 “THE GOVERNMENT ” 
 15 years from now…..amongst the wreckage of Parliament Hill, a resilient Alpha Flight stands prepared to face off against a shadowed beast that has tormented the country for the last decade.

They stand alone against this threat. But…..today is not that day! No, in the present, Canada’s premier superhero squadron have far more pressing things on their mind…like being handed the keys to Department H, the nation’s scientific-supernatural-extraordinary crimes division! Hold on to your toques as two fan favourite creators kick off the story of Vindicator, Guardian, Sasquatch, Marrina, Puck, Snowbird and Shaman, who’ll learn that the pitfalls of bureaucracy can be just as dangerous as any supervillain!

 “GET ZAPATA”
 Whoa! Lots has changed since we last spoke, eh? Where were we before the big “Crisis of the CBR Forums” event? Oh yeah, yours truly just became a small business owner. Move over Blackwater, there’s new hotness in the private security sector and its name is Force Works! With the trademark acquired because U.S. Agent forgot to register it, I’m taking applications! It’s just me and the Zapata Brothers for now, safeguarding the world (or at least certain parties that live in the world) for modest fees! What could possibly go wrong?
 So yeah, things go completely wrong. But prior to getting into all that, let me drop some knowledge! Did you know that certain plants, when smoked or ingested, can have radical, mind-altering effects on otherwise normal, law-abiding citizens? Oh yeah! They can totally turn you into a criminal overnight! And nobody knows this better than Blackheath, the photosynthesizin’ Plantman! Every bad guy on AOM’s available character list is out to get the not-so-jolly green man for what he can grow, but Force Works won’t let that happen! The first contender: a jacked red alien calling himself Axeman Bone! While that’s a wicked name for either a lead guitarist or a male pornstar, I can’t have him jeopardizing my profit margins! The team and I engage, and everything’s going heroically until I suffer the greatest betrayal I’ve ever experienced: The Zapatas turn on me! I CAN’T EVEN! What would Mil Máscaras think? 
 So now I’m down and out. Who can I call upon to in my hour of need? Axeman is a Hulk-level powerhouse, so how about my old frenemy Cain Marko – the Unstoppable Juggernaut! And to take out the mexi-mercs, here comes the gun-slingin’ simian, Hit-Monkey, and the intangible, ectoplasmic (at least I hope that’s ectoplasm) hacktivist, Ghost! Force Works is back, baby!
 Every issue comes with a one-size-fits-most replica Zapata Brother Luchador Mask… complete with actual bullet holes!

 "GRADUATION DAY"
•Jimmy Hudson was a fairly typical high school senior from the outside. A bit quiet. Kept to himself. Didn't exert himself in sports or even academics for that matter. His classmates thought of him as a loner. Always had those headphones on and his head down. Until that fateful day in the cafeteria. "The fight." He'd had enough. A group of bullies had picked on the strange looking girl, aka Mary the Mutie, all year. This time they took it too far. Can you say Berzerker Mode!?! Made the news. Got him expelled. Sent the bullies to ICU. They lived.
•His future left uncertain. His parents always treated him fair, but never truly understood his...uniqueness. How could they? They are so...normal. And he is so different.
•Then an old man with an eye patch and a cigar came to the house. He brought along someone who did understand him. The lady in purple looked right into his mind and calmed his uncertainty, his anger, told him it was okay, that he wasn't alone in the world anymore. The old man had a job offer. They were going to help people like him. And that he had just the kind of skills needed for the job.
•Now Jimmy Hudson has purpose. So begins the journey to unlock his potential and discover just what he is, who he is. The mission begins. Welcome to X-S.C.A.P.E., Agent Hudson.
•Next Month: Get initiated into the program and meet the full team in X-S.C.A.P.E. #1

 "FORTHCOMING" 
 S.H.I.E.L.D. Base Perception Tower - Project C.A.B.L.E. Update #3492 - Forge has completed the dome but Madam Webb and her allies still refuse to participate. However, we have located a willing telepath/precog whose real identity will only be accessible to Level 40 agents and above. For now, she goes by the codename Blindfold. Initial test runs of the dome with Blindfold have identified several possible agents whose profiles and potential have been filed for possible future incursions. Two targets are to be approached by the support team with the possibility of taking the project to a live status. The selections, however, are not without controversy. We request the recruitment of Special Division officer Bishop who we believe to already have extensive knowledge of the project requirements. We also request the release of prisoner #00000. We are aware that knowledge and information of the detainee has been kept purely to the Commander in Chief and the Security Council, but Blindfold and the Dome identified him almost immediately. We must request the Winter Soldier for the project.
