Hero number 57 who saves birds from electrical wiring and cures cancer and who has never even looked at a woman wrong: Hello significantly younger female character of which I hold no strong feelings towards and have mentioned multiple times that I see as a family-adjacent individual due to the familial nature of our relationship.

Comic book writer about to destroy 50 years of character work because they got hard at the idea of kissing a 16 year old:

When an earthquake shakes the coastal city of Redwood Bay, strange things start to happen.

The year is 1891. Husband and wife team Noah and Kaydia Hart are eager to uncover the truth behind The Deep Ones, an ancient civilization that lived beneath the coastal waters of Redwood Bay. They may be hot on the trail, but are they prepared for the grisly cost of this knowledge?

I don't know if I'd ever go so far as to say John Byrne is my least favourite writer. No, no. He's probably better than many. Like Frank Miller, for example. Byrne is better than Alan Moore and Frank Miller as a writer. At least John Byrne has some stories I can appreciate. And I do like John Byrne's artwork. But I still don't like a lot of his stories. It's personal taste, and I don't really blame him for me fully disliking it. But I still don't love the ideas of Galactus on trial, or Alicia leaving Ben to date Johnny Storm, or Frankie Raye as Galactus' Herald. I just don't think I could ever make myself feel excited by those storylines. I don't like them. I'm sorry, but I don't.

And I don't love John Byrne's Superman, which I've mentioned before. I don't like the stuff I've heard, and that's just more of my personal taste. I think I'd prefer it to Frank Miller and Jim Starlin on Batman, but that's only because I despise Miller and Starlin. Byrne at least doesn't seem like he enjoyed writing purposefully edgy and dark stories, which makes him slightly better then a lot of 80s guys. Steve Gerber still feels like a guy I would've loved to have seen try out Superman, though. He's the only comic writer who I actually kind of enjoy seeing get philosophical. I know Gerber was a predecessor to people like Frank Miller and Alan Moore, but he's still infinitely superior to them.

But yeah, I don't hate John Byrne. I might dislike some of his personal politics and his writing, but I think his art is okay and some of his stories are probably better than most other 80s stuff. I won't stop dragging Frank Miller and Alan Moore and the people like them through the mud, though. They're the worst guys ever. Alan Moore actually seems like he has good opinions, but his stories? They're trash that I will never even dare to read. And I will not retract that statement.

If there is one thing that frustrates me about volume four of Alpha Flight Four of Alpha Flight (there's lot) it's probably this scene:

Because there's no way Jean-Paul wouldn't heard the ping because based on previous issues we know that the ping comes from the little device Mac had implanted in everyone's skulls:

And that at the end of Marvel Fanfare #28 Northstar got his removed:

Is this a stupid thing to complain about? Yes. With all of this comic's faults this is the most nitpicky thing I could come up with.

However I think this scene expelifies a trend I noticed with more recent Alpha Flight runs that the writers don't actually read the previous material.

Another example a scene in True North, where Mac makes a reference to the Outcasts. Despite the fact that he would not know who those guys are because he was dead when Alpha Flight thought them.

I don't really know where I'm going with this tangent other than I kind of wish that the writers would just read past #12 of Alpha Flight.
