To begin, World War Wendigo continues in Amazing X-Men #11 (part four of five) and finally the members of Alpha Flight that are involved get a little cover love, Guardian included.
Something that was a bit more surprising was a mention of Alpha Flight in the solicitation for Deadpool #34.
Argh...I hate Deadpool...DEADPOOL #34

This does beg the question though...Which Alpha Flight's appearance and if so, which Guardian will we see?
We should get some Guardian content. Despite his many absences from the Marvel Universe over the years, odds are pretty good if it's 90's Alpha Flight.
Guardian wasn't around much early in that decade. The android version of the character died (or something) in 1991 but he returned ('cause that's what he does) in the series' final story arc, entitled "No Future" in the summer of 1994.
Team members popped up in other books from time to time until a second volume of Alpha Flight hit shelves in the summer of 1997. And that one looked designed to fit in with what was considered hot at the time.
Now that's the cloned, or de-aged, version of Guardian. "Mac Classic" didn't return until the following year.
But the story of Guardian being cloned, de-aged and shot into space to be later miraculously, randomly found by Sasquatch in the North Pole is so ludicrous that I can't imagine a comedic book like Deadpool avoiding it. And because Alpha Flight resembled the typical 90's book most in that series, I'm guessing that that's the version we'll get.
I may not care for Deadpool, but the book will have my curiosity come September.
