Marvel Select #21
"La mission" delivers a sharp, tightly wound chapter in Alpha Flight’s ongoing struggle, with Steven T. Seagle’s writing and Anthony Winn’s expressive art bringing intensity to a mission that spirals into the unknown. When Heather is drawn into a conspiracy within her own ranks, the team is thrust into the microverse—where they encounter the tyrannical Baron Zebek and the enigmatic Micronauts—while a hidden threat looms in the Prometheus Pit. Mark Bagley and Scott Hanna’s cover captures the moment the team crosses into the unseen, setting the stage for a journey that’s as much about trust as it is about survival.
