Well, two things.Originally Posted by dbutler69
Heather's change is not that far away from where you are. Not that far at all.
And as for it getting better - you're going to endure some really, really, really, rough stuff ahead.
But it does get better.
Like 40 issues from where you are.
But it does get better.
That said, your mileage may vary. I speak only for myself.
Curious to see if we will agree, on someone who will be coming up much later...Actually, D, unless you get beyond issue 60, neither of these things will come up.
On this, most of us are in agreement.
Very true; though I can't keep track of when she calls herself Vindicator and when Guardian.
Sasquatch is a LOT of hair!

Willow: Nervous?
Xander: No way. I'm full of that good ole kamikaze spirit.
Giles: Xander, just because this is never going to work is no need to be negative.
Thanks, I'm glad to hear that Heather gets powered up soon.
I'm up to #31, and still not liking the post-Byrne era so far. I REALLY miss Byrne! The dialogue is bad, and the art is bad, though it looks like there will be a new penciller in a few issues, anyway.
So, hey, I only have to sait 37 more issues. No problem.
The Following is the official forum Alpha Flight Questionnaire. This automatically gets sent to new members. I would also like for existing members to take a minute to fill this out, as it is a great way to see the interests of fellow Alpha Flight Fans.

9. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one member of Alpha Flight, Who would it be (powers can not get you off the island) Aurora, well it would depend on which personality was stuck on the island with me.
10. Who was/is/could be the best leader of Alpha Flight? Sasquetch
11. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight writer? So far it is Byrne
12. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight writer? Need to read further and read the other versions before deciding on a bad writer.

That's VERY cool to have someone who is relatively new to Alpha Flight. The majority of us became fans back in Alpha Flight's "glory days" - and considering the lack of exposure the team gets, it's awesome to see they still pull in new fans!
He does definitely stand out - but then, so does the majority of Alpha Flight.
Not surprised based on Answer 2.
I liked Flashback, for as little as we got of him.
Interesting! Of all the villains Alpha Flight faced! Did you jump on with World War Wendigo?
Heh. His storyline in Alpha Flight was pretty weak.
FF Cross Over?
You're REALLY a fan of Puck.
LOL! True.
Aurora has multiple personalities. Snowbird is likely to take the form of an owl or bear and rip your heart out. Heather's liable to kill you for no good reason. Marrinna is liable to turn into a big alien creature...
I could see that.
Probably going to remain that way.
Probably not going to change either.
Of all the stories - THAT is the one you'd undo?
1. How long have you been collecting Alpha Flight? Not a collector really, just a fan
2. What was your first memory of Alpha Flight? If recent, what was your first reaction? Canadian team with varied members
3. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight character? Box (Jeffries) and Feedback, then Puck.
4. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight character? Right now, Marinna, never liked the character much.
5. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight villain? Still Dreamqueen or Master.
6. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight villain? Not sure really.
7. What do you think is the best issue / story-arch from Alpha Flight? Now? Registration storyline, really told an interesting, new story.
8. What do you consider the Alpha Flight "Dream Team"? Now? Puck, Guardian, Box, Feedback, Ghost Girl, Nemesis, Killjoy, Talisman.
9. If you were to be stuck on a desert island with one member of Alpha Flight, Who would it be (powers can not get you off the island) Now? Aurora likely.
10. Who was/is/could be the best leader of Alpha Flight? Puck.
11. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight writer? Furman.
12. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight writer? Not sure at all.
13. Who is your favorite Alpha Flight artist? Not sure.
14. Who is your least favorite Alpha Flight artist? Same, not sure.
15. If you could undo one thing in Alpha Flight history, what would it be? All the pointless deaths and jokes about AF.
Keep your stick on the ice.
Live it.
Okay, this I have to hear? You're a fan but don't actually collect the issue?
When did you hear about Alpha Flight?
Amazing! That's almost the opposite of the previous person who answered! (Except for Puck; who they mentioned as their favorite, but said that Box and Feedback were their least liked!)
I liked Flashback too!
She was pretty plain.
Excellent choices.
Just say Llan the Sorcerer!
Some interesting choices!
She is easy on the eyes, and best chance of breeding survival!
Agreed.
Interesting!
A-FREAKING-MEN!
I figure that means volume 1 #3-4.FF Cross Over?
Also, with all this talk of Wendigo - interesting that they never faced one of their own biggest villains in their own book! (At least, not v1.)

"The CIA really bugs me."
This looks so familiar.
With issue #1. I was already collecting Uncanny X-Men, Uncanny X-Men #121 being one of my first comics, ever. I thought Alpha Flight looked very dynamic and different. Instantly loved the team.
See #1.
If I had to name a favorite, I think I would go with Snowbird. Though Shaman is just a hair behind her. And Sasquatch, just a hair behind him.
There's been a lot of the Beta and Gamma I disliked; but the one that sticks out above the rest is Mannikin.
Master of the World, followed VERY closely by DreamQueen, who I think has a ton of untapped potential.
Anyone who knows me, knows, Llan the Sorcerer takes this spot.
The first 12 issues are amazing, though I disliked Mac's fate as a result of it.
Pretty much the team from issue #1: Snowbird, Shaman, Sasquatch, Mac (Guardian/Vindicator), Puck, Marinna, Aurora (and if needed, Northstar, mostly because he seems to be shining in X-Men).
Snowbird. And probably for reasons no one wants to hear about.
Mac, hands down. Heather was horrible. She was too much, "Shoot to kill {my own team mates} and sort it out later."
Byrne and then Fabian.
Sadly, Bill, because of what he did to Heather.
Byrne. Followed by Lee.
Carmilee or whatever his name was?
Mac's original death. So that the stories that followed that tried to explain how he survived could be undone.
Roger Bochs. I just didn't like him. lol. As for the scrambled eggs, I did like that one to a point. Now that I think of it, that would be a good What If!?

dbutler69, welcome to alphaflight.net!
Thanks for your questionnaire answers. This thread is supposed to be for questionnaire stuff so let's continue the conversation in a thread in Alpha Talk.
Love,
rplass
Aw! I loved the scrambled eggs! One of My favorite scenes from Byrne's run. In one of my favorite issues. Oh well, I guess not everyone loves eggs...
When you say Box is your least favourite... Which Box? Jeffries? (Because you're likeliest to have seen him.)
That'd be during Nicieza's run. Was that when they faced Doom?
(I honestly don't remember it.)
I remember the Headlok issue, but I didn't remember the FF were in it.
