An open letter to Scott Lobdell
Sir, my children like Alpha Flight. Zuzha Yu, Major Mapleleaf, Yukon Jack, Centenniel, Nemesis, Sasquatch is why. They like the characters. They do not like the goofiness, especially in issue #6 (Like everyone else, they expected a thrilling and/or action-packed conclusion, not a bunch of arguing, semi-flashbacks, and Looney Tunes "talking to the audience" crap. Sorry about the language).
Like me they want to know why Zuzha Yu is called a superhero when so far all she can be called is a Canadian acrobat. What can Zuzha really do?
My boys are 4 and 7. Until Alpha Flight came out they didn't read comics. Like many people they think Alpha Flight is about a team of superheroes out to save people's lives. Humor is OK but should not be the point. I agree with my boys on all counts (OK, I'm not so big a fan of Yukon Jack like they are).
Can you please respond to our concerns here and tell us flat out if you view ANADAF as a goofy comedy book worthy of Hamtaro or as a superhero comic worthy of Justice League?
I really, REALLY want your Alpha Flight to succeed but it can't if issue #6 is going to be standard fare. Alpha Flight needs to be about heroes being heroes mostly, not "goofynuts" as the older boy says. I hope you can answer our concerns.
PLEASE at least answer my two questions. :(
