    Admittedly, I don't understand the business reasons for publishing/continuing-to-publish a comic. I just know that comics that consistently tell interesting stories that have a pretty plausible beginning-middle-and-end usually do well. Whether this is what determines if a book sells well these days, I don't know.

    All I do know is we've had Pseudo-Flight (volumes 2 & 3), Omega Flight (truncated before it could go where it is was going), and volume 4 (Heather-goes-beserk; Parliament Hill goes bye-bye).

    Somebody has got to have a storyline that is at least as interesting.

    Once upon a time, they exploded from the pages of The X-Men. For a moment, they were "Canada's answer to The Avengers."

    They were ALPHA FLIGHT....

    ...once upon a time.

    With regards to Avengers Academy:-
    X-23 will be in a Marvel NOW! book, which will probably be revealed in that next two to three week time period.
    The future of the "Avengers Academy" characters will be announced in - you guessed it - the next one to two weeks.

    We challenged creators to use the post-"Avengers Vs. X-Men" landscape to shake up and reinvigorate titles like "X-Men: Legacy," "Deadpool," "Avengers Academy" and "Thunderbolts."

    There are also hints that there may be some sort of West Coast Avengers-type title.

    Btw, I categorically deny and strongly disagree with the fact that Avengers Academy needed a shake-up. It was one of the few Marvel titles that pushed the envelope, and worked on both social issues and good character development.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    - In "All-New X-Men", the original five X-Men are around for the foreseeable future. When a fan said they have to go back, Brevoort countered, “Do they?”
    Dear Mr. Brevoort. Silly Mr. Brevoort. See AF Volume 3. If you peoples at Marvel change your minds, AGAIN, I'll be most unhappy, as i was one of those who wanted the past-Alphans to stick around.

    - The future of the "Avengers Academy" characters will be announced in - you guessed it - the next one to two weeks.
    That doesn't say there will be a new Avengers Academy book. I'd bet there won't be. Probably those characters will be spread around various Marvel books.
