COVER: JOHN BYRNE
In celebration of the 25th anniversary and presented here for the first time in full-archival
color, including pages straight from the Byrne/Austin originals, the Dark Phoenix Saga!
Gathered together by Professor Charles Xavier to protect a world that fears and hates
them, the X-Men had fought many battles, been on adventures that spanned galaxies,
grappled enemies of limitless might, but none of this could prepare them for the most
shocking struggle they would ever face. One of their own members, Jean Grey, has
gained power beyond all comprehension, and that power has corrupted her absolutely!
Now they must decide if the life of the woman they cherish is worth the existence of the
entire universe!
Collecting X-Men #132-140, Annual #4 with special bonus features including the
original X-Men #137 story where Jean Grey lived “Phoenix: The Untold Story” and the
Claremont/Buscema Phoenix classic from Bizarre Adventures #27! And if that wasn’t
enough, brace yourself for a brouhaha with Wendigo and the seminal story of that furry
blue elf Nightcrawler in "Nightcrawler’s Inferno."

INFINITY GAUNTLET TPB PREVIEW
Discuss this in the Alpha Waves Forum.
WRITER: JIM STARLIN
PENCILS: GEORGE PÉREZ & RON LIM
For the dark Titan, Thanos, the Infinity Gauntlet was the Holy Grail, the ultimate prize to
be coveted above all else. With it came omnipotence: the absolute control of all aspects
of time, space, power, reality, the mind and the soul. The gaining of supreme might
meant the beginning of a black nightmare for the entire universe. Now, on the edge of
Armageddon and led by the mysterious Adam Warlock, Earth’s super heroes join in a
desperate attempt to thwart this nihilistic god’s insane plunge into galactic self-
destruction. Should the heroes fail, the astral gods of the universe wait to step into the
fray. But in such an awesome cosmic conflict will anyone prevail? Will anyone survive?

JOE QUESADA SPEAKS ABOUT ALPHA FLIGHT
At the Canadian National Comic Book Expo 2004 Joe Quesada made some quotes regarding Alpha Flight:
DAY 2:
"The current Alpha Flight series will not be in “Byrne style”, but such a thing might happen later."
DAY 3:
"Quesada said it’s too soon to tell how Alpha Flight will do, and that Marvel’s giving it a chance to see. They appreciate that it’s doing something different, but he pointed out that “everything’s cyclical” when asked about the return of the classic team."
