Summer Spectacular 2025!!!

Happy summer, folks! We pulled together something akin to a double-sized issue: we dig into Alpha Flight Annual #1 (which might be both of our favorite single issue) and have a conversation with Professor Joseph A. Stramondo on disability, ableism, and the word “cripple”. It’s a fascinating conversation and one we’re sure you’re going to enjoy.In this episode, Chris:creates the AI that will kill us allmakes an unexpected musical referencewonders who even designed Mansion Alphaand Tom:pulls off a perfect terrible Skeletorinvokes the rule of coolfinds himself, sort of?, missing Walt; at least as a foil to PuckIssue discussed:Alpha Flight Annual #1 - “Homebody” - cover date May 1986Script by Bill MantloLayouts by Larry StromanFinished by Gerry TalaocLetters by Janice ChiangColors by Bob SharenEditing by Carl PottsEditor in Chiefing by Jim ShooterWhy Not Read Alpha Flight is brought to you by the Excelsior Embroidery Company, part of the Roxxon Energy Corporation family.   Listeners of Why Not?! can go to excelsiorembroidery.etsy.com and use the code WHYNOT20 to get 20% off any 2 items in the Etsy store and a free Alpha Flight patch.  When company’s coming over, bring out the good towels.
