    Default Shocking Alpha News out this week

    As many of you know, man-of-the-month, Dale Eaglesham, has been hinting on Facebook and Twitter that there will be SHOCKING Alpha Flight news this week. Ground-breakingly Shocking!!

    Short of Rocksie joining the team (we can all but hope), I warrant that the news is the announcement that our maxi-series has been promoted to an ongoing series.

    At least we can all live in hope!

    Here's keeping fingers and toes crossed!

    What do you think this news will be?

    I'm not sure, on his forum Wolfie mentioned something about a page with two small panels and one very big panel. Mark Pannicia said of the preview art something along the lines of 'How Heather get's the baby will give you nightmates'. It's not much of a niughtmare to think of her as a traitor (all be it for whatever reason), so it's got to be major. Does she kill/maim a family or team member? Does she sleep with Cody etc etc?

    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!

    ...Or does Heather kill her cousin and his wife when they try to prevent her from taking her child? I really hope the writers didn't go that route.

    It's probably this:

    I've not looked at the image yet, so I can't comment on that, but:

    I'd like a triple-scoop for payback, thanks. English toffee, strawberry, and hmm... mango.

    Maybe the big shocking news is that Guardian had powers that none of us knew he ever had. Like, say, he could alter reality with his suit. And therefore, he never really died, and Heather never put on the suit, and they do not really have a daughter at all. And Magneto is their real dad.

    Maybe.

    So, how do you fix a hero after that? I trust Freg has a long term plan, because I can't see how Heather's is going to come to terms with her actions within this maxiseries. Maybe this is a hint at an ongoing in which this will be dealt with over the long run? More importantly though, how are fans going to handle this heel turn? Do you think it will affect sales?

    I can't see her going back to being a hero after this. Even if it is to "Vindicate" herself. She'll either snap out of it and give up the hero life, stay a villain and be on the loose/behind bars or killed off (Although I think only in an Alpha Flight book could a main character going to jail be a bigger shock then their actual death!). BTW does Speedball still have that slightly used Penance suit available?

    OK, I think I need to get this, and it sure as hell better go ongoing if they want my money back in their pockets.

    To hear of a book in which the original Alpha team are being done some justice gives me some shred of hope that someday some writer might care enough to bring back Wildchild, Diamond Lil, and Madison Jeffries and do them some long overdue justice. And yeah, I know Wildchild is the only one who's 'dead', but Lil and Madison may as well be what with the number Tieri's **** writing did on them. Seriously, it was like that guy was out to destroy almost every character I like! Thank the gods he at least didn't get his hands on Wolfsbane or Nightcrawler. Not that the latter isn't killed off now, too, from what I've read.

    It's hard for me to buy anything Marvel after the **** that's gone down in the Marvel 'verse.

    They could start atoning by killing off Daken or whatever his name is, and retconing the entire Lipine concept back out of existance. Loeb is right up there with Tieri on my **** list. I guess at Least Loeb let Kyle beat the **** out of the legendary uber-powerful re-re-re-re upgraded Wolverine before killing him off in the dumbest way possible.

    Ok... I'm getting way off into rant territory so I'll stop there.

    Totally crossing my fingers for the new Alpha series to go ongoing... (you know, and not get jacked up by a creative team change the moment it does so.)
