I also appreciated inclusion of Sue and Namor. The Puck issue then underscores why I don't think he can handle the big leagues of battle, and #6 & 7 I've missed. But the Super-Skrull in 9 and 10? Completely awesome! And #12 was my first issue---imagine my shock!!! I liked the later Byrne issues I found, not the least of the reasons being I liked Omega Flight's designs and remained fascinated by the sights of Canada---a big mystery when one hails from the South.Ceasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852602817305513997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9202849355254208824.post-61970788885915545312010-06-15T11:49:23.245-04:002010-06-15T11:49:23.245-04:00Loved Alpha Flight.

It does seem that Byrne has never enjoyed making his own characters as much as playing with other people's, so his dissatisfaction with Alpha Flight at least makes sense from that perspective. <br /><br />While I've enjoyed many things Bill Mantlo wrote, his run on Alpha Flight was NOT among them. If Byrne could not convince himself to continue, I wish the reins had been handed to anyone else.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07175512698266614039noreply@blogger.com
