I wasn't going to go this year, but now I am.
Sweet cover!
Please bring my favourite team back!
Even an Alpha Flight Forever mini-series would be something to quench our desires!
Hey, that is a SWEEEEEET lookin' cover. However...I'd bet money that we haven't officially heard that AF will be appearing in this issue. As it says, it is a special Canadian cover.
Just a guess, but perhaps the Avengers are asked to patrol Canada as well, since there is no AF?
Again, unti,l I hear more...it is a sweet cover, but somehow I have my doubts that the original AF is back and appearing in this issue. Wait and see time...

I'm just hoping that this ties into a possible big announcement for us Canucks, a new series or mini.
WANT. That cover is frakking awesome. Must have. Maybe I'll go to Toronto just to get it.
Love the cover! Just wish I lived in Toronto instead of Alberta.....wtf did I just say?

Wash your mouth out with soap! Or soup. Whichever tastes better (I've had some pretty horrible soups in my day...).

Couple of thoughts on the cover...
Sasquatch looks great!
Aurora is in a classic outfit. Heather is not in a costume - she looks circa issue 14 of volume 1 - makes me think this may be a flashback issue. Talisman is in her "less skimpy" costume, from the looks of things.
Not sure what that green, crackling glowing thing is in front of Sasquatch...
Also not sure what that thing is on Guardian's costume, but I know it is NOT a Maple Leaf! FAR from it!

and the cover was done by Phil Jimenez. Hmmm...
that is the best i've seen them look since byrne drew them. i'm trying to connect the dots on the rumors out there.
1) jimenez is the artist linked to a possible relaunch. he tweeted that he is drawing characters that he loves. then this comes out, but he tweeted that tuesday, this is older than tuesday.
2) the cover says avengers, fred van lente let the cat out of the bag that he's writing a new avengers series.
hmmm......
i may be reaching, but i hope theres at least a sliver of truth in there.
Van Lente tweeted a few days ago that the Avengers he is writing has all of its members that have been Avengers before.
"How do you know that my dimwitted inexperience isnt merely a subtle form of manipulation used to lower peoples expectations, enhancing my ability to effectively maneuver within any given situation."
Oh my gosh, GORGEOUS cover. I doubt the issue itself ties itself into Alpha's latest rumored comeback, but I don't even care, that is FANTASTIC looking. Classic (and best) looks for the lot of them, but not necessarily the #1 iconic looks that everyone immediately thinks of, you can really tell Jimenez is a fan of the team.
Lovely cover...The green energy appears to be coming from Elizabeth (or her hands, anyway).

ALPHA FLIGHT IS RESURRECTED, LONG LIVE ALPHA FLIGHT!
Good catch! Ugh, I want a bigger version so badly. XD Check out the subtle glow on Aurora!
Based on the solicitation for Avengers #4, there is a slight possibility that the Flight may appear in the issue (The timestream is broken...), though I'm thinking it is just an exclusive cover for a Canadian comic show.
"The blockbuster Marvel comic of the year continues!! The timestream is broken and with that the Marvel Universe has fallen into utter chaos. Can the Avengers defeat Kang and even if they do, is it too late? Guest-starring EVERYONE!! Plus! Another startling chapter in the untold oral history of the Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis...! "
On another note, if it is going to be a series, someone has got to get Phil some proper reference materials when it comes to drawing Vindicator/Guardian (Mac). That attempt at a Maple Leaf is just poor / lazy.
That solicit reminds me of the Avengers Forever storyline - in which Sasquatch and Northstar appeared as Avengers from some unspecified timeline.
Love,
