Writer of The Incredible Hercules, Marvel Zombies, Herc, Power Man and more, Fred Van Lente is one of my favorite modern Marvel comics scribes. A clever and erudite man about funny books, Van Lente's comics are always full to the brim with homages to the Marvel Comics legacy while paving new paths for these characters. He also worked on Cowboys and Aliens, later developed for the big screen by John Favreau.

Having breathed new life into Power Man, Hercules and Alpha Flight, Van Lente was about to embark on a foray of fisticuffs with The Destroyers with Kyle Holtz, a project that was sadly cut short before it even got started.

But what's the end of Alpha Flight going to be like? Find out in this interview that gives a few hints and also some words of adoration for readers.
