Seems possible. There is a Canadian MapleLeaf on at least two poeple. Guesses? Sasquatch, Talisman, Windshear and Man-bot? Or is that Box?

There's a tail so that implies Wendigo which makes me think alternate reality, but who knows...

Plus, as Bleeding Cool points out:

And check the New Avengers solicitation for January;

To prevent the collision of our universe with another, the Illuminati, led by the Black Panther, must assemble NOW! It’s the most powerful and brilliant team in the Marvel Universe–The Black Panther, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Black Bolt, Mister Fantastic, Namor the Sub-Mariner and The Beast–against an infinite legion of parallel realities.

Which is for January's New Avengers rather than the title the other images are from, but it could all be relative...

Oh, yeah, looks alternate all the way. But definitely an alternate Alpha team...
Everything looks like an Alphan, but just a little off... not quite Guardian's (?) costume... Not quite Box... Not quite Sasquatch... Is that Diamond Lil? Heather? (Her hair's looking pretty dark, though.) Aurora?
But not in a 'the artist couldn't be bothered doing research' way.
Probably a harder, darker reality (note the guns).

I'm loving the artwork, btw. This sort of European feel; like maybe Moebius would've drawn or something.

Looks interesting. Wondering who is in the "Guardian"-type suit! With a gun on her hip, I'm thinking she has no powers? Sas (or Wendigo) looks VERY powerful, with an almost Hulk-like jaw. I'd say that's definitely Madison Jeffries, with a new type of Box armour behind him.

Yeah alternate reality, but Alpha appearing in a big book such as the Avengers? Sweeeeeet. Hopefully they are done with justice.

Avengers #10? Avengers #1 isn't even out yet haha. Their doing two issues a month, but still.

Same link I posted in the post you quoted? :-/

haha I actually didn't mean to reply, not sure what happened there.

I agree... even if its alternate reality, the more books we can get these characters into the better the chances of another Alpha title.
Also, really like the artwork... it has a fresh, realistic look to it.

Same artist that drew the second half of The Collective (Death of Alpha Flight) arc, but these look like full pencils to be coloured straight from, rather than inked.
Very nice stuff.

The gal could be Murmur...regardless, I`m looking forward to purchasing this one. I like my Ultimate and Alternate Alpha Flights almost as much as the real one!

Hopefully they are done with justice.

What's he got to do with it? Shouldn't he be trying to rescue his students from the Arena?

There is always a time machine. Hot tub optional.
