new maxi series................alpha flight!!!!

[DIGGER]

[QUOTE=Le Messor;77318]Sorry, I was looking at the other picture, not the Chaos Wars cover. Those lines are pretty obvious, and I'd be pretty dumb to miss them. I blame the fact I'm keeping my eyes crossed for this new series.

That's better than saying you were looking at his other cheeks.

Bendis strikes again on his Twitter account...

sorry to announce the new alpha flight already died off panel in new avengers. it happened in between the gamefly and and the back cover

Seriously, he said it.

Like some others, I didn't visit for a while and came back to this. This is awesome!
I guess I will be the one to bring up the elephant in the room though. They are finally testing the theory that has been bandied around so much - that the fans want the original Alpha Flight, not imposters, and that is what will sell. I certainly hope so. If this doesn't sell, I doubt Marvel will bother with Alpha Flight again for a LONG time, if ever.
Souds exciting though - looking forward to it! May can't come soon enough...

It only took them three relaunches in twenty years.

So do your part and buy more than 1 copy! Buy at least 2! And if you have a friend, get it for them too!

[MistressMerr]

Remember, if you're buying multiple copies, be sure to tell your comic shop beforehand so they order more. Those are the numbers that count!

I think I actually teared up a little there. I love Aurora's yellow costume and hair, so I wouldn't really mind if she went back to it. Marrina is looking very bestial, so I'm willing to bet that they will be exploring her rage, a hint of which was shown in the Chaos War oneshot.

So excited!!!

They said in the interview that one or two of the team may be on the fascists' side. Who, now, could be the ones they want to be the 'spies'? After all, the new god of Chaos/Fear isn't playing favorites.

[Le Messor]

I wouldn't be surprised if those quibbles were caused by CBR paraphrasing Pak's actual answers.

Those are all very good points! You're probably right.

As for the lack of war paint; that's easily explained. War paint is for war. Chaos War. Now it's just an Alpha Flight series; no more war.

Not sure it needs explaining... As others have said, it's a cover-only thing (I only questioned it because I'd looked at a different cover, and was asking what paint we were talking about).

I think it will focus on the original team. But I can almost be assured that Talisman will at least APPEAR

Some part of me keeps expecting stuff like this because I keep forgetting it's limited.
Has unbridled optimism overtakien memory?

Nobody has commented on Puck yet.

Well, he's lord of Hell now, which makes him the devil. The devil is red. Therefore, he's a red dwarf.
That means he's in stasis for 3,000,000 years and will wake up as the last human surrounded by a hologram and a cat.

Too soon, man, too soon! Not. Funny.

Ha, I totally buggered out of here for a while because the ridiculous negativity was driving me crazy...

I'm truly sorry to hear that, especially since I'm one of the worst offenders.
Din't mean to drive other fans away.

That said, I stand by what I said before: "Hello."

Too soon, man, too soon! Not. Funny.

Even if it wasn't too soon, I still have two points to make about this;

1) Not ever, not if your name is Bendis.

2) FVL needs to tell him to shut his trap. How dare he ridicule the book that FVL is writing, before it even hits the stands? If you can't say something positive (and when it comes to Alpha, Bendis has proven that he cannot), then say nothing. And because this particular negative vibe is coming from Bendis, see #1 again.

[Le Messor]

1) Not ever, not if your name is Bendis.

By 'too soon', I meant 'while I still draw breath'... and given the evidence that I'm immortal...

[cmdrkoenig67]

Bendis doesn't like Alpha Flight, so I'd expect this sort of snark from him. If he gets the chance, he'll probably kill them off again.

Thanks to whoever deleted my other post on Bendis.

Flightpath07, you make a good point- who the hell cracks on another writer's book like that? Low class.

Bendis really came out on the wrong side here: no one is gushing over how amazing and exciting it was that he killed AF in New Avengers #16. No one praised him for a clever and well-written sequence of panels with thoughtful and realistic dialogue. No one looks back and cherishes that issue as a favorite moment in comic fandom.

Meanwile, everyone since the Jiminez variant cover, and especially for McCANn's Chaos War:Alpha Flight one shot, and now the new maxi series, everone has praise and good things to say about FVL, Pak and Eaglesham. The buzz and excitement is so positive and the future looks bright for the 1st issue.

He really needs to apologize to the creative team of the new book, the fans need to marginalize him for this abominable behaviorand his legacy as a "writer" speaks for itself - disdain and deserved acrimony follows one guy while cheers, smiley faces and hope follow others.

Well, I do believe in turning the other cheek!

Flightpath07, you make a good point- who the hell cracks on another writer's book like that? Low class.

Not to mention that us fans are still reeling from his actions.

disdain and deserved acrimony follows one guy while cheers, smiley faces and hope follow others.

And something I'll just call 'the thing' follows me... but that's another story.
