""NRAMA: Keeping with the Pittsburgh con, Mike Oeming teased a few things, that he has a “something huge” spinning out of Civil War this September (that is not Thor). We haven’t double-checked to see if Oeming is originally from Canada, but one title certainly springs to mind…

JQ: I believe Oeming is from the barren, icy wilderness of New Jersey.

NRAMA: He also mentioned Beta Ray Bill showing up in a regular series, and reiterated that Ares will be joining a super-team. Anything you can add to any of this?

JQ: Nope, so far it sounds like a plan, but it’s way too early to talk about. But thinking about this, if you’re hinting at Oeming writing Alpha Flight, are Beta Ray Bill and Ares Canadian?"

NRAMA: Fair enough… So starting from the right, Joe Quesada told us straight away just a few weeks ago in New Joe Fridays that you’d be writing Beta Ray Bill again in a title (as opposed to a Beta Ray Bill), so that one is a lock and we’re not letting you off the hook.

What can you tell readers about his inclusion on the team? Was he someone you enjoyed writing so much you just wanted to include him, or does he have some sort of other logical connection to this team?

MO: Okay, I'll give this one up because I love you and Beta Ray Bill. Plus, 90% of the posts I read already guessed it and the other were thinking it was something like Thunderstrike or a robot Thor, no one fell for it as being Thor himself, however he is returning- so yes, that clearly is Beta Ray Bill!

Yeah, its pretty obvious. All you Hulk Thor people are crazy.

I personally think they killed off Alpha Flight so they didn't have 2 of the same group running around. Kill off 1 of the 2 Alpha Flights, grab people's attention (ala Hawkeye), huge comeback for the members of Alpha Flight. Omega Flight shocks people and grabs more attention.

They're setting up Alpha Flight for a monster comeback.

you may just be right....

NRAMA: Now, assuming this is the line-up – though perhaps minus an addition or two - a lot of characters associated with Alpha Flight in the past aren’t present. What role – if any – will characters line Heather Hudson, Puck, Sasquatch, Northstar, and Aurora, etc… play in this series?

MO: Oh, we will be seeing them again soon enough. I will say this - part of the idea of moving on is that they are done with Flight. Imagine being in an epic rock band, and a few of your members dies. A year later people demand your reunion and the group is being reformed... you might not like that. Your band is gone, young memories lie in the past, for you, its time to move on and hope the new band either falls off a cliff or they carry on and honor the name. We'll see both reactions.

I say, lets see the originals back damnit!

MO: Alright, I'll do what I can, but I can’t give solid answers yet. The main reason is that fans and doubters alike are having a great time guessing and coming up with great reasons to why their guesses are right and I don’t want to ruin that yet. Also, I'll give a scoop here and now - some minor changes are still taking place that could affect the line up. Not in taking people out, but adding someone not in the promo already done!"

Come on Puck or Sasquatch

I'd be happy to see Wildchild again. Preferrably with fur. *pretends Weapon X didn't happen*

 

[King_Mungi]

Well good news, he is depowered (no more vampire) and will be appearing in New Excalibur soon, Weapon X made Wild Child a punk.

 

[squeekness]

Really? New Excaliber? I did not know that. I'll have to look out for it.

Apparently, he's vampire in the previews but suppose to be depowered:

*sigh*

Not a damn thing wrong with that sentiment. The original Alpha Flight WORKS. All the other variations were crap.

 

[Darthphere]

They mightve worked, but the truth is, they didnt sell. This seems like an interesting concept though.

 

[Doc Destruction]

Well, they did at first (the Byrne stuff). But, then they started destroying the characters and that was that.

I really liked the original Omega Flight, too.

 

[King_Mungi]

Actually the only one that didn't sell was vol.3, as even the sales for vol.2 would have editors jumping for joy today to have those numbers.

That preview was for the July issue, long gone now. I don't think he is actually going to properly appear in the book though I admit, the preview peaked my interest. I didn't think Excalibur was going to be worth picking up. I might have been wrong about that.

I highly doubt that.

Whoops didn't think it was out yet, my bad.

 

[squeekness]

S'okay.

 

[King_Mungi]

I highly doubt that.

Actually it's true, but was during Marvel's bankrupcy issues and several comics had to be let go. Look at their numbers.

I dont believe you.

Meh! no scratch of my back

 

[Roughneck]

Soooo...Nine pages and I missed it huh.

Looks like I got some back reading to do.

 

[Roughneck]

I hope that that's Major MapleLeaf II in the Guardian suit

 

[supermarvelman]

He bit the bullet though.

Buahaha.
