I remember this issue. Lobdell's run on Alpha Flight was short, but it was unique because it had an entertaining light-hearted humor that differentiated it from the other writers. If I remember right, all of his issues on this title were done-in-ones. You'd never see that today where everything has to be a 36-issue decompressed epic written for the omnibus. I always thought Lobdell was a solid writer who took a lot of unnecessary criticism simply because he had to follow in the footsteps of Chris Claremont. But I agree with you, I think Lobdell did a great job of keeping the X-Books interesting after Bob Harras kicked Claremont out of the X-Office.
That's why I have a lot of respect for him as a writer. He perservered for the fans in the midst of unrealistic expectations that were heaped upon him by the editors. I wish we saw more of his work nowadays. We need that old school kick ass writing in comics in 2025.
