Alpha Flight ongoing

Can we make it official?

Glad to see that Pak can still pull great comebacks for old characters into a new rewarding reading experience. Alpha Flight started strong and the readers followed, there was the Planet Hulk run and then Incredible Herc. That's to say he's brilliant starting new concepts but can he keep it up long enough?

I'm going to see how and when to pre-order the first TPB, hopefully this arc will be collection material.

Yes great news as there has only been three issues out and its better then most marvel titles out now. The art alone is worth a buy.

Its common for an on-going to become a mini, but a mini becoming an on-going? Very rare

Spoiler:
The Master of the World

Cancelled.

WTF...

Yeah I don't get it, that's Marvel for you

Apparently they've cancelled several books and laid off quite a bit of staff too. It almost feels like they're downsizing...

Is this the DC Ascendancy period?

I've seen higher-ups say that they aren't lagging behind DC, or that when they are it isn't by much.

I dunno tbh, but you'd think with Disney's backing they wouldn't need to be doing shit like this.

Yeah Greg Pak mentioned 15 people were fired. Even some minis which were not even half way done were canceled so they finished at issue #3 rather then #6.

It's interesting as Alpha Flight was still selling better then several other on-goings.

It was supposed to get converted in to a regular book, iirc.

They're just trolling the Alpha Flight fan.

no typo.

They are, same thing happened with the Omega Flight series. It was supposed to be an on-going but even before the first issue came out they downgraded it to a mini for no reason.

Ghey.

Are we sure the original final issue solicit just wasn't updated when Alpha Flight became an ongoing?

Yep, Greg Pak and Dale confirmed it was cancelled.

Which is a shame as it really was one of Marvel's better books on the market. The art and the story telling was all very well done.

Marvel must be hurting, their even cancelling minis even before the first issue comes out

Is this just prejudice against Canada in general?

Omega Flight was supposed to be an ongoing series four years ago, until Marvel reneged.

Connect the dots. 😖hifty:

Wow another mini cancelled
