Not that we're drawing connections here.
I like to think of it more as sculpting.

Us non artistic types prefer to join the dots. That way we have the illusion of art with non of the profficiency of the artist.

Yeah... let's stay away from public thoughts like that... just to be on the safe side...

[Le Messor]

Yeah, we don't want to attack people here. Ideas, maybe, if they're bad - but not the people.

Ive been out of the loop since I just had my baby girl. This is great to come back to the site and see this. FVL is great with Alpha. He might even rival Byrnes run

Most definitely, Mos_Def.

fred van lente is not shy about giving interviews or taking questions from fans which i love about him.

anyways, he did a interview and my tweet question was asked about the hudsons baby (pmoody28 listen at about the 17:20 mark

http://byodinsbeard.wordpress.com/20...ns-episode-11/

then i tweeted him about continuation of the numbering (more of a joke) and beta flight, to which he replied:

fredvanlente Fred Van Lente



See AF #0.1 for Beta.
RT @pmoody28 Once #alphaflight becomes ongoing: continuation of numbering (131) and beta flight back! make it so!

i dont think we could have asked for a better creative team with the ideas we have all been wishing for. if alpha flight fails this time it wont be from lack of effort.

i just pre-ordered 10 copies!!

[Phil]

Betans? :O

See, this is how I know Fred loves the title.

[Phil]

And again, thanks to Varo we have this lil titbit of info from FVL over on Dale Eaglesham's site

hey guys, was just curious about a few characters involvement. any chance we see:

1) talisman?

Likely.

Thanks for posting that Phil. So far everything about this maxi-series and the .1 issue is hitting all the right notes. The only thing now is for Marvel to promote it more as the company has been absent when it comes to pushing it. Not that the creative crew hasn't been out there doing interviews and posting on their websites, I just would hope folks like Brevoort would be shilling it in his Talk To The Hat column, and that they would post something about the .1 in the May solicits on the Marvel website. Still, very exciting.

Man, can't wait for May to roll around!

It's too bad there weren't more Byrne-created Alpha characters around for them to use. Unfortunately, Most of them have been killed off (Wild Child, Diamond Lil, Nemesis, Bochs/Box, Smart Alec, the Master, etc...), while some are stuck in X-Men (like Madison).

There's always Pink Pearl?

Maybe they finally got around to digging up Radius

If---if---the maxi-series becomes an ongoing series, I hope that the editors and writers and artists will be willing to say whether:

(1) the Eugene Judd with short bones who was nearly disembowled by Marrina is the same Eugene Judd who is tall and has a sorcerer living inside of him;

(2) the Elizabeth Twoyoungmen/Talisman who was told by her father that the Coronet of Enchantment could never be removed is the same Elizabeth Twoyoungmen/Talisman who had the Coronet taken away and worn by her (aged) father;

(3) the Michael Twoyoungmen who successfully operated on Eugene Judd [see # 1] and helped Aurora with her cracked ribs is the same Michael Twoyoungmen who (while wearing the Coronet of Enchantment)
let Heather/Vindicator kill "Snowbird"

(4) the Aurora and Northstar who use logic and reasoning are the same Aurora and Northstar who couldn't figure out that any contact negates their powers made them a liability to the team, and in fact never mentioned it;

(5) the same team that confronted a demented Lionel Jeffries who had turned a hospital full of innocent patients, doctors, and nurses into monsters is the same team that would even consider for a second making the self-same Lionel Jeffries a member of the team (did I mention that Lionel supposedly "cured himself" and the only one to have witnessed this is his brother Madison Jeffries, whom Lionel had used his monster-making powers on)

It's probably obvious that I think it is a terrible idea to graft what could be a good run onto the "Mantlo Era" continuity.
