Alpha Flight #16

In "And Forsaking All Others...", John Byrne’s sharp storytelling and dynamic art bring together Alpha Flight’s core tensions as Roger Bochs seeks to restore the Box armor, while Wolverine checks in on Heather in the hospital. The issue deepens the team’s personal stakes as the Master of the World captures Puck and Namor, revealing shocking truths about Marrina’s alien origins—leading to a tense escape and a heart-wrenching decision. With Byrne’s pencils and Wiacek’s inks defining the look, and Andy Yanchus’s colors adding depth, this 1984 classic stands out for its emotional weight and bold character moments. Cover by John Byrne.
