    Alpha Pod Flight 45 Issue 24 Eamonn Clarke

    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.

    44 Alpha Pod Flight Alpha Flight Annual Number 1 Anthony Kuchar

    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 The 80s can be found here: http://www.dcinthe80s.com/p/home-page.html

    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

    43 Alpha Pod Flight Immortal Hulk with Matt Finch

    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 borrowed from marvel.wikia.comAlpha Flight and all related characters are copyright Marvel or Disney.
