We are solidly in the Mantlo era as the team gets a new headquarters, an old opponent, and a crumbly ally! Also: body horror!

The cadets are on trial and you'll never guess who their defense lawyer is! Plus, parents day at the academy with some very iffy parents!!!

We say "bye bye" to Byrne and "hello" to the Hulk (and new writer Bill Mantlo!) as we cover Alpha Flight issues 26 through 29 and Incredible Hulk 313! These issues work together as a big arc that clears the path for Mantlo to start innovating in the title. Join us as we end one chapter of Alpha Flight's history and begin another!

Our recruits go to the only planet that carries a Federation death sentence! But first, they deal with a bratty teen and a changeling. How will our cadets fare? Tune in to find out!

Some else dies!??!!? Surprise, don't get too attached to anyone in Alpha Flight as we bid goodbye to another beloved member.

For real, a team member dies in these issues and we would say you wouldn't expect it, but we hardly know these people! Other topics include a new person with a drug addiction, a tiny black hole, and our first letters pages!

We take a trip to the west coast to check out some prospective new headquarters for the team, then find ourselves at a troubled circus! There's a ton of Alpha Flight action and a complicated back story for a villain who doesn't make it out of issue 21!

We kick off our brand new season by beginning a brand new Star Trek series- Starfleet Academy! We meet a bunch of new characters (along with one familiar one!) as they begin their careers training to be a part of Starfleet!

What happens when flashback month coincides with Marvel wanting to start a new volume of Alpha Flight? Why, Alpha Flight Minus 1! Join us as we discuss the retcons present in this issue, as well as update you all on what we've been up to and what to expect for next season!

The Marvel Deep Space Nine series closes out with two standalone issues- one all about tribbles and Klingons, the other about Garak!
