    Isn't that we most of us want out of Alpha Flight (and remember Byrne as writing this book like)? Alpha Flight, the team that is more like a family, with family interaction between the members?


    As far as Cloak and Dagger go, they went from a 2010 one-shot and being part of Osborne's Dark Avengers, now crashing their way into a Spider-Man event, then into their own series. See, there is hope for Alpha Flight! (if only they could be situated in New York or San Francisco and interact daily with Spider-Man, FF, and/or the X-Somethings, we'd be guaranteed a hit! lol)

    I wouldn't want to be that patient. My understanding is, to go into astral form (magic or telepathic), you pretty much need to leave your body on auto, and that's not something you want while preforming major surgery. Purjory, maybe.

    Yeah, I've always wondered about that. Maybe it was something about the specific fights? Because her 'must-not-bleed' line came in #12, and her actually bleeding came in #6.

    I dunno... I generally don't read re-launched titles, even if I've collected the original series; I find that I love to read the original serieses like the ones above (and Power Pack), but when Marvel (or DC) tries to release a new series of them, they do it in a modern style. The modern style completely fails to capture the magic for me, and I end up with just another modern series; the kind that's driving me to the serieses of the 80s.

    There's one obvious exception, of course.

    Whole-loaf bread (or, as it was called back in the day, "bread").

    I don't know if Alpha Flight takes out Attuma or not in this issue. He looks outmatched based on the 8pp preview. Anyway he shows up in Fear Itself: The Home Front #3, which is also solicited for Jun 15 release, same week as Alpha Flight #1, so it's possible that book is a tie-in or sequel, just guessing.

    Good to see Shaman's surname spelt correctly in the intro page!

    I wonder if that's why the issue was delayed by a week....
