Round up all the mutants and send them to Mars. That's what the Canadian government wants to do. But Alpha Flight--the government's officially sanctioned mutant superteam--has a better idea. Instead of imprisoning them in internment camps and plopping them down amid Arakko's civil war, they want to operate a Shi'ar underground railroad. Doing so will mean getting around Department H director Erika Doiron and her towering Iron Man Sentinels.

Alpha Flight #2 boasts colorful characters, heartfelt drama, and one mutant's poignant letter home. It's a beautifully drawn and colored comic that continues the Fall Of X story. The issue boasts a lot of mutant-tiny dialogue and supplementary material, making it a substantial read. I didn't quite understand the surprise ending, but it features an explosive confrontation between Erika's Box Sentinels and a mutant in Bend, Oregon.
