Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Le Messor]

And am I missing something? Because it keeps being mentioned how Heather went from Mac's secretary, to lover, to wife.
That is not how I recall it. There was no time for "lover" to be a separate mention.

No, you're not missing anything. You're not out of order. The Bill Mantlo's out of order! The whole frickin' system is out of order! Marvel is out of order! Justice is out of order! The vending machine next to the men's room, that sells candies and coke is out of order!

Didn't they get married, like, the next day?

It wasn't quite that quick.
Volume 2 even has a -1 issue that deals with their marriage, but...

I feel like somebody stole my characters and replaced them with strangers.

Welcome to my nightmare.
That's pretty much how I feel about not only Mantlo's run, but v2 as well. In fact, all the post-1 volumes (some of them just had more enjoyable strangers than others).

v1 does get better, though (imho). Just, not in a hurry. And it'll never be as good as it was under Byrne.
