It was rumored that Alpha Flight might be coming back at the hands of Jim McCann. However, as discussed at Comic Book Resources’ T & A article, Tom Brevoort discussed how exactly Alpha Flight will be “coming back.”
Alpha Flight is dead. Dead, dead, dead. I killed them. (Well, Bendis and I.) They are demised, dead, finished, decomposing, dead. They’re hanging out with Nightcrawler.
However, if you happen to live in Canada (or are just visiting during the right weekend), the members of Alpha Flight are taking over for the Avengers, at least for one special variant cover to “Avengers” #4 illustrated by Phil Jimenez. This special extremely limited edition will only be available for purchase at the Fan Expo in Canada on August 28 and 29. And wait’ll you read the cover copy!
Y’know, if somebody like Phil were to illustrate it, I bet we might be able to get an Alpha Flight series to sell at that…
Sorry, Alpha Flight fans. Looks like you’ll have to keep asking this question for another couple years.
