Alpha Flight Of Fancy: When Will Canada’s Great Creators Get A Crack At Canada’s Grea
Nice! I agree!
Support Artists, Not Companies! Creator-owned comics are where the real art is at!

Someone from here write that article? Weird that they used all those Ramón Pérez photos!
And I'd love to see Marcus To do the art - if and only if - New Warriors ever gets cancelled, which I pray never happens (though I am fearful).
Only one iffy part:
Alpha Flight first appeared in X-Men #120 in 1979, created by series artist John Byrne to provide a set of worthy opponents for the X-Men as they tussled over who got to keep Wolverine. (Winner gets massive franchise success for the next several decades.) The team of Guardian, Snowbird, Shaman, Sasquatch, Aurora, Northstar, Marrina, and Puck, was not meant to stick around — but in 1983 Marvel editor Jim Shooter convinced Byrne to launch an ongoing series.
It makes it sound like Marrina and Puck were in the fight with the X-Men in 120 & 121.
Brought up a good point, which Alpha Flight would be used in the a new series, since the death of AF happened in New Avengers #16 (I had to go back and check this out for myself, since I quit reading NA for a bit). My only change would have Aurora and Northstar be based on First Nation twin sisters.

Chip Zdarsky is now on my list of people who don't want to be on a list.
I would post more but Phil would just delete what I would say.
Without saying too much, why is he not on your list that is a list that isn't a list?Originally Posted by rplass
Let's refer to it as the "not rplass' favorite person" list.
Really it's the "CENSORED" list.
He did come off as quite the d-bag.
Geez guys...
The man made a joke about something he's passionate about; it's what he does for a living.
I get it. But when you read text without tone...
Actually, given all this I wouldn't be surprised if Zdarsky's story in Original Sins #5 includes Alpha Flight.
If this is a thing, let us know, I'll actually read it.
It's pure speculation on my part so chances are I'm completely wrong.
It's due out in August, the solicit is:
ORIGINAL SINS #5 (OF 5)
AL EWING, RYAN NORTH & CHIP ZDARSKY (W)
RAMON VILLALOBOS, CHIP ZDARSKY & MORE (A)
Cover by Mark Brooks

• The prime mover behind the Watcher’s murder confesses his own Original Sin!
• Plus, Everybody’s Got One! Find out the Original Sins and hidden secrets of dozens of other Marvel heroes and villains!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99
So we might get a one page story, like the Jeffries appearance in AvX: VS #6.
Well, if it happens, I'll pick it up after the fact, but I'm not going to get it the second it comes out.
Marvel barely gives you time to recover from one event before they're tossing another at ya.
It gets exhausting.
Well I'll let people know if it happens
