ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
I'm probably going to be censured for this, but:
Believe it or not, I've been trying to be supportive. I've been biting my tongue about quite a few things I've disliked, (so imagine what I'd be like if I wasn't!) but:
Nothing about any of that appeals to me. This is the opposite of why I love Alpha.
I want my superheroes to be both - and this is undermining any sense of heroism.
You keep on using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Please, Fred Van Lente, if you're reading - don't turn this into a 90s anti-'hero' comic.
There's a reason 90's comics aren't well-regarded these days.

I'd love to see even Whitman Knapp (perhaps depowered), working as a Doctor be a supporting character, maybe Heather's parents, and her hundreds of siblings (she probably has a ton of nieces and nephews now too)?...Alpha needs a bigger supporting cast, regardless (just having Kyle around doesn't cut it).
We've never seen Walt's son (who Byrne mentioned, and he is probably a teenager now), I'd also like to see Marrina's "family", the Smallwoods again. I'm hoping Freg will have Talisman as a cast member too at some point (she's a Byrne character too, Fred and Greg)...Elizabeth is such a great character (IMHO).

EDITED to add a bit more.

As i have said elsewhere...I don't see Heather being counted as a 'good guy' anytime in the near future. Nor, it seems, do Fred and Greg.an escalation of the rift between Guardian and Vindicator
Looks like the 'outlaw status' and the 'evil Canadian government' storylines are going to last far beyond eight issues!
Cool...

Yeah, it'll be great if, now they have the time of an ongoing to do it in, they spend time on the Alphans' civilian lives. More than just JP, I mean.
Yeah, we should never forget the Queen! Bohemian Rhapsody, Another One Bites The Dust, WE WILL ROCK YOU! / We Are The Champions...
Lest we forget.

I think some things do need to be added to sustain the series. Talisman is a must eventually. I've thought the same about Whitman being added at some point as maybe a support member. They could have even brought a throw-away like Ouija in and put him on Heather's team. Now that they've been extended for probably another 12 issues, it will give the creative team some more leeway with subplots.
i think i'm having a heart attack. this is the happiest of news. now i need to get a subscription. way to go marvel!!!!!!!!
Pak & FVL @ Newsarama
Just got back from Fan Expo, where I had the chance to meet FVL, Dale Eaglesham and his beautiful wife Louise (whom I might have a little crush on right now!). They were so kind, even though it was Sunday afternoon after what must have been a long weekend for them! Check out my profile picture, which is the pic we all took together!
Sweet, Sypes!

Congrats everyone on having your wishes come true, WOOT!
Aw, great meeting you too, Sypes, and you're quite the cutie yourself!
Yes, we were completely drained by the time you came by, but it's always so nice to meet people we've interacted with online that it gives us renewed energy.
And now I might have to crawl back into bed. SO exhausted!!
I never said I was objective.
Yes, although the younger generation of Canadians seem to have little use or respect for Britain or the Queen or the monarchy in general, which I think is a real shame. Part of the Canadian heritage, it is, and should be treasured (Turkish Delight for everyone!).does England still play some role in Canada?
