Couldn't really do this in Polls, so thought I'd ask, what is your favourite Alpha, Alpha appearence cover and comment if you feel the need to say why? Probably done this, somewhere at some time, but eh, what the heck?

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
? probably?
So iconic. But not ironic.
But kinda laconic.

Giles: I suppose there is a sort of Machiavellian ingenuity to your transgression.
Xander: I resent that... or, possibly, thank you.

Still my fave cover of the entire run(s)
I really like issue #3 (that Mik posted above) and #12 of volume 1 (that you have as your av, Del), both are really striking images...But I think my favourite is issue #1 of volume 1.
Although...I have to say, this one is genius...

Good call, FP!
I never liked Wolverine so I always loved when Mac would clobber him on a cover. Add the casualness of taking out Colossus. This cover may not be as iconic but I always thought it was petty bad ass.
Out of all the good covers that have been on AF comics, this one is probably my fave.

The thing I've always liked about that cover is that it's the semi-mirror image of #11.Out of all the good covers that have been on AF comics, this one is probably my fave.
I'd like to think Byrne had it planned since he drew #11.
It would be nice to think that, it would be interesting to find out. One of the main reasons it stands out for me is it reminds me of UXM #138, which is probably the first X-Men comic I read and which convinced me to go and back and read any issue my brother in law had.The thing I've always liked about that cover is that it's the semi-mirror image of #11.

Totally purloined from Mile High Comics, I hope they don't mind

To me, this leads into what Alpha was all about, the unsure family without the leader until Heather took over. Who kills a series leader? I cant recall it ever happening in comics before this. The format was so popular with the target headshots, I think its been used like four times in Alpha history through different series
2.
I just like the perspective in the cover. Alpha was booming when it originally happened. Wolverine always returning to help out Alpha before Wolverine was in every series
3.
Northstar and Aurora were going through issues and doubts and Loki feeds us the Asgard fairy tale and even though we thought it was a horrible idea, it still placed a big time villain against Alpha. Walter had just come back from the dead as Snowbird and Puck leaps into the Fire Fountain and at the end of the issue, no one from the Byrne era original team was left (Walter was Wanda so Im counting Wanda as a member)
Marvel Age #2 for me.
