Fan Expo Vancouver Inspires “Alpha Flight” Memories!

 As I head north from Seattle to British Columbia for Fan Expo Vancouver I’m remembering one of my favorite books – Alpha Flight by John Byrne!

  The Canadian super team debuted in Uncanny X-Men #120 in 1979 on a mission to bring back Weapon X aka Wolverine home. Byrne’s 28 issue run is great storytelling blending elements of magic, mutants, aliens and amazing science.

  Vancouver is hosting its first major comicon so I hope to see some Alpha Flight showing their pride in costume. I would especially love to see Snowbird – one of my characters on the team.
