Alpha FLight #1...

Back in 1985 Marvel Comics came out with a comic book about a group of Canadian superheroes, Alpha Flight, who worked for a mysterious branch of government called Department H. It was a spin-off from X-Men, and was, I think, the pet project of writer/artist John Byrne. It had its ups and downs (many downs, in my opinion, and not many ups) and it was eventually cancelled.

They're coming out with the same title again. I looked at a picture from it here.

What, only one woman on the team? Mind you it's hard to tell the gender of the one in red - or Sasquatch. I recognize Sasquatch, but who are those other people?

That's Heather in the background I think in her new Guardian battle armor. That's probably James next to Walter but I'm not sure if that is Jeanne-Marie (Aurora) standing in front of Walter. The other's I'm not sure about. But the character with the symbols on his chest may be Shaman in a new costume.

Cool. Thanks for the run-down. This looks really interesting. I hope it's Jeanne-Marie/Aurora, but I suspect they'll have a few surprises in store for us.
