Most of the guesses so far posted here are wrong (one is right). And, Jeff, remember, it's supposed to be a member of AF, which Heather Hudson isn't --- yet. Issue #39 (15 Jan 84) of AMAZING HEROES, is a special 1984 preview issue in which the staff talks to the writers/artists of all the extant comics to find out what's in store for this year (it's a good issue to have, if you can still get one at your local comics store). I quote from John Byrne's discussion of AF: "In issue #12, during the Omega Flight sequence, on of the members of Alpha flight will be killed, and the other mem- bers will react strongly to this proof that even superheroes can die. "...Issues #14 and #15 will team Aurora up with either Puck or Sasquatch against a new villainess called Gilded Lily..." "Issues #16 and #17 team up Marrina and Shaman, probably with Sasquatch joining them in #17...." "Issue #18 may have another solo story for Puck if he did not appear in the Gilded Lily story,..." "Over 1984 Hudson's wife, Heather `is going to come into a much greater role than she's had until now.'..." That kind of narrows the field down somewhat. The only ones that Byrne didn't specificly mention as appearing in future issues are Northstar, Snowbird, and Guardian. *I* predict that it will be Hudson that will get kicked off, and that Heather will become the new Guardian in order to avenge his death (my, my, how trite). --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC Maynard) UUCP: (decvax!decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian) ARPA: (decwrl!rhea!akov68!boyajian@Shasta)
