Why is everyone busting on Phil's maple leaf? I think it looks okay (certainly not as bad as Alpha Flight Volume 2's horrible maple leaves) and It's pretty close the style John Byrne first used in X-Men (and most of his Alpha Flight run) for Mac's uniform.

You need to save these two pictures somewhere, and look at them side by side. JB's is pretty dang close to perfect. This new one, looks like a red cannabis leaf or something - not even in the same ballpark.

How would you feel if an artist drew a new uniform for Captain America to wear, and it had the Stars and Stripes prominently displayed on it, only the stripes were all at a 45 degree angle and blurry, and there were only 11 stars? Would that accurately represent the American flag?

Some things you just don't want to mess up as a comic book artist. Three in particular; (1) don't mess up the Maple Leaf, (2) learn how to draw Sasquatch properly or go home, and (3) if the book's writer tells you to draw a panel wherer Alpha Flight is laying dead on the snow, just quit and go home. And that's my take on that. I like the picture, i really do, i just hate the job he did on Mac's costume, that's all; everything else looks great!

I disagree, FP...The only real difference between John Byrne's Guardian maple leaf and the one that Phil drew is that the bottom segment of Phil's leaf in pointing downward diagonally instead of horizontally toward his right side.

There's a slight dig/possible hint over at CBR; http://www.comicbookresources.com/?p...ticle&id=27830



I'm not beyond begging here; if anyone's at the Fan Expo and it's not stupidly hard/expensive to get I'd pay someone for their troubles.
There's no way this'll make it to anywhere in England otherwise...

Not a very positive sounding hint, is it?

[Phil]

Yeah but the way

Y'know, if somebody like Phil were to illustrate it, I bet we might be able to get an Alpha Flight series to sell at that…

is worded sets my senses tingling somewhere....
