If this book existed, this would be my pick by J. Bone.
But it doesn't so here is my official pick.
I believe Dave Ross did the cover as well as the interior. He was a solid artist and I wish he was on the book longer. I love how he sneaks the entire team onto a head shot cover using Heather's visor.
Runner-up. Looking at this cover you just knew it was going to be an awesome issue. Vindicator & Wolverine vs Samurai horde. YES, PLEASE!

The world is NOT getting more Alpha Flight! Tweet me you twits! @DaVeO52
Too many to choose from... guess I'd have to go with issue 1, vol 1. As a kid in small town Canada seeing CANADIAN SUPERHEROES in their own comic, giddy didn't even come close to describing the feel. This was the first comic book that I bought two copies of for myself and 1 for my cousin.

(the cover for the Alberta Report was great too)
I'm going with the Finch variant on X-Infernus #3:
Just love that cover. Awesome.

Good pick! I usually leap straight to the Byrne stuff, but that is a good one.Originally Posted by DaVeO
Also, the first appearance of Lady Deathstryke. As Lady Deathstryke, that is.
Just because people keep picking it, and it isn't yet shown on this thread:

If we're talking non-Byrne covers, I do quite like
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.

Ooofff!
That one took my breath away. Nice...

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.

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!
Alpha Flight v1 #1... and also the one where Omega Flight is holding all the beat up members of Alpha Flight... and of course Alpha Flight #12 (v1)... because of the variations that followed.
I think they do... they're not letting us see it!Totally purloined from Mile High Comics, I hope they don't mind

My favourite cover for a long time was this one

Mac's real return and a cover by Jim Lee!
However, now I am loving the cover to Alpha Flight #1 of the new series starting in June!
I got a copy of the free flyer with X-Men: Schism on the other side. I intend to get it framed and put it in my office.

I've got a couple new favourite covers:
