Ironically only a few days after I professed my love for Alpha Flight in Alpha Flight Changed My Life on the site I found out some important news on my favorite Marvel Team that was announced a while ago on Comic Shop News. Alpha Flight is returning in a mini-series that will be a crossover into the Marvel event "Fear Itself."
This new Alpha Flight mini-series will consist of eight issues. There will be a prelude to this new series, one of Marvel’s Point One issues that provide the reader with the perfect starting point into the series. The mini-series will begin where Chaos War: Alpha Flight left off with the newly reformed Alpha Flight featuring the previously deceased members Guardian, Vindicator, Shaman and Marrina. It was suggested that Puk would also be making an appearance in the new mini-series also.
The mini-series will be written by Greg Pak (Incredible Hulk, The
Incredible Hercules) and Fred Van Lente (Web of Spider-Man, The Incredible
Hercules). The eight issue
mini-series of Alpha Flight will begin in June and the Point One prelude will appear in May. Until then, we Alpha Flight fans are
waiting!
Look familiar?
