Man Vancouver got a double trashing in one day. First by Nanook or what ever his name was, and then by last night Cup riots after loosing to Boston.
People need to understand that Northstar hates being a government pawn, because he hates over-powerful authority or being told what to do. He DOESN'T Hate being on the team because he'd rather "Be gay". I think that is what some reviewers are misunderstanding. He IS a Super Hero who just happens to be homosexual. That plays nothing into his apprehension. I though the writers made that clear with the fact the Kyle has pushed him to save the day in both issues. (Another reason I like Kyle, he asks more of Northstar than Northstar asks of himself)
Picked this up today. Loved it. Big reveal at the end would not have been that much of a shock (read the Marvel spoiler ) if I had looked at the sketches Dale Eaglesham had done for #2 properly. Nothing concrete, but enough to suggest.

Driftwood: Well, I got about a foot and a half. Now, it says, uh, "The party of the second part shall be known in this contract as the party of the second part."
Fiorello: Well, I don't know about that...
Driftwood: Now what's the matter?
Fiorello: I no like-a the second party, either.
Driftwood: Well, you should've come to the first party. We didn't get home 'til around four in the morning... I was blind for three days!
Awesome issue!
This is the Alpha Flight I have been waiting decades for!
Guardian acting like a hero.
Sasquatch and Aurora flirting.
Snowbird with a personality!
And Marrina...LOVE her new personality!!!
I think Heather made a deal with Code in tring to get her kid back. I have one question: is this an on going series or a limited one? I was under the impression that it was on going.
It's an eight part maxi series which may stretch into something else depending on how well it does.

Loved this book! Looks like it's going to be a really fun 8 issues!
Only complaint:
The inevitable, misplaced "EH?". Took me right out of the story.
I read through so fast due to excitement....did they spell Canada with an extra one?
Loved the presentation. Felt like a kid again reading my favorite comic. Kudos to all!=D>=D>=D>=D> (I'd write it in en francais but grade 12 french was a long time ago!)
Gonna go read it again now.
"Le Createur de 'oles"
What was the second dinosaur Snowbird transformed into?
She wasn't married in her 1st appearance and Hunter is her unmarried name. Coincidentally, her 1st appearance was in Uncanny X-Men #139, which is a major Alpha Flight issue.
