Alpha Flight #71

"Power Plays" marks a pivotal moment for Alpha Flight as the team reunites under new leadership in Edmonton, only to face a growing mystical threat. With the Dreamqueen's defeat behind them, some members choose to walk away, while Talisman warns Heather that Canada stands at the center of an emerging darkness. Meanwhile, eco-activist Dexter Raynes stumbles upon an ancient statue—and makes a horrifying choice to gain its power. Written by James D. Hudnall and illustrated by John Calimee, with inks by Mike Manley, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Janice Chiang, this 1989 issue features a cover by John Calimee.
