Puck Part 6: Alpha Flight #13 (August, 1984)

Puck helps Heather recover from Mac’s death.

I have this issue.

Heather’s recurring nightmares have Judd concerned, as he and Shaman discuss how her husband’s death has affected her. The three of them go Parliament Hill to find out what the government can do for them, which turns out to be nothing, and Judd ends up going with them to a local fast food establishment to discuss the future of Alpha Flight.

Notes of Interest:
1) It’s obvious by this point that Judd has feelings for Heather, but shows his maturity by waiting patiently for the right time to tell her.

2) Judd confesses that Smart Alec deserves worse than what Shaman has done with him, revealing a somewhat darker side to Judd’s personality.

3) That darker side comes up again at Parliament, when Heather has to keep Judd from hitting Gary Cody.

4) Judd clearly cares about Alpha Flight and its future.

5) Apparently, Judd’s visited the Serengeti in his travels.

WTF? Moment: Judd’s reaction at Parliament bothers me. I can understand his frustration at governmental red tape and his desire for Heather to get just compensation, but his sudden need to hit someone just doesn’t jibe with what we’ve seen from him thus far. Sure he’d discuss, and probably yell, but physical violence? Sounds more like something Walter Langowski or Logan would have done.
