Posts by Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight w/ Chris & Tom

Thank you! On balance it was an interesting run.

Think the episode covering #75 should be up in May. Curious: was it a positive experience? (This is Tom and I've no idea what I'm in for w/ Hudnall, really...)

That is going right onto the running lists of "things Alpha Flight did first" Chris is building

This has set off an existential-crisis-level thought cascade about what we would say in a note.

You're right. We should.

We try to stay in our lane and this mentions the Punisher who is a comic book character so we are safely in our lane.

Plus...sweet Kirby Krackle on his nucks, always love seeing Kirky Krackle.

She always wears the costume because it's made from the remains of Delphine Courtney and in Alpha Flight you keep what you kill.

I have long joked that Department H psychiatrist is the worst job in all of Canadian government, but Department H HR gives it a run for its money.

Yet somehow Windshear takes 1 look at it and says "I'd rather do that than be on the team and get murdered by Vindicator."

"I bring you...The Gift!"
(which is confusing in light of the X-Men/Alpha Flight miniseries title, but I trust Herc fans get it)

Episode 41: Enter the Jaded Dragon - Why Not?! Today we're wrapping up the first Dream Queen arc in Alpha Flight #59 and #60 and a confusingly good time is had by all while still averting World War 3. We had recorded Issue #61 as part of this epis...

Hi, we're terrible about posting to socials regularly. Here's our latest episode, a truncated look at Alpha Flight #59-60 where we wrap up the Dream Queen and Giant Judd makes a brief appearance.

My teenage daughter got me this shirt because her Instagram algo fed her #alphaflight recommendations because it overheard me talking about it so much.

Now THAT is a great Christmas gift!

Oh, and a sticker too.

And it was written by Len Wein! No wonder the small details were right!

JMH is...an enormous jerk and yet somehow kinda right too.

Mac is a complicated character.

Strange highlight: Snowbird looks right because she looks like Melania Trump.

As I exclaim my (negative) professional opinion, my youngest is telling me to quiet down because she is invested in this.

How have I never seen this before? It's strangely awesome and accurate to some incredible details, like Gen. Chasen and Heather's outfits. But Alpha Flight is as exciting as cardboard.

I do appreciate she has to scramble for her glasses like Velma and cold blooded shoots Logan with a rifle. So that much is comics accurate.

Of all the outfits Heather could wear, a lab coat seems the most incongruous.

I'm watching X-Men TAS S02E05 Repo Man guest starring Alpha Flight, crashing together X-Men #109, Alpha Flights first appearance in UXM #139 AND the Weapon X saga.

IN 22 MINUTES.

Hey #alphaflight fans! Im working on my next set of heads, but these weren't drawn by Byrne and lack the detail those classic 70s/80s heads had (left column, original to the 1988 art). So I improvised a bit and I think the right hand column looks pretty good as a draft.
