It cracks me up that Guardian is pissed at a "cancellation". Now I am actually far from a Marvel Comics fan. In fact, if they didn't publish Alpha Flight (on occasion) I wouldn't buy any of their material.
However, I give them a bit of a pass on the "cancellation" thing. I know a lot of fans were annoyed by that, but going back a little further in time, the last Alpha Flight series was actually originally announced as a mini anyway. It got extended to an ongoing, then Marvel changed those plans.
When the book was first announced as a mini, Alpha Flight fans were happy at the news. When it went from an ongoing to a mini, fans were irritated. But the end results was the same. Really, Marvel would have benefited from not making a decision on the length of the series until a few issues had been released.
In any event, with Puck in X-Factor and Northstar in the X-Men, at the moment I'd be perfectly happy with a mini-series that featured Guardian. Even if it was extended, then returned to its original mini-series status.
