AIPT - Lukas Shayo
Sep 20, 2023Alpha Flight#2 is a brilliant return to a complicated narrative. Its focus on the marginalized mutants helps to set it apart from the rest of the line, but its themes tie it directly to the Fall of X. Even with limited space, every character gets a moment to shine. With conflicts continuing to build, this book is standing out as one of the best that theX-Menbooks have to offer. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2023Alpha Flight #2 feels the most like a Hellfire Gala aftermath book by creating tension through urgency as the team races to secretly evacuate mutants from Canada (and Earth) before they're caught. Equal parts superhero comic and wartime thriller, this series is surprisingly captivating. Read Full Review

Sep 22, 2023Alphas back, and better than ever. Despite the long history of shady deeds done by the Canadian government, and their own superhuman resources, the team shows what they really are. If youre sleeping on this book, its time to wake up. Read Full Review

Oct 04, 2023The second round of Alpha Flight works pretty well as it's trying to juggle a lot of things and handling it better than I expected. I still avoid most of the mutant books for a lot of reasons but this one is adjacent enough in a way that works without becoming too involved in all the complications there. Brisson has a lot of small things going here and hopefully each of the subplots get enough attention so that they work. Albert is the main catalyst for things at the moment but I enjoy watching how the Alpha Flight team itself is secretly split and working to help as many mutants as possible. It's a fun way to run things with the tension of wondering when they'll be found out. Read Full Review

Sep 24, 2023The art is good and the characters all look like the Alpha Flight we love with some nice fights and dynamic moments. Still, the comic feels like it's playing it a bit safe instead of pushing the underlying concepts and themes of Fall of X. Read Full Review

Sep 20, 2023Things definitely take an unexpected turn in the issue which is enough to keep the interest and story moving forward. It's a decent issue, though the pacing does make one wonder if this story might be better suited for a collection rather than an issue by issue story. Read Full Review

I liked this one more than the previous issue, as this just reached the 8/10 mark for me. For whatever reason, I just found the story a bit more interesting and more well-written this time around. Godlewski's art continues to be nice as well. I hope the quality of this series continues to go up or, at least, stay the same as it is currently.

It's slow and there's a LOT of exposition going on. Beyond that, though, there's nothing wrong with this story. In fact, you can frame those potential negatives as positives: This is scrupulously clear--more so than many contemporary Marvel comics. The art makes a good match for the script; "clarity" is the watchword when it comes to the visuals, too.
