Alpha Flight #99

Puck helps out fellow Alphans and Avengers as the alien army continue to invade downtown Toronto.

Judd learns that Her had helped overthrow the dictatorship of a distant planet. The Consortium saw that as a breach of contract and held Her responsible. She fled to Earth in search of help to protect the species she freed, but the Consortium followed, and wants Her to surrender.

Problems arise when Vindicator suddenly teleports half of the gathered heroes away…including Her. Judd is left behind with Captain America, Sasquatch, Northstar, Diamond Lil, Black Widow and She-Hulk as the Consortium see this as yet another breach of contract and launch a full scale “take-over” of Earth. 

Notes of Interest:

1) Not much character development here, but it becomes clear that he’s waaaay out of his league because… 

WTF? Moment: …he has a momentary lapse of bladder control? Really? Mister “I ran with the bulls and sat with Hemmingway and had close encounters with mysticism and was a bad-a$$ soldier of fortune before any of these Alpha Flight ‘whipper-snappers’ were born” goes and wets himself? That has to be a joke. To be fair, he has had minimal experience with alien races…except for Marrina…and Her…and may have difficulty grasping existence beyond our solar system. However, he has NO problem dealing with gods, demi-gods, demons, spirits, curses, old friends who come back from the dead, unplanned time travel, planned time travel, talking androids or creatures capable of living underwater.

Can you imagine his response if he was included in the group that found themselves facing Galactus? He may have had a bowel movement.
