Any thoughts on this comic series?
Basically Alpha Flight was an X-men spinoff of sorts-it was the team Wolverine was originally part of (presumabely when he fought the Hulk in his first appearence) before being recruited into the X-men. Basically, Alpha Flight were a group of Canadian heroes, led primarily by James and later Heather Hudson, who both wore the Guardian/Vindicator armor.
The series, created by John Bryne and penciled by him for the first year or so, lasted a good decade or so before being canned (Later issues notably featured early work by Jim Lee). Several attempts have been made to bring back Alpha Flight-most recently "Omega Flight"-but the team apparentally is currently in limbo, apart from the ocassional X-men/Wolverine/Avengers guest appearence. Interestingly Marinna, one of the original members who was presumed dead, was seen in stasis during the epic Kang storyline in Avengers nearly a decade ago (Which also featured Alpha Flight Nemesis Master of the World), but so far she hasn't been ressurected.
