- Longtime Marvel writer Bill Mantlo teamed with rising star Jim Lee on a storied and never-before-collected run with Alpha Flight, Canada's premier super-team! Alpha Flight has a new home: Mansion Alpha! From this technologically advanced base, the team protects its nation from threats like Scramble, Deadly Ernest and the Great Beasts! Heather Hudson suits up as the new Vindicator and seeks out her old friend Wolverine to train her as a super hero! Meanwhile, Attuma pursues former Alphan Marrina, and it will take the combined forces of Alpha Flight and the Avengers to save her - if she even wants to be saved! The persuasive Purple Girl joins Beta Flight, the trickster god Loki makes for a legendary opponent and Bedlam causes carnage for Department H! Even if the team can defeat this powerful foe from James Hudson's past, it won't be without a terrible cost - and a dimension-hopping adventure may lead to the end of Alpha Flight as we know it!

- About The Author
- Bill Mantlo began his Marvel career on Deadly Hands of Kung Fu, in which he introduced White Tiger, one of the industry's earliest Hispanic super heroes. Eventually writing stories for almost every Marvel title, he did some of his most fondly remembered work on Incredible Hulk and Spectacular Spider-Man. He also created Rocket Raccoon, launched Cloak & Dagger in a pair of miniseries and guided Alpha Flight through some of its most harrowing ordeals. Mantlo excelled at integrating licensed properties into the Marvel Universe, as demonstrated by Micronauts and Rom, both of which he wrote from start to finish. At DC, he wrote the Invasion miniseries for one of the company's biggest crossover events. Jim Lee is perhaps today's hottest comic-book artist. Since the late '80s, his work for Marvel, DC and Image - the company he helped found - has set trends that survive to this day. After honing his skills with memorable runs on Alpha Flight and Punisher War Journal, Lee rose to prominence on Uncanny X-Men. Lee then revamped the mutant team's look and helped launch the second X-Men series, whose first issue remains one of the best-selling comic books of all time. In 1992, he and other artists formed Image Comics. Lee's group of titles, published under the Wildstorm Productions imprint, included the mega-popular WildC.A.T.s, Stormwatch and Gen13. Under Wildstorm's sub-imprint Homage Comics, he published Kurt Busiek's Astro City and Strangers in Paradise, both of which became major fan favorites. Lee returned to Marvel in 1996, relaunching Fantastic Four as part of the "Heroes Reborn" event. Subsequently selling Wildstorm to DC Comics, Lee went on to pencil Batman, Superman and WildC.A.T.s. Later, as DC Comics' co-publisher, he helped revamp and reconceptualize the company's entire lineup.
