Alpha Flight actually appeared IN the X-Men and they proved so popular they were spun out into their own title. The New Mutants was the first real 'x-title', to be sure...but Alpha Flight I think rightfully deserves the title of spin-off. In media terms, a spin-off generally refers to moving a character from one title to another and then changing the focus and protagonist (example: Angel moving from Buffy to his own show).
