Who's hungry?

Today our pre-fight Dinner Party truly commences... with all sorts of Otherworldly "delicacies" (if you enjoy eating beetles and unicorn meat, that is). We also get to watch as our Arraki opponents continue to grow their newfound characters. It's wonderful that they're finally giving us a reason to care about these upcoming bouts!

A great issue, packed with drama and comedy - and gives us plenty of interesting "food" for thought.

All that and we got some X-Cellent Mailbag!

From Claremont to Claremont, Episode 1g - Alpha Flight #101 (1991)

From Claremont to Claremont: An X-Men Podcast

Episode 1G

Alpha Flight #101 (October, 1991)

"Death and How to Live it"

Writer - Fabian Nicieza

Pencils - Tom Morgan

Inks - Chris Ivy

Letters - Janice Chiang

Colors - Bob Sharen

Edits - Bobbie Chase

Chief - DeFalco

Cover Price: $1.50

Sooo... is Alpha Flight an X-Book? Well, if you ask my pal Sean (@Sean42AZ) and I, yeah - it totally is!

If only we had a better issue to bring you to kick off our coverage... because, friends - this is a weird, uneven... and mostly "deck-clearing" endeavor to make way for next creative team! We've got a Doctor Strange guest-appearance, lotsa "potty faces" and a highlight in the form of a Diamond Lil subplot being paid off.

Also: Sean shares with us his life and times as a comics and X-Fan - and sits in to rundown the October, 1991 Cool-O-Meter! It's a great time, and I'm looking forward to more! I hope you are as well.
