I have this issue.
Marrina is captured by the Collector, and Judd is among the Alphans responding to her distress call. They find her aboard the Collector’s ship, and learn that Marrina is a member of an alien species called the Plodex, which the Collector was gathering throughout the universe. Judd manages to rescue her suspended animation, and helps prevent the other Plodex from escaping.
Notes of Interest:
1) This story obviously takes place after Guardian’s death. Since Judd and Heather start a three-part story with Alpha Flight #13, it makes sense to place this issue here.
2) Judd cares deeply about Alpha Flight, to the point of worrying about Aurora’s split personality, Northstar’s attitude and Sasquatch’s anger.
3) This marks the first story Judd appears in written and drawn by someone other than John Byrne, Louise Simonson and Paul Neary respectively, although Byrne does assist with the cover.
4) Judd meets both Spider-Man and Collector this issue.
5) It should be noted that Judd doesn’t judge. He holds no ill will towards Marrina for what happened in Alpha Flight #2, and doesn’t care that she is a member of an alien race bent on conquering other planets.
WTF? Moment: This is the second time that Judd hitches a ride with Northstar. Get him a plane already! Or a helicopter. Or one of those jet pack things…
