Episode 48: The One Where Tom Flips A Table
Folks, this was a tough episode to get done. Not because of anything in our lives, no sir, but because of the issues covered. Tom really broke this time (as did Chris). It’s certainly one of our loosest episodes but you’ll get those sometimes. We do still have a pleasant time (even if Tom did Read more

Episode 47: See You At The Crossroads
Well, we’ve bicc’ed off most of the Mantlo threads and are into Hudnall proper. We cover three issues this week and they’re…interesting?! [upward vocal fry] We get into some of the neat things going on in these pages and a lot of the not-so-neat things. We also discuss Malört, losing Beta Flight for the next Read more

Episode 46: What the Hudnall?!
…and thus does the Hudnall era begin… And we’re befuddled. It’s a rough start but hope springs eternal! We’ve a ton more Talisman, a new old face returns (much to Tom’s chagrin), and we simply burn off a whole mess of plotlines. Oh, and we set a record for the number of deaths in a Read more

Episode 44: Keep Alpha Flight Weird!
In our penultimate episode covering Bill Mantlo’s run on Alpha Flight things. get. weird. But quite interesting, too, as Wanda works some things out and Madison, well, Madison discovers the past isn’t always done with you. Really interesting episodes but just kinda weird, too. But, hey, that’s not such a bad thing is it? Issues discussed: Read more

Episode 42: Wanda and the Kids
Episode 42: “Wanda and the Kids” It’s our somewhat delayed coverage of issue 61 and, yeah, getting sick really throws a wrench in things. But! It’s a great issue as Heather and Jeffries spar with Canadian MPs over Alpha Flight’s direction and Wanda and Beta Flight go on a helluva field trip through Ottawa. The Read more

Episode 41: Enter the Jaded Dragon
Today we’re wrapping up the first Dream Queen arc in Alpha Flight #59 and #60 and a confusingly good time is had by all while still averting World War 3. We had recorded Issue #61 as part of this episode but life, uh, finds a way and editing that conversation is proving to take longer Read more

Episode 40: RiDQulous
And we’re back! New year, new energy, and the return of some of our favorite audio gags! It’s been a minute since we talked Alpha Flight so we take our time catching back up on everything that’s brought the team to this place; that place being inside of Box who is now a spaceship. Yep, Read more

Episode 39: “A Sas Called Wanda”
In which Alpha Flight goes on several distinct genre-based adventures over the course of 3 issues…and we feel the whiplash. Lot more on Goblyn; less discernible rules to characters’ power; and the return of…the Great Beasts!!! In this episode, Chris: and Tom: Why Not Read Alpha Flight is brought to you by listeners like you Read more

Episode 38: “Always Choose the Sasquatch”
We circle back to a couple issues we skipped over in our zeal to keep the narrative moving and boy do they really expand on Heather’s characterization. Are they groundbreakingly original stories? No. Are they solidly done and enjoyable? Absolutely. Mantlo…you really know how to play with our emotions. In this episode, Chris: and Tom: Read more

Episode 37: “Bedlam? I hardly knew him!”
It’s a proper 3-issue arc! Which feels shockingly novel! In which, the Canadian government finds out just how different an Alpha Flight—and Vindicator—they have on their hands; one of JMH’s failed experiments makes a return; JMH’s GREATEST failure shows up for a bit (yeah, Wolverine is guesting); Wanda muses on her current state (we’ll get Read more
