Looks good! I'm liking this new Aurora. May ain't coming soon enough.

It's starting off good as they recall the old Aurora and Sasquash love.

THis is some mighty spiffy art!

I'm sorry, but I really don't need to see Wolverine on yet ANOTHER team. I'll be quite happy with the spotlight on other characters.

I LOVE me some Alpha Flight. I'll be grabbing this in a heartbeat.

Geography time! The La Grande dams are (appropriately enough) located on the river of the same name, more than a thousand km north of the St-Lawrence.

But that's okay. The real Alpha Flight seems to be back. Please let them not be turned into cyborgs or killed again too soon!

Looks good - but a 0.1 issue? Come on Marvel!

To their credit, it's partially an issue for folks like me who need a bit of a taste/primer for these Alpha Flight cats. I mean, I've heard of and knew of Alpha Flight for centuries, but I never went out of my way to try them; a .1 issue allows me what I feel is a good jumping on point, so to speak. If I don't like the .1 issue it will save me from having to buy the rest of the series, or vice-versa, if I dig it, then I was terrifically helped out a bit.

Is it just me or does Citadel look a lot like the D&D Warforged?

That said, I continue to look forward to this, even if the preview didn't focus on the characters I'm most interested in.

But isn't that what a 0 issue is for?

Looks promising, even though the artist is no Dale Eaglesham.

And Wolverine on the team could actually be a cool thing, if Marvel had the guts to do it PROPERLY. ;)

Basically, have him quite the Avengers AND X-men, and join Alpha Flight, for some reason. ( would be neato if he still had his black-ops X-force shady dealings on the side, heh heh)
