54 - Alpha Flight #13-18

We're flying back up north this week, and visiting our favorite Canadian Super Team, Alpha Flight! But it's not all fun and games, as we work through pain, loss, and a pile of scrambled eggs. This is where Alpha Flight realllly gets good, so tune in!TOPICS DISCUSSED:Pee-wee Herman. John Byrne, fashionista. Bing-bonging Namor. Ursula K Leguin. Solemn, respectful silence, except for the screeching owl. Smart Alec’s disturbing fate. Pierre Trudeau’s resignation. Snowbird is 6 years old. Not a good-time scream. Saving the stroller. All vampires are dead. Draw us a toilet. Elizabeth Twoyoungmen is here! Douglas Thompson returns. Like a moth between the stubby fingers of a small boy. FISH SHIP. Madison Jeffries is here! We’re not canceling Puck. Jeff VanderMeer. “Dialogue.” Wolverine! What the FUCK Walter. Big year. Chekhov’s scrambled eggs. Good issue. You’re in a team book dude.TIMESTAMPS:0:45 - Hello and Pee-wee Herman impressions2:29 - Alpha Flight recap and initial thoughts11:53 - Pat’s Email Corner22:08 - X-Men-related things we’ve done this week25:33 - Alpha Flight 13 - “Nightmare”38:58 - Alpha Flight 14 - “Biology Class”57:19 - Alpha Flight 15 - “Blind Date”1:12:22 - Alpha Flight 16 - “…and Forsaking All Others…”1:26:24 - Alpha Flight 17 - “Dreams Die Hard…”1:39:35 - Alpha Flight 18 - “How Long Will A Man Lie In The Earth ‘Ere He Rot?”2:00:00 - Final Thoughts2:05:10 - Pat’s Steals ‘n’ Deals2:09:55 - SignoffsJoin our Patreon!
