#alpha flight

If your a student of Jean-Paul Beaubier’s, never even think about saying that French and French-Canadian is the same. He finds it offense and has written referrals to especially obnoxious students for it.

The first time the Young Avengers and the X-Men meet, Tommy challenges Northstar to a race. Tommy loses miserable but, the two are two peas in a pod, and work together quite well. Most of the Young Avengers and X-Men find it shocking how swimmingly the two could get along, see as how they both seem to fight with everyone else all the time. Kate says it’s an asshole speedster thing, and everyone agrees.

“What do I love most about being here at Marvel? It’s the interesting people you get to work with,” read John Byrne’s text for this illustration that appeared in the September 1983 edition of the Bullpen Bulletins page from the House of Ideas. 

I almost hate posting these small, low-res sketches but they’re still kinda cute yeah? Would’ve taken the time of all four to make one large and pretty ‘cause I’m slow but just don’t have the time.

Some AOA inspiration for Dazz #1. Lil more basic and simple nod to the OG for #2 because I am basic and simple. Northstar co-opted the B&W so old school colors for Shattybuns. Also, some sheer tiddy action because he is his mother’s son.
