Alpha Flight #0.1

[stolisomancer]

While it may be slightly overshadowed this week by the release of a few other big-ticket comics, such as an issue of Avengers, Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente, and Ben Oliver have released a "point one" issue of their new run on Alpha Flight.

I have no strong opinions on Alpha Flight as a group, aside from when I was eight and an issue of John Byrne's run on the book scared the hell out of me (it was the one with a woman with a mouth for a face, if that means anything to you), but I flipped through this issue in the store based on Pak and Van Lente's names. I am now somewhat convinced that they A) read Scans Daily, and B) pander to it.



It has it all! Aurora in therapy! Sasquatch not being an emo bastard!




Northstar! Boobs! (Actually, that's kind of a hot outfit. If you look really closely, she's wearing a bodysuit under a trenchcoat; it has heels.) (Also, Kara going all super-criminal is a plot point.)




Also, because you goofs are you, I present:

Quick question- has Northstar ever gotten a kiss with a guy before this?

I thought I read somewhere that he has not. I'm pretty sure this is meant to be his first.

Way overdue :)
