and earlier discussions in the series talk about The Immortal Hulk*, and includes some imagery of Snowbird from that book. This one mentions her by name, and also Alpha Flight.
And this one:

Talks about Puck and mentions Sasquatch.
* 3 months later: I haven't rewatched the video, but I'm pretty sure I meant The Incredible Hercules here, not The Immortal Hulk.

This video:
https://sfdebris.com/videos/special/fhtit1.php
talks about Her, and mentions at one point that Her's next appearance (after whatever appearance the video just mentioned) was not until Alpha Flight's 100th issue.
On the letters page in X-Men: The Hidden Years #21, a letter-writer asks (in reference to Cyclops and Havok) :
"Are all mutant siblings immune to one another's power?"
The answer includes:
"There are even examples of siblings who share their powers for greater effect Northstar and Aurora or Andrea and Andreas Strucker"
The Outsiders #15 (Jan 1987) letters page:
"The back-up stories continue to be winners. "All About Halo's Auras" was informative, and John Byrne gave us a perky Halo. However, I have to admit his art is not as good as Jim Aparo's. John gets an "A" to Jim's A++." (Yeah, but the shoe might be on the other foot if you saw Jim's version of Alpha Flight.)"
(the letter is by Bob Daniels of Albany, NY; the comment in italics is Mike W. Barr's comeback, inserted into the letter as shown.)
On the subject of The Outsiders, GeoForce has basically Guardian's powers. After #13, that includes his 'stopping and letting the world spin beneath him' trick.

Incredible Hulk #393 is an anniversary issue (an actual anniversary, for once!), and contains a long text piece basically about Hulk's life history (as if written by Doc Samson).
Walter Langkowski is namedropped a couple of times, and a panel of AF (from Sas's origin) is reprinted.
My copy is in The Incredible Hulk by Peter David omnibus, the mentions of Walt one pages 743 and 746.

Thanks, but it wasn't hard - I just had to read it.![]()
This doesn't really count, but I wanted to ping it here:
Ben 10
Two of the people he mentioned have worked on Alpha Flight, and I don't think it's a coincidence they worked on other things together.
This series is probably going to lead to much bigger mentions, but for now, SF Debris is doing an article about Immortal Hulk.
In the first essay, there's only one 'mention' - we see the cover of Incredible Hulk #279 at about 7:50.
Continuing from my last post, SF Debris has been doing a running series about The Hulk, and he's reached The Immortal Hulk. Langkowski / Sasquatch comes up.
He really pronounces the 'k' in Langkowski. Honestly, it took me years to notice it, so I don't pronounce it at all.

CBR did an article which mentions the first X-Men / Alpha Flight miniseries:
https://www.cbr.com/xmen-ai-art-nimrod/
This article excerpts from Uncanny X-Men #109.
… and this one has a Byrne quote that mentions James Hudson. In tiny writing for me, so I had to paste it into Word to read it.
It includes an interesting revelation about Byrne's original plans for Hudson and Wolverine.
