In "Counter Moves," Alpha Flight finds themselves caught between two fronts as U.S. villains defect to Canada, sparking a high-stakes clash. With tensions escalating, Omega Flight arrives on the scene, claiming authority under a Canadian order to disband—leaving the Alphans facing a new kind of enemy: their own government's mandate. Written by James D. Hudnall and brought to life by John Calimee’s dynamic art and Mike Manley’s inks, this 1990 issue delivers a tense, pivotal moment for the team. The cover by Calimee and Manley captures the intensity of the confrontation.
