Waaaaaaay back in December 2019, me and Eamonn Clarke struggled through powercuts and other sundry difficulties to discuss one of the classic Alpha Flight Issues and then I never got around to doing anything about it.

We're back with the first proper Alpha Pod Flight for a while! We talk about one of my favourite issues, the 1986 Annual, where there's some ghost stuff (very on brand for me) Diablo is written as a coward and incredibly Shaman doesn't Do A Shaman!Please forgive me for the cover art, I've not got Photoshop at the moment so I did my best using the Snipping Tool.Anthony can be found on twitter here: https://twitter.com/Cerebus92DC In...

Here's an Alpha Not Flight where I let Bill talk about his favourite ever comic, Dungeon Fun!If you're interested in buying the comic (which you should be, it's great) I think the best place to get it might be BHP Comics, who've put the first four issues out in a very handsome trade paperback: https://bhpcomics.squarespace.com/buy-books/dungeon-fun

aka The Immortal Alpha Pod Hulk FlightMatt and me sat down to the little lake thing at the Barbican and occasionally remembered to talk about Alpha Flight, and the Immortal Hulk which alpha Flight have been turning up in, but mostly this is an exercise in tangents, which if you've already heard me talk about alpha Flight a lot is probably some kind of relief.Alpha Pod Flight, Copyright 2019 Gareth A HopkinsAlpha Flight cover image ...

Here's the original recorded interview that the text from 'The Exploding Mess' was based on, minus a 10-second clip called 'Fall Damage' which was made by my son.The only person that comes out well in the recording is my daughter, I think, but that's normal.If you don't have a copy of The Exploding Mess, you can download the PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lHY-cN1ZzsznW5ceu6n0bbIK6cGvrpxX/viewCopyright 2019 Gareth A Hopk...

Rejoined by Douglas Noble and we talk about all sorts of stuff, including the fact that Douglas can only tell the Alpha Flight team apart if they're wearing different clothes to each other, which in this they're mostly not.Alpha Pod Flight, Copyright 2019 Gareth A HopkinsAlpha Flight cover image borrowed from marvel.wikia.comAlpha Flight and all related characters are copyright Marvel or Disney.

Ken Reynolds is back for the NO EDITING PODCAST SPECIAL except there was editing because the connectino kept cutting out. We talk about Alpha Flight Number 2, discuss whether it was rushed because Byrne was busy, whether Puck is Alpha Flight's mascot (of course he's not, FFS Ken) and if Jim Hudson is more of an Iron Man or more of a Captain America.Alpha Pod Flight, Copyright 2019 Gareth A HopkinsAlpha Flight cover image borrowed f...

In a surprise move, I've actually got another podcast ready, and this time it's me and the boss of Facebook Alpha Flight fans, Justin Mohareb, talking about the last ever issue of Cryster, The Crystal Warrior which for some reason has three members of Alpha Flight in (but not the same three as there are on the comic'c cover).Alpha Pod Flight, Copyright 2019 Gareth A HopkinsAlpha Flight cover image borrowed from marvel.wikia.comAlph...

Me and Martha talk about How The Grinch Stole Christmas, first the book and then the movie. FWIW I wasn't *that* keen on the movie, but so as not to spoil it for Martha I kept most of my stupid opinions to myself.Alpha Pod Flight, Copyright 2018 Gareth A HopkinsAlpha Flight cover image borrowed from marvel.wikia.comAlpha Flight and all related characters are copyright Marvel or Disney.

So Bill, who's a previous guest and also my son, said he'd like to come back on the podcast, and review a comic. That was before I said he could play Fortnite, though.

"it's been a minute" as some of the Americans say, which actually means "it's been a long time", belieive it or not. By which I mean: this is the first alpha Pod Flight for a few weeks, and it's not being released on Official Alpha Pod Flight Tuesday, but half way through Unofficial Alpha Pod Flight Friday.

Yeah, so I let James back on. We talked about X-Men And Alpha Flight 1, and how even though there's a lot of pages, and a lot of STUFF, there's not a lot happening. We also talked about how creepy Professor X is, how much of an Anakin Rachel Summers is, and marvel at Cyclops eyes.I also get some links totally wrong, but... well, look, let me know if you care. Nobody follows links from episode descriptions, we know that.Alpha Pod Fl...

Yeah, so a little while ago Dave Cambrian (@thehorseman) went to Fan Expo Canada. He went to John Byrne's panel, and recorded it on his iPhone. Then he sent the recordings to me, and then a few weeks later I recorded an introduction in a car park, and made it available here.I don't own the copyright to these recordings, and all that. Shared as a fan, not as anything more special than that.

We recorded this one a little while ago, and I don't really remember the conversation very well, but we all know Sean is the absolute best when it comes to stuff like this so it'll be a good, strong, informative episode.
