    JP gets his own hardcover? Cool. It's, like, the second AF hardcover ever (the first being the Marvel Premiere X-Men: Alpha Flight; yes, they've been in others, but not had others dedicated to them).

    Great news! Maybe they'll mirror the cover art image before going to press? It would be a shame to have the dust jacket all backwardsy with him wearing Aurora's costume. Eaglemoss corrected Salva Espin's backwards costume error when they printed the booklet for the figurines by printing mirror images of the original art; so I'm hoping Marvel can do the same for this booboo.

    Wait, then Karmas OTHER leg would be all cyborgy. Oh well, I guess not!

    Even though there's no AF title anymore, it's great to see some of the Alphans still getting exposure.
    Maybe it'll drum up enough interest to... no, I can't go getting my hopes up again.

    It's not definitely the cover, I just added the most likely image until it's actually solicited.

    I liked the story personally.
    Fun and fleshed the character out a bit.

    It was cute, but he was acting like a giddy teenage girl stereotype throughout.
    I like how in Astonishing, he acts differently with Kyle than with others - which kind of reconciles with that.
