In the last issue of Alpha Flight (which I will comment more on later), at the very end Bochs (owner of BOX) was searching 'other dimensions' for a suitable, but mindless, body to pout the sentience of Langowski into. (Bochs reasoned that since that is where Sasquatch's body came from there must be others there also.) He found one, and in one panel it is depicted in shadowly outline. Guess who it looked like? Yes indeedy, the HULK. Also, in the latest HULK issue, wherein Banner is 'reborn', a mysterious locator beam is caused to locate Banner by the Beyonder's intereference. (To 'help' him, so the compassionate Beyonder says.) I really hope this does not happen, or if so that they do not share consciousnesses as with DC's Firestorm. Now for my flame: I really disliked the recent Alpha Flight - Omega Flight series. They have some really interesting characters in these bad guys but are doing nothing to develop them. I am glad that MacDonald is not back from the dead since I opt for some semblance of realism in the comics. I felt that having them essentially defeated by Shamnan's bag was a cop-out. How some good-old teamwork or quick thinking? Maybe a character change or something similar (such as Diamond Lil being not all THAT bad, and falling for Puck and becomming one of the good guys? - Aw cmon!). Also the latest Hulk was a waste. I have followed Hulk since the early 60's (when it had a different name and the Hulk was grey, not green), and have seen the origin story umpteen mission times. Having the 'crazy sick father' added a little to the story but not much. The only positive think I saw in it was the compassion of the Beyonder at the end. Which optimisticlly says something positive about the character of omnisciently- powerful beings.
