When the Alpha Flight member Snowbird was born, because she was half magic, Shaman had to tether her soul to the Earth in order for her to take physical form. But he hosed up, and tethered her soul specifically to Canada. So if Snowbird ever steps outside the Canadian border, she will die.

Why do you guys hate Alpha Flight? I'm only a dozen issues in, and I kinda love it. It's just so goofy. Between Alpha Flight and Letterkenny, I think I'm becoming a weeaboo but for Canada instead of Japan

Byrne's run is actually pretty solid, aside from Byrneisms like his :airquote:subtle:airquote: signalling that Northstar is gay. After he leaves it pretty much falls apart, and Bill Mantlo's run is absolutely the worst thing he ever wrote, saying that as a fan btw. It's worth looking at for the Mike Mignola art though.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

So theoretically, couldn't Canada get around that by declaring her to be a walking embassy and that any physical space currently occupied by Snowbird is Canadian sovereign territory? I feel like an issue of She-Hulk could have fun with that.

Yo, does anyone have any those plastic Green Lantern rings they were giving out a couple years ago laying around? My kids and I have been playing Green Lantern lately and I wanna get us rings of our own, but they are going for like 7 bucks each on Amazon. I'm down to pay shipping and a few bucks for the rings, but not 7 + 6 shipping that it'll be there.

I made a Green Lantern battery using the instructions here for my niece. She wasn't too impressed but your son might be. It was quite easy to make and I didn't really use everything recommended.

I think I might have some extra Legion flight rings too, they were a Heroclix object but made inexplicably as full-size wearable rings, so I got two, one for the game and one to wear. And then I inherited the leftover stuff when that venue folded and I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of Legion rings.

Flight rings were a pack in way back in the original DC Direct LOSH figures. They later released an updated version for some convention special and then when the LOSH series that debuted after Johns "Superman and the Legion" arc they made them available in bags of 50. I think we still have a handful of those at the store.
