Danny: Funny that the issue with the semitruck on the cover has the least amount of the Liberty Belle in the actual book.

Danny:As such, the plot jumps back and forth between the book's present with the sons and the past with the fathers, which is a great idea because it gives us time battles (?) instead of forcing us to wait through time pilot school along with the cadets.

Danny: Exactly -- in addition to being a fairly common trope (The botched training simulation! "You think this is a game, son?!") we learn along with these characters what kind of weapons the time pilots are working with.

I mean, to a casual reader this would just be "Alpha Flight fights some fish man," not "Alpha Flight fights one of the Worthy that serve the Serpent, who is the actual All-Father which only matters if you know what Thor is."
