I fell a little too tired and kinda ill for gym today, so let's make up for it with a storytime!
It has been a while since we've seen Marrina, hasn't it?
OF COURSE Namor would tap that.
There's no room in superhero comics for physics, Puck, so quit yer whinin'!
Jesus, you're married already?!
"Alphans" is still a stupid name.
I wonder how accurate any of this is. Probably not very.
>Mosquito spirits!
Well, that's just silly.
Ha, take a look at Big Bertha here.
I'm glad you realize not everything is a goddamned spirit, Shaman.
What a lovely reunion this will be!
Pffhahahahahahaha
Time to Jason and the Argonauts this shit, eh?
What is this, a turn-based RPG?
>Shaman is come!
Who talks like this?
Without that silly coat, Shaman's new design is kinda cool.
The only way this page would get any whiter is if this took place in Maine.
Yummy.
>An apt metaphor, eh Aurora?
Oh, Puck.
Wow, OK.
Yeesh, was that sword a katana or something?
>My lord! My prince! My cousin! Unnnhhh!
lol
Oh Namor, you arrogant poop.
How can you marry a woman and not know her superhero origin
>This sounds like something out of a comic book!
Geez, man.
>C'est impossible!
Yeah, we all know how unlikely that'd be...
>Why... a fellow physician of course!
OK, that's pretty good.
Aw sheeit.
Looks like a face you can trust.
Whatta dummy.
Since when does she have eyebrows and normal-looking eyes?
Again? Sheesh, better get used to it, I guess.
>DEATHBIRTH
tee hee
Ha!
>magnetic spirit
That's so not a thing, is it?
Well this kinda came out of nowhere.
Don't be a turd, Doug.
Whatta bitch.
Gross.
Geez Liz, that's a bit much, innit?
Whelp.
So... who did Alpha Flight lose again?
I can't lie OP, I struggle to give a fuck about Alpha Flight. To make it worse, I'm Canadian
Sorry about that, I was checking some stuff I just torrented. Even more comics have joined the fray now!
>>85129281
Hah! To be honest I don't care much for Mantlo's AF so far, but Byrne's was pretty decent all in all.
I've never been big on these kind of recaps unless they're done organically.
>>85130054
You're a madman
The mighty Vindicator, thwarted by flies. What a sight.
>>85130192
Heh, sorry about that, it's just that the What If talk got me curious so i had to look up the X-Men ones. I don't think it's *all* of them since What Ifs are usually a double feature and I may have missed a few X-Men/Wolverine stories but it should be most of them in any case.
>Did his looking like Mac have anything to do with it?
Jeez.
Well, at least she admits it.
How traumatizing and mentally scarring is this whole setup anyway?
Alright, now this recap shit is getting silly.
Time to fight some goddamn giant monsters, I guess.
Sorry Liz, but drama like this is the Marvel way!
Well, that's depressing.
Kinda crappy superhero work here, guys.
Seeing Mignola draw some straight up superhero stuff is so weird.
That fourth panel is pretty cool.
This guy's a real piece of work huh.
Alright, I know I said drama is the Marvel way, but not this much!
You didn't see this coming? 'Cause I sure as hell did.
>but he's OUR cripple!
lol?
>>85125579
Namor will put his fishdick in anything, but a redhead. He's a weird mugga.
Gotta work on your banter, guys. Kinda going a bit off-topic there.
>>85129281
I'm not Canadian and I like Alpha Flight...but not Mantlo's Alpha Flight.
>My only shortcoming!
Pfft
>>85130109
>Byrne's was pretty decent all in all.
Yeah I enjoyed it. Byrne is open about not liking it and thinking it's one of his weakest works. His ego is massive, but he's really critical of his work
>>85131234
>third panel
Wasn't Mr. Jeffries supposed to be a plain-spoken Average Joe type? Why the hell is his internal monologue so overdramatic and stilted?
>>85131242
I do like that about him, I bet even Bendis won't admit to his weaker stuff.
>>85131279
Because Mantlo.
>>85131162
Yeah, and it's gonna take a while before we reach the end of it.
>>85131373
As in, there's a lot of it or it just feels like there's a lot of it?
>>85131373
>t's gonna take a while before we reach the end of it.
It's amazing to think how long Alpha Flight went on for. 130 issues for a spin off book about minor characters is crazy even for the 80/90's
X-Man got 70 something
I like how the Alphans have a suit specifically design to resist the enormous pressure they'll find underwater while the Avengers only have a helmet and diving cylinders.
>>85131520
It's only 30 issues but since these threads usually have less discussion than the other ones (UXM, NM, XF) it feels like forever before I'm finished ha.
>>85131531
>X-Man got 70 something
75 issues too many!
You raise a good point though, I wonder what happened to all those Alpha Flight fans? They're not terribly popular nowadays.
>dat Capface doe
Really? I'm sure Herc and Monica could handle most of these chumps.
That's right, we get a digital rip for once.
Oh, OK, so there IS an explanation. That's a pleasant surprise for once.
Black Knight's robo-pony is so silly.
>BRUH-KOWW
Alright calm down, Box, it's just the Avengers. No big deal desu
>>85132052
It would so much better if it was more equestrian. Like the robo ponies Apocalypse will give his horsemen
Oh Herc, you silly rascal, you and your casual sexism!
>>85132294
Yeah agreed, much better than him sitting on what looks like a kiddie ride without the plastic cover.
Pretty nice action here desu
Haha, Attuma just peeking from behind that whole. That's hilarious.
OK, you can cool it with the Avengers dicksucking.
>>85132519
*hole I meant, dammit brain.
Oh yeah, this is just fine, leave the supervillain in charge of the underwater kingdom, what could possibly go wrong?
>>85132575
>can cool it with the Avengers dicksucking
This is an Avengers issue where they team up with another team...so no
>>85132708
I mean, I get that Alpha Flight are noobs compared to them but geez.
>>85132731
> I feel an intense desire to reproduce
> Namor: How can I help?
Oh no! The Masters of Evil?! Too bad... we're not reading next issue lol
Oh yeah, we're getting there.
>>85132815
kekkle
Going back to shitty scans feels so, well, shitty desu
I don't remember this happening. MORE forced drama?
>>85132817
That's the Under Siege story where the Masters of Evil assault the mansion. It's probably the best Avengers story
Dammit, Aurora.
I wouldn't know, I never read any Avengers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>85132983
Meant for
>>85132937
Lame, Alpha Flight. And we're getting into some good New Mutants stuff
The sex couldn't have been THAT good.
>>85133020
Sorry, it's a necessary part of the mission!
Oh, gross.
>>85133045
Namor makes most of his decisions with his dick, nothing new.
>>85132052
I had to look up its origin
>Atomic Steeds were created to be used by the Knights of Wundagore by the High Evolutionary. Years later, when the Avengers were in Transia facing Chthon, the Beast found one and used it during the mission. After the mission, the Atomic Steed was taken back to Avengers Mansion and kept in storage.
>Some time later, the Black Knight found the Atomic Steed used by the Beast, and used it himself on many missions.
Dammit Beast
>>85133138
This has to be somebody's fetish.
>>85133148
>Atomic Steed
That name is a bit too cool for that thing.
>>85133213
The High Evolutionary is a bit too cool of a name for everything he does
I mean he's got his own little Isle of Doctor Moreau, except it's a whole planet.
Sorry, had to fix a broken spread.
>>85133197
Oh god please no.
>>85133337
In this issue Namor vs Baby Daddy
>I am myself again!
>Not pregnant?
Hwhat?!
What a mess!
That's all for now, later: Captain Britain! 'till then!
