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.

Runner up:
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.

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.
www.kozzi.us
recent publications in M-Brane Science Fiction and the anthology Things We Are Not.
Forthcoming stories in Breath and Shadow, Star Dreck anthology and The Aether Age: Helios.
~I woke up one morning finally seeing the world through a rose colored lense. It turned out to be a blood hemorrhage in my good eye.
I'd have to say MA #2 or AF (1) #1.
Other than that AF (1) #10 for the raging Sasquatch.
, huh, Phil?
That's what my sig is based on.
Okay, I didn't get the expression right... gimme a break...

Dead Nerd: I think I'd like Dawn to be my girlfriend.
Buffy: Wrong sister. I'm the one that dates dead guys.
Raging? Really? Looks constipated to me...Other than that AF (1) #10 for the raging Sasquatch.
