I've loved Alpha Flight since the 80s so I've been waiting for new Alpha Flight stories for some time. Aside from Wolverine, they're really the only Canadian super heroes from Marvel. That alone makes me interested, but the characters make me stay.

This book is completely self-contained so while there is certainly a starting point for a new story, so you can be safe that you'll get to the end and not worry about a To Be Continued. The story may fit into the FEAR ITSELF storyline, you don't need to know the other stories to read this. Pak has definitely made this a Canadian story which is nice to see instead of what might have been done, using generic locations to appeal to a larger audience.

I think it works best for a Canadian audience, but should still work well for a more general audience. Give it a try. ( )
