Alpha Flight #36

Puck finds himself amidst a family matter when he learns Snowbird is pregnant.
 
Judd is woken up in the middle of the night and helps keep Doug Thompson from attacking Shaman, who let Snowbird go so she could feed. Shaman reveals that Snowbird is pregnant, and when she returns she looks almost eight months along. The shock causes Doug to need some time to process the news. Judd follows him, and attempts to comfort Doug by telling him about Snowbird’s origin, explaining the reasoning behind her birth, the connection between her and Shaman, and her later joining Alpha Flight. Unfortunately, it doesn’t help, and when Doug threatens the team while trying to take her to a proper hospital, Judd is there when Shaman and the others convince Doug to let them take her to a newly found place of power where their baby can be born. 
 
Notes of Interest: 
1) It seems that Judd wants things to work out between Doug and Snowbird.
 
2) It also looks like Judd’s been hitting the Alpha files, since he wasn’t around when Shaman delivered Snowbird. 
 
WTF? Moment: This is a small thing, but wasn’t the Omniship last seen destroyed over the woods of upstate New York? I know Jefferies rebuilt it, but couldn’t Mantlo have had someone say that Jefferies rebuilt it?
 
WTF? Moment #2: Mantlo also seems to have altered Judd’s abilities a bit, giving him super speed as well. When Judd is on the dock at the end of the story, he’s shirtless. But when it is decided that they’re going to the place of power, he’s got his costume on. Aurora could have voluntarily flown up, grabbed his outfit and brought it down to him. But how’s he get it on so fast without anyone saying anything?
