Ever want to know just what’s going on with Alpha Flight? The first volume has a lot of issues to read and remember, but don’t worry- there’s now a book made just for you! Come join Daryl Richard Lawrence as he launches a giant book all about our favorite Canadian heroes and everything they got up to in their first volume! Daryl, in conversation with Chad Anderson, will cover some highlights from writing the book, give recommendations on the best issues to read, and answer questions from the audience. Books available for purchase immediately before the program in front of the Hellfire Room.
Immediately following the book launch…
First They Came For The Mutants…
Chris Baker and Tom Flynn will explain the history of Canada’s Department H and chart its evolution from a black ops hit squad to a mind-controlling militarized organization rounding up mutants while enforcing the Canadian Super Hero Registration Act.
Never has there been a time when mutant rights are not under some form of threat. From legislation to angry street mobs, mutants must always be on their guard against the curtailing of their rights and even their physical safety. Join the hosts of Why Not?! Read Alpha Flight with Chris and Tom for a deep look into the history of Department H that will highlight the way it has treated mutants, both its own operatives and those it is tasked with taking into custody. Come for the comic book laughs, leave reminded of the importance of real world solidarity and mutual aid networks.
Please note this programming block is from 1-2:30 p.m.
