account there

It's funny because you both said "veto"... not a common word to use, really, in every day lingo.
