"It's crap like that that explains why Byrne is nothing today,"JB, do you ever feel a little like George Lucas? I mean, guys like this must feel that you "raped their childhood" to bother being so bitter, right? •• For "nothing," I sure do stir up a lot of waves! Usually without actually DOING anything!

I'm sure glad you did throw that stone in the pool JB.

A very memorable issue and a great read.
I wonder how the contingent of readers who don't read the narrative captions deal with the snowstorm page?
i really like the arrangement of the panels in the sequence where 'the combatants tumble, as trees crack and boulders roll before them' -- I get a definite sense of things rolling towards me.

I remember thinking how cool that issue was. Very clever way to tell that story.

How many of you are aware that I did, indeed, do layouts -- light and quick -- for those panels? I wanted to be sure the "flow" worked, even if the readers were not going to see it!

SO tired of the "did it to meet a deadline" crap.

I had already stopped buying comics when this came out , so when I got JB's run on Alpha Flight last year I didn't know about all of the "hub-bub" over that issue. I thought that issue was smart and exciting, never once did it enter my mind that it was gimmicky or anything else.

It's particularly galling to be singled out as "gimmicky" in a month that was one big gimmick. This is the inherent danger of gags like this. The farther from the "event," the more difficult to view it in context.

ALPHA FLIGHT is a really wonderful series, and this is the article they write? An unfair representation of an amazing series that hit a lot of high points. And that sequence was one of them -- regardless of the gimmick intent, it still holds up as an cool and unique sequence.

I wasn't sure if I remembered hearing you'd done layouts for those pages, JB, but I've always been certain you knew exactly where Snowbird and Kolomaq were and what action was happening.
