"All My Life I Wanted To Be a Supervillain"

Episode 43: “All My Life I Wanted To Be a Supervillain”We cover two issues this week and, holy hell, we have…a GOOD TIME?!?! Two very different issues focusing on two of our least explored AF members (Kara and Madison) by both Bill Mantlo and the writer soon to replace him, James Hudnall. And while the Kara/Bill issue leans (effectively) into horror, the Madison/Hudnall is almost a slapstick adventure. And they both work!!! Feels like Christmas came early.In this episode, Chris:has an incredible time with the Technomancer: maybe his favorite villain to dateis thrilled to be back on Laurier Drivereminds us that corporate ownership of culture rarely goes welland Tom:absolutely digs the Kara issue: everything about it works for himponders just how damn powerful both Kara and Madison really areis convinced Heather is about to put Box on ice (it really wouldn’t be that surprising, would it?)Issues covered:Alpha Flight #62 - “A Real Gone Daddy!” - cover date September 1988Writer is Bill MantloPenciler is Jim LeeInker is Al MilgromLetterer is Janice ChiangColorist is Bob SharenEditor is Carl PottsAssociate Editor is Marc McLaurinand Tom DeFalco is credited as Two Fisted ChieftanAlpha Flight #63 - “Technomancer” - cover date October 1988Writer is James HudnallPenciler is Hugh HaynesInkers are Mike Gustovich and Don HudsonLetterer is Janice ChiangColorist is Bob SharenEditor is Carl Pottsand Tom Defalco is Hoo Hah in ChiefWhy Not?!
