    Default Article: Alpha Flight Fear Itself Promo & Concept Artwork

    They could add to the uniqueness of Alpha Flight (later he does the old 'they're just Canadian Avengers' thing) with: a loosely-assembled non-team team book...

    The artwork looks nice, but is Mac wearing his costume backwards in that first shot?

    ... and they got it right on the cover...
    I'd suspect they'd flipped the scan, but there's writing on it.
    Weird.

    Maybe it's a plot point, or just a way to distinguish Mac & Heather's uniforms.

    Maybe it's designed that when Mac and Heather stand together they form the Canadian flag?

    But if Northstar and Aurora stand together, they negate each other's powers!

    I dont think they negate each other anymore. I could be wrong but they could touch when Talisman recruited the, against Llan the Sorcerer

    It's a subtle visual clue! He's a literal turn-coat!

    But... he's still dressed forwards on the cover...

    Has FVL mention he isnt touching anything from vol2? Maybe it is one of Clarke's copies when Wolverine gutted Mac? Mac being the traitor would be hard on me cuz of all his deaths and now to betray the team. Say it aint so
