On to fan questions for the week, I've got to admit that even with the high levels of "Alpha Flight" supporters on the boards, I was surprised at how many folks asked after the series cancellation. Predabot had probably summed up folks the best when he asked, "Alpha Flight recently got down-graded from an ongoing back to a limited series again. Was there a significant drop-off in orders and sales that took you unawares, inbetween issues, there? Also, can we hope to see some more Alpha Flight appearances after the series ends? It might certainly help to build their appeal and help get fans interested in them, much like it helped Agents of Atlas."
Alonso: It's no secret "Alpha Flight" has a strong and vocal following, and is a favorite of many here in the Marvel offices. [Writers] Fred [Van Lente] and Greg [Pak] had a really interesting approach for a maxi-series. And the fan response to the "point one" and debut issues was encouraging enough for us to take a chance with making it monthly…until new budgetary mandates forced us to rethink the strategy. As for seeing those characters in other places, absolutely. Look for one of cast to get closer to the X-Men and undergo a life-changing moment in 2012 that's sure to get fans talking.
