Comic Book News Mentions

There are enough mentions of Alpha Flight on CBR that I thought it could be its own thread, rather than a new thread every time. (Then when I wrote the title, I thought I should expand it to any news site).

Today's is the following:

Sasquatch is clearly pictured; I assume with Captain Marvel in Civil War II.

"If you put tomfoolery into a computer, nothing comes out but tomfoolery. But this tomfoolery, having passed through a very expensive machine, is somehow ennobled and no one dares criticise it."
~ Pierre Gallois

... and a week later, this came up:
https://www.cbr.com/x-men-alpha-flig...ne-both-sides/

~ Le Messor
"They sicken of the calm, who know the storm."
~ Dorothy Parker

Here are another two mentions on CBR:
https://www.cbr.com/wolverine-agent-of-shield/
includes pages from What If...? (vol. 2) #7, which have Mac on them.

Second, but farrr worse:

We all know the answer to the article title's question without reading the article.

~ Le Messor
"Only in maths can you buy sixty cantaloupes and no one asks what the hell is wrong with you."
~ Charles M. Schulz

Here's an article about Alpha Flight:
https://www.cbr.com/john-byrnes-alph...ears-from-now/

(It's kind of based on an article that first appeared right here.)

I remember watching Red Dwarf when I was younger... incredibly funny series. :)

Yeah! Red Dwarf is a lot of fun.

There's been another Alpha Flight article just a few days later:
https://www.cbr.com/hulk-alpha-flight-crossover/

(I don't recognise the screen name of whoever who suggested it, and haven't read it yet.)

"Quotes make sense, pop music lyrics often don't."
~ Steve Willis

There's also this: https://www.cbr.com/deadpool-musical-2/

I love that Sas and Puck are the banner pic!

This talks about the resolution to the Zeitgeist story from Hudnall's run.

Here's another Northstar story:
https://www.cbr.com/northstar-pestil...k-clairvoyant/

CBR have just done a top 50 writers and artists:
John Byrne is #15 writer (https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-top-writers-15-11/), but it's his artist listing that's of specific interest:
https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-top-artists-3-1/

The write-up name drops Alpha Flight. (It's nothing more than an off-handed mention, though.)

Here's one I wasn't expecting, and actually disagree with; a list of "Brawn Over Brains – Marvel’s 10 Strongest X-Men":
(What about DC's Strongest X-Men? Huh? Nobody talks about them!)

https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/...rongest-x-men/

The first one (#10) is Northstar. Has he been retconned to have extra physical strength?

~ Le Messor
"If you want to be miserable, think about yourself, about what you want, what you like, what respect people ought to pay you and what people think of you."
~ Charles Kingsley

I think the key line is "Here are the 10 strongest X-Men currently on rosters"

That could be it - I have no idea who or what's currently on the rosters.

However, the article does estimate he could catch a station wagon…?
Is that true nowadays?

It seems to be taking some flimsy logic; I wouldn't compare JP to either Captain America or Spider-Man...
