All in all, Alpha Flight: True North #1 looks great and reads even better. It's a one-shot that begs the question " where's the ongoing series?! Read Full Review

Probably not a book that leapt out at you when you saw it listed, but one that exceeds expectations, and the best Alpha Flight book for quite some time. Read Full Review

Alpha Flight: True North is telling three stories, and as such, each is segment is different in tone and style. Yet ultimately they all have something in common: a strong emotional core about dealing with the past. They all also succeed in execution and make great use of the shorter format as well.

Alpha Flight: True North #1 is a good introduction for new readers and something new for long-time Alpha Flight fans! Read Full Review

Overall, a good showcase for all the characters involved and a good read. Read Full Review

This sort of special is often an excuse to dust off old characters and move them through relatively generic lesson-of-the-week stories, but this one dove pretty deep into their backstories. It probably works best for long-time readers who like hefty continuity.

It was enjoyable. I am hoping they continue the 3rd story That be the conclusion I would like to see an Alpha Flight monthly comic

This one-shot has a nicely consistent theme; each strip is, in its own way, about heritage and family.

2 out of the 3 stories show that the creative team understands what it is to be heroic AND human, and 1 story that just doesn't get it.
There are many definitions of a hero, but the one pertinent to ALPHA FLIGHT: TRUE NORTH is this one from Webster's New World Dictionary 1988 - "the central main character in a novel, play, poem, etc. with whom the reader or audience is supposed to sympathize."

Using mind-manipulation and brain-washing tactics to convince someone they have been the victim of mind-manipulation and brain-washing tactics makes Mac as scrupulous, ethical, and trustworthy as The Master.
Unfortunately, this travesty goes much deeper: opening up this can of worms and trying to make believe it is something other than what it is should be beneath anyone with any shred of decency and honor. One would hope that MARVEL does not subscribe to the falsehood that if you repeat a lie long enough, people will believe it; if you repeat a lie loud enough, fans will accept it as the truth.

The ugly truth: Alpha Flight Volume 4 #4 shows Heather to be a murderer. It will take a mighty big person to admit that doing this, approving this, green-lighting this...was a huge mistake. And MARVEL should think twice about opening up the same can of worms, over and over again, trying to convince people the worms are something other than what they are.

For the most part, ALPHA FLIGHT: TRUE NORTH shows Alpha Flight as promising. But make no mistake, turning Alpha Flight back (yes, I said "back") into a viable, well-respected team will take the sustained talent, supervision, and skill of writers, artists, inkers, letterers, colorists, and editors who truly believe that Canada's premier superheroes are exactly that. more

Very very average. A missed opportunity.

This was okay. Like Canada. Just okay.

For being a one-shot out of the blue special, Alpha Flight was a big, hot nothingburger. I was hoping for so much more.

The first of the three stories was OK, the other two not so much. If you're going to tell a Puck backstory (which chips away at the fun mystery of the character, so tread lightly when you do it), you'd better tell it well. And the Guardian/Vindicator story...is that supposed to set something up in Marvel continuity? Or are we left with that, twisted as it is? (In fairness, the first story had was better, giving some depth to the Snowbird character and providing space for Talisman to display her skills.)

The art throughout...just not good. Puck looked like he was on a medieval stretching device during the layoff, Snowbird and Marrina's eyes were drawn wrong and the Guardian/Vindicator story leaned way too hard into manga art.

No Shaman or Sasquatch. At all. Despite getting cover space.

This was one of my favorites when Byrne was doing it. I have the entire run, straight off the spinner racks, bagged and boarded to this day. I have the AF/Byrne omnibus. I really like this title. And I'm very disappointed.

Marvel, you can do so much better. more
