Some Alpha Flight appearances

[Phil]

Seems to me, nobody knows what happened to Mar, as far as I remember.

Or just nobody cares.

I think this new character is an interesting choice.
I was quite perturbed by the fact that there was no Canadian Academy/Flight Program involved in the issue when I saw the solicits/announcement of the series as the rest of the world was featured, and while this doesn't make up for it per se it's a nice touch and bit of research.
Odd that they're at the Braddock Academy though, but between Windshear and Wild Child's retcon it kinda fits in with AF lore.

Funny. I cared. I liked Mar and the idea that he was Marrina's child. Of course I cared more that Marrina was brought back. I've always loved the character.
This new character is definitely a surprise and a welcomed one. I always liked the character of Box (before Mantlo turned him into a psychotic mess) because he was so different and not your typical fully-toned superhero. I had hoped that when we saw Box in the latest AF series, that the real Bochs was back, but no such luck. I hope that they do this character justice and as others have mentioned, he is not just treated as a red-shirt.

Mar is not Marrina's child, though it was hinted so at the end of v3 that he was Namor's, possibly both of them. I liked him too!

Er, hoping Rob won't mind if I link this quote back to where he first brought it up:http://alphaflightcollector.wordpres...igh-of-relief/

Even a Hull House Program would have been okay! More than okay, in fact!

Yeah, I'd have loved to have seen Flex & Ghost Girl appear.

Appears Kindt is a John Byrne fan.

Basically all the elite students from Braddock Academy are in Avengers Arena, these two are the leftovers pretty much. Queintin Quire mocks them, but says they would make a good 1980's detective team

Alpha Flight needs to show up in Infinity and be a force to be reckoned with so people will start taking them seriously.

Chris, I was hoping that Validator would be the big hero in Infinity and save the day.

Heck, why not? Marvel once had Norman Osborne appear to save the world from the Skrull Invasion...

Validator kind of just vanished, she has had one panel since her big appearance. Hopefully she appears again soon

So Axel Alonso is promising more Validator in the future. Good to hear!

Ahab you get the alphaflight.net "post of the week" award. I just made up the award of course but I liked your post so much that I decided to give it to you.

I'm pretty sure the Box Jr. character will do well in the contest ,hoping it will spin out into an ongoing Beta Flight title.

[Phil]

Funny. I cared.

Likewise, but 99% of the general comic-reading public didn't.

I have a theory that the Marrina in volume 4 is Mar!
