Alpha Flight #75-They have been battling in various dimensions for a long time. Like 3 months passed in real-time in the 616 universe when they come upon Dreamqueen's world, which Llan manipulated.

-Talisman turns the Human Torch into a block of ice shattering him and killing him
-Diamond Lil hits Colossus's face caving it in
-Box v.4 with just a head and then rebuilds himself
-Sasquatch beats Hulk [Off panel]
-Box v.4 destroys Thing with a hit
-Talisman beats Thor by making him "burn"
-Guardian II takes out Rogue
-Vision attacks Sasquatch's organs, but his healing factor prevents him from dying.
-Talisman sends them home

Yeah.... it sucks.

They're not all dead though right? Puck and Guardian are shown on a Civil War poster.

And Sasquatch and Shaman are too cool to die.

I was wondering when you would find out.

nathan summers the man called cable

It's bullsh*t. Utter bullsh*t. This is what I mean. They keep crap like Ultimate X-Men and blow off mainstream groups like Alpha Flight who deserve a chance. Ugh. Why is it I smell an Ultimate Alpha Flight around the corner?

I AM SO ****ING PISSED OFF, I CAN'T EVEN FOCUS RIGHT NOW! ****ING *******! *******!

Ult. X-men is a good title. It's consistently in the top 10.

But yea it is crap the way AF went down. Maybe it was a fluke just to sell issues. Cause Guardian is around during Civil War.

King_Mungi ...........

We don't know that, since the cover has Hulk on it but he isn't going to be around. Spider-Man is not in his new costume, so that could just have been a spoiler-free poster.

F YOU BENDIS!

I was just trying to give you some hope.

Dead isn't dead anyways in comics. They will return.

I'm so pissed off beyond belief right now. I'm glad I'm not the only one

It's the principle, you don't kill of a group of characters that have been around for 30 years without at least showing them go down in a blaze of glory. It's disrespectful to the fans, if Bendis handled it better I would have been fine with this.

You think he would have learned after the whole hawkeye thing. I think he just doing it now to piss people off.

HE HAS FOR SURE PISSED ME OFF!

It's ironic. So far this year has been terrible to my favourite characters: Chamber - Depowered
Banshee - Dead
Aquaman - Being replaced in his own book
And now Shaman, Sasquatch and the other Alphans have been shat all over.
But i'm enjoying all the titles more this year than last. So yeah, Ironic... and very annoying.

ScarletSpider Ben Reilly

Aquaman, Arthur, will be coming back eventually though. Busiek said something about it, he has a huge overall plan.

King_Mungi ...........

Uhhhh....I'm so upset, I can't believe Bendis did that. All my work trying to give them credibility and he kills them off without even showing the fight.

Lucid Lui Air Laki Laki

Well, i'm pretty sure this isn't the end for Alpha Flight. They've always had a decent fan base, and when you kill off a character/team, for some reason, alot more fans suddenly appear. It'll probably be a fair few years, but we'll see another Alpha Flight book eventually.

And if Bucky can come back from the dead, then it's definately possible for Alpha.

the fight might be shown in some of the pages we havent seen yet, or in a later issue, or something. i've been a proponent (though not nearly to mung's level) of alpha flight since i started reading comics. admittedly, that's only eight-ish years ago, and i didn't really know shit about them until about three or so years back, but still. sucks to see 'em go.

sucks to see all but major mapleleaf go.

I only just starting to get into Alpha Flight about 6-7 months ago. I'm a newbie to the Alpha FLight world. Still I feel they just spat in the face of all the Alpha Flight fans and the people's comments at newsarama sickens me.

the second series of alpha flight was one of the first comics i ever really was interested in, right after the Green Goblin (ya, I know how to pick them)

they gave token alphians a better death than they did the real ones there. Remember Sask saving radius from that zodiak death slime? Thats a heroic end..... sorta... way better than this at least

i think a necessary question here should be, if Alpha Flight is annihiliated so easily by an enemy like that, WTF are cap, spidey and wolverine going to do to it, hell, i dont even remember Onslaught doing stupid shit like that

Yeah Sasquatch II's death was handled quite well and become part of Radius character. It was impactful and served a huge purpose.

Yeah that's what I said, I ****ING HATE BENDIS!
