Puck Part 55: Alpha Flight #79 (Mid-December, 1989)


Puck is still recovering from his tortuous time in Dreamqueen’s Liveworld as several American super-villains cross the Canadian border.
I have this issue.
Judd’s appearance in this issue is reduced to a cameo, as he listens to Michael’s phone conversation with Madison and asks to speak with Heather, who is currently on her way to confront Nekra.
Notes of Interest:
1) We are told that something is happening to Judd while he recovers, but we don’t see what it is.
2) It seems very important that he speak to Heather, but we don’t learn why.
WTF? Moment: First of all, I loved the Acts of Vengeance storyline. I thought it was new and cool, and I was actually worried about several of Marvel’s heroes when it came out. It would have been nice to see Judd in action against…oh, I don’t know…anyone…but Hundall still has him in the hospital, most likely because the writer couldn’t come up with an appropriate villain for him to fight.
WTF? Moment #2: Why on earth is it so important for Judd to speak with Heather? Is the plan to recreate yet again the awkward love triangle between Judd, Heather and any other dark haired man who is neither a dwarf nor a father figure?
