In this Christmas themed issue, the men of Alpha are having
a bachelor’s party, while the ladies are having a bachelorette function. All of
this happens on Christmas Eve, because when I’m waiting a lap dance, I always
think of the birth of Christ. Okay, I’m not sure why this book decides to have
these events take a more festive tone, but it doesn’t make for a bad book.
The guys have their hands full when a desperate father makes
the poor choice to rob the only tavern in all of Canada that’s filled to the
brim with super heroes. The ladies go to a Chippendale’s type lounge where an
old villain of Alpha Flight is the establishment’s bouncer. It’s insanity at its
best!
While I’ve not really read much Alpha Flight, if this book
is any indication, I’m hooked! I was very confused about many inside
references, but I could follow the story enough to enjoy it! I also thought the
ending was spectacular and very heartwarming and funny!
This probably isn’t a book you’ll want to hand to your 10
year old based on some subject matter, but its quality stuff for the older set
to enjoy without being crass or gratuitous.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
