Writer James D. Hudnall continues his masterful run in these ten issues. He pushes, pulls, and prods Alpha through their paces, heaping perils on them, molding them into his team. JDH varies the pace from slow to fast as needed, developing characters amidst the non-stop action. Llan the Sorcerer move sin to take over the Earth (starting with Canada), the Master of the World lives, a visit to the Dreamqueen's realm, battles with major-league Marvel heroes and villains, Heather and Elizabeth battle for apparent control of AF, Puck returns in heroic fashion, Shaman is seriously injured, Madison falls for ex-girlfriend Lillian Crawley, a new headquarters in Edmonton, Diamond Lil joins the team, Gamma Flight is re-birthed, and evil and danger abound! Best of all, I get glimpses of my fave Alpha Flighter, Wild Child! All this...but the artwork still sucks.

Particularly strong comics overall are issues 71-76 and 78.

All in all, on a scale of 300, these ten issues scored 253.
This is an average of 25.3/30 for each of these ten comics.
Percentage score is 84.3%.
Letter grade for these ten comics = B

I hope you enjoyed my review of these comics.
