Alpha Flight

Marvel’s 2011–2012 Alpha Flight series, written primarily by Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak, reimagines Canada’s premier super-team as a government-sanctioned black-ops squad. With striking art from Ben Oliver, Dale Eaglesham, and Dan Green, the nine-issue run focuses on core members like Jean-Paul Beaubier, Michael Twoyoungmen, and James MacDonald Hudson, as they navigate dangerous new missions and internal tensions. This short-lived but memorable volume stands out for its darker, espionage-driven take on the classic team, blending high-stakes action with the unique dynamics of its iconic roster.
