	Hey, kiddies, want ta know which Alpha bites the big one? 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).
