    Welcome to the new AlphaFlight.net.

    Over the years this website has taken many forms, and undergone significant evolution. It all started out as a teen-aged boy making a his first website about his favorite comic book character: Sasquatch. Then more characters got featured as it evoled into "The Alpha Flight Character Database". Later Alpha Zone was born, bringing in more diverse information, until it morphed in AlphaFlight.net.

    There's a little two-page preview of the X-Club's upcoming mini and a short interview with the writer, Simon Spurrier, at Marvel.com I was already looking forward to this a lot, but this just has me even more excited, I can't wait to see his take on the characters after reading this. Here's the part that pertains to MadJeff: "Madison Jeffries couldn't be more different. He's been through a lot of nasty stuff too, but it's left him kind of fuzzy, kind of dissociated from reality a couple of notches. Which isn't to say he doesn't engage with the events around him, just that you sort of get the impression he's just going with the flow, letting his mind wander at every opportunity. He's so immersed in the world his particular mutant power creates-this universe of intuitive ...

    There's something been bugging me lately about modern comics, and I think I've finally worked out what it is. It came up partly because of the upcoming The Last Airbender movie, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I've enjoyed most of his movies, but the tone and pacing are polar opposites to the cartoon. Then somebody asked me to lend him recent DC or Marvel comics so he could get into them. The most recent thing I could lend him that was good enough was Young Avengers (he'd already read Runaways). I think we've all noticed that comics follow the vagaries of fashion, same as anything else. The current fashion is ultra-realism; in comic book movies, I think the peak is The Dark Knight. The thing these trends do is abuse the trope. It could be good once, on one thing, but they shove it on everything, until you're sick of it. Even though the realism one is doing the same, I'm still behind it. ...

    There has been plenty of talk on this site lately (actually, for the last few years) that revolves around various discussions about what reason can we come up with for having an Alpha Flight team again, a reason that would be good enough to (a) cause Marvel to believe it would sell as a series, and (b) make sense in that Marvel seems to feel that previous AFs have lost readers due to something new being needed. Many people here have suggested ideas. Some new ideas, some not-so-new. Many of us believed that John Byrne had it right, or did it best, when it comes to AF. So, many times suggestions came up in regards to how JB wrote AF in the beginning, how they were a team made up of individuals who did not always get along, and showing that individual stories could be told in a team book. ...

    We all know that Alpha Flight has been given a bad rap the last several years. Regardless of whether you believe that Marvel is intentionally trying to wipe them all out, it cannot be denied that Canada's most notable super-humans have had it rough. They are treated as a joke, even by former members of the team (Ex, Northstar: "That's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard, and I was with Alpha Flight"). Whether it's having the entire active roster wiped out by the Collective, being stamped out during Necrosha, the falling apart of Omega Flight shortly after its formation (In Mighty Avengers. I mean, how many people are even on that team now that Pointer and Walker are gone? Three, four if you count Agent Brown?), or just fading into the realm of neglect and obscurity. ...

    I'm thinking maybe they put the wrong image for the Vancouver mutant and it's supposed to be the "blue" girl. As this pic is definetly a man

    Weird non-news might be news?

    Don't you guys know? Most of us are feral up here, even those who aren't mutants. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go file my teeth before I go out to kill something for dinner. Go to last post

    Just curious?

    Didn't buy the hardcover, was it a new listing or just a rehash from before?

    Great Beasts in Thor?

    Marvel must think there is something strange in the water up here.
