    Dale's Variants get better & better!

    I'm loving that Alpha Strike team.
    And I called at least part of it.

    I wonder who the unusual allies are?!

    If you like this variant, you'll like the "real" version a whole lot more. The traitor is blocked out here, but with the full head on there, the cover is STUNNING. If I may say so very objectively.
    I never said I was objective.

    Well, I guess AF.net will have to try and get the first publication of that full cover after #1 has been out for a bit

    (spoiler-y speculation to be revealed when you highlight...)

    Wait, if her head is the one in the foreground, that means there is another long haired female on the team that hasn't been revealed, one with long hair. Correlating this with a certain Guardian and Snowbird smackup scene in one of the interviews, then I'm betting that Aurora will be in Alpha Strike as well!

    Now Showing "Return from LurkWorld 3:Can I Have A Life Please?"

    My first thought was that it was:














    Talisman, but you could well be right with that.

    Ahhhh my eyes! I got spoiled!!!!!!! What's the point of making the traitor into a silhouette on the cover if you're going to name the traitor in the solicit? Stupid solicit editor person.

    Thing is, are Alpha Strike on the government side. If so then that's a big change of mind by Purple Woman and Citadel. Talisman never struck me as a government type. (Where is she in that pic?) We know the person in silhoette and I assume that's Wendigo or Yeti. Any hint as to who the purple controlled fella is? It would seem obvious who it is, but obvious hasn't always been the case with comics.

    Oooooh is the fella Ravager?
    That would be the 2-in-1 connection!

    And as to Talisman, I meant I was part right in that Purple Woman was on the team.

    sucks they ruin it before it comes out, although i couldn't wait. btw, how is anyone going to control a wendigo?

    FINALLY, a second volume of AF Classic. That has got to be one of the most homaged covers at Marvel (right up there with Byrne's Days of Future Past cover).

    Unfortunately, spoiler solits aren't all that uncommon, but it still stinks when they blow reveals like this. But kudos to Pak and Van Lente for playing it straight with the traitor business.

    Thanks for spoiling the ending of issue #1 Marvel! What dumb a$$e$!

    Maybe if they could meet their original solicitation ship dates (Alpha Flight #1 June 8, 2011), they wouldn't have ruined it for all of us!

    I was just reading through Marvel's solicitations for September 2011, clicked on the awesome covers for Alpha Flight #4 then unfortunately read the text!
