Crackity Jones' Discovery Of Alpha Flight

[Chris]

I am too discussing Alpha Flight! There was just a side bar, about how Bill could write well (ROM and MICRONAUTS), but even by the end, that got weird - then he said he was a ROM fan, which made me say he (and YOU! AND EVERYONE!) should check out ANNIHILATORS!

I have both of those Annihilators mini series. Abnett and Lanning wrote a good Spaceknights / Dire Wraiths story in the first mini. And don't forget the 2nd half of those issues contained stories of Rocket Raccoon (created by Bill Mantlo) and Groot! So we are still talking about Mantlo. Wahooo!

The Walter/Wanda thing, would have been funny for an issue or two... Sadly...

This brings me back to those two infamous words, "editorial interference" ...

But enough about that! After all, this thread is all about the Crackity One!

There was just a side bar

Oh, ok. So, a guy swims up to a side bar and orders a salad, and the judge looks at him funny and says, "Counselor, do you even know where you are?"

I agree. But didn't the interview say to change Walter back to Walter ASAP?

The Counselor's answer in that joke is SO disgusting... I am sure everyone's heard it before though.
There is no joke. I am mostly running with it and messing with people!

And, is it me, or is it just outright GROSS that Mantlo is seemingly pairing up Knapp and Purple Girl?
It was CLEARLY stated that she is only 13 years old, and I would assume that Knapp is considerably older since he was an intern for a "doctor".
WHY were these things allowed to happen????

Back to Alpha Flight. After reading the Kitty Pryde and Colossus romance in Uncanny X-Men, I guess I got desensitized. I found Kara and Manikin's romance only somewhat creepy. If I was Whitman Knapp, I would have been chasing after other interns, or nurses, or even doctors.

[Crackity Jones]

You guys can talk about whatever you'd like. As long as we can talk Alpha Flight occasionally.

And, Chris: One of my other fave characters, Nightcrawler, is back to dating his sister again. And I still think it's gross. Even if they are not blood-related.
I might be too uptight at times for comics? I don't know.

You like Rat Queens, so you can't be all THAT uptight!

[Le Messor]

It'd certainly make things easier. Hades, not even the Skrulls thought to impersonate Alpha Flight, because they're so uninfluental, apparently...

Well, as I've said on another thread, the Skrulls DID impersonate Alpha Flight.

I am not sure if you're reading the new NOVA series (with Sam Alexander)

Yep! And enjoying it thoroughly...
But that's another story and shall be told at another time.

Why are you discussing these things that are not Alpha Flight, Tawmis? :P

since he has a female form, he's also decided that he likes boys and was flirting with Gary Cody.

I honestly don't remember that.

Me, too? Maybe?
Actually, I'd thought of Kara as at LEAST 16, and hadn't done the maths on Mannikin being an intern; so I never had the squick factor everybody else did.

#51. I will scan.

HA!
Rat Queens is awesome, though, and doesn't have team members mind raping/controlling each other. It doesn't have 13 year olds on its team who are dating grown men.

[Tawmis]

Why are we talking about something other than Alpha Flight, Crackity?

(Sorry, you do realize I had to say that, right?)

i do what i want.

Has anyone read the AF Flashback issue or the What If?! I recently purchased those with other back issues

What are these????
I do not have.

[Phil]

I'm presuming you mean:

and

If so; yup yup, I'd guess that most of us here have.

Crackity definitely shouldn't have yet though.
Although I suppose the Flashback takes place before Volume 1 and the What If doesn't really matter so it wouldn't harm her to have done so yet.
They're both definitely not Byrne-esque in tone though.
The Flashback is a Volume 2 pre-cursor and the What If is very late 90's.

[Crackity Jones]

GUYS.
What is this???
