This isn't Alpha Flight y'know.
Sure they may CALL themselves Alpha Flight, and they may even be led by Sasquatch, but they're not Alpha Flight.
Which y'know, is like totally lame.
For real.


Alpha Flight will always be the original members, Vindicator, Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora, Shaman and Snowbird.
Except y'know, for when Vindicator was called Weapon Alpha.
And at some point Heather became Vindicator because Vindicator had become Guardian.
And died.
And come back.
And died.


But Heather hasn't even been introduced yet, so hey she's nothing to do with Alpha Flight.
Yet in that ret-con limited series and all the flashbacks and back-up storys it turned out it was Heather that was the inspiration for the formation of Alpha Flight.
Except y'know that we didn't know this at the time because not even Alpha Flight's creators knew it then.
But y'know, she wasn't there in that original issue so she's not Alpha Flight.
Yeah, she's not Alpha Flight.
And don't even get me started on that little midget.
I mean c'mon... Alpha Flight finally get the respect they deserve from their 2 appearances so far and get their own title and what the hell..??? A fish girl and a midget turn up and try to muscle in on the action...
Thinking they're Alpha Flight... when we all know they're not.
I've read Uncanny X-Men #120 so I've got physical proof!
I mean, a fish girl and a midget?
That's just stupid... whoever thought of that is obviously just trying to turn Alpha Flight into a joke.

And it was that damned Heather that brought them in... trying to start up her own team I'll bet... just jealous cos she weren't there in the beginning.
Probably by some hack of a writer who's just come onboard and has no passion for the characters or respect for the name of Alpha Flight.
I mean Vindicator, Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora, Shaman and Snowbird - now that there is enough characters to write about forever.... and every appearance they could show up and fight with the X-Men and then make friends and go for a beer! A brewski if you will!
Ahh... just typing it brings me up in goosepimples.
I feel like a child all over again.
Maybe this issue the dude with the claws will be in it again?!!!!
I'd buy Alpha Flight just for him y'know?
He's cool!
He's not Alpha Flight though.
He could have been, but he wasn't.
I wish he was though.
Then Alpha Flight would have been just like the X-Men!
And I could buy two books with him in it!
Two books full of cooooooool X-Men action.
Errr... claw dude action.
Err.. I mean Alpha Flight action.
Yeah, Alpha Flight - Vindicator, Sasquatch, Northstar, Aurora, Shaman and Snowbird.
Them.
Ignoring those other ones.


Cos y'know 30 years later they're still the only people I consider Alpha Flight.
And I wanna relive that great issue month after month.
And I don't mind spending $2.99 on it!


People have suggested that y'know if I wanna read that story that I just re-read my back issues but y'know... those guys are lame.
Hella lame.
