I have to agree with all the comments on the colouring, but the title design bothers me just as much.  It's not quite the one used on the original comics; why bother changing it?  Or, for volume 3, why not use the very different title that adorned AF for those issues?  Strange.

On that note, JB, if I may ask, please, were the titles designed by you?  And what led to the decision to change it later in the run?  I always loved the second one - very different to anything that appeared on comics at that time.

I miss JB's ALPHA FLIGHT...

I actually like the recolored covers -- not that I think they're colored that well -- I just like seeing something old done in a new way.  I've still got the old covers to look at.

Of course, as most of you know, I did not name the team "Alpha Flight", either. Wasn't happy with that name, but was pretty much stuck with it.

Embarrassing confession:

I've never read Alpha Flight!

When I discovered JB's work, it was just about the time he was leaving AF. I loved his work and followed him on every title he did after that, for Marvel, DC, and later with Next Men and the rest. When it came to hunting down his older work, I sought out back issues of FF, X-Men, etc, but somehow never got to exploring Alpha Flight, probably because JB's work on those more prominent Marvel characters kept me busy enough. I do own the first issue of AF, which I bought as a back issue years later, but I've never read the rest of the series. Maybe now, with these trades, it's time.
