Alpha Flight in Wolverine Saga Free Comic
Not to be confused with the four-part graphic novel miniseries "Wolverine Saga" published in 1989, Wolverine Saga is a free promo comic featuring our favorite Alpha Friend. Unlike the "Spotlight" issue (link to another post), which you had to pay for, and brought you up to date on the recent happenings in Wolverine's life, this is a history lesson featuring a ton of images, a well-written narrative and many, many Alpha Flight appearances.
I'm really impressed by this free giveaway, not sure why Marvel didn't at least charge something for it, but I'm not complaining!
Solicit from Marvel
All the art is reprinted from previous issues, sorry, no new images, but here's a rundown:
--James and Heather in a recreation of the honeymoon rescue in the snow scene (reprinted from Alpha Flight v2 minus 1)
--A scene from First Flight with Stitch, St. Elmo and Snowbird in their Gamma Flight training jumpsuits and Groundhog very tiny in the background.
--A panel from Aurora's origin (From the 2nd story of Alpha Flight #9) showing Jeanne-Marie in the alley.
--A beat-up looking Weapon Alpha reprinted from the Bedlam flashback from Alpha Flight #53
--An awesome looking Weapon Alpha reprinted from Uncanny X-Men #109
--Heather wearing her battlesuit in the woods facing off against Lady Deathstrike, reprinted from Alpha Flight #34
--Northstar, in resurrected zombie-mode along with Elektra, facing off against Wolverine in Wolverine v3 #27.
A very, very fine showing of Alpha Flight in this little free promo comic. Go get it for your collection, it's free!!
Love,
