One of Byrne's finest efforts, it was still a bit like X-Men light. He didn't really stretch the boundaries of what he had once collaborated upon in the X-Men, but his art was as great as ever and he was given the chance to write for the first time.

One of my favorite comic book series.
John Byrne treated Alpha Flight as a loose ensemble rather than a traditional super hero team with a headquarters and weekly meetings.
Most of the stories feature a hero in solo action or just a couple of them teaming up. The full team only got together when there's a big emergency, and with the loose format getting the whole team together felt like a big deal.

He also did a nice job of mixing some older, established marvel villains in More...

I read part of the early Alpha Flight, as I got my hands on danish translations as a child. I look forward to go all the way back to the start, and reread the stories.

Byrne was at the top of his form at this point in his career. His runs on The Fantastic Four and Alpha Flight are of the same caliber as Walt Simonson's (now classic) run on Thor and Frank Miller's (now classic) run on Daredevil. This is comic book story telling at it's finest. Solid characterization, fast paces stories, interesting villains and a healty slice of humor. You can't go wrong.
