“If t First You Don't Succeed...”

In "If First You Don't Succeed...", Alpha Flight faces a chilling test of loyalty when Guardian returns from the dead—only to find his former teammates wary of his resurrection. When Omega Flight hijacks a mall, the team rushes in, only to be overwhelmed, leading to a shocking confrontation where Heather is forced to face the truth: the Guardian standing before her is not her lost husband Mac, but the malevolent robot Delphine Courtney. Written and illustrated by John Byrne, with inks by Bob Wiacek, colors by Andy Yanchus, and letters by Rick Parker, this 1985 issue features a cover by Byrne and Wiacek, blending personal stakes with high-stakes action.
