I got Alpha Flight #22.😀👍

[@garryjones1846]

The cornerbox has PUCK, who isn't in # 22, but doesn't have Elizabeth/Talisman, who is.
More importantly, Elizabeth is shown without the Coronet of Enchantment, with no explanation how this is so since, in # 20, the Coronet is now a part of her and "cannot be removed." I really wish Byrne had given a reason for it because it seems like Elizabeth could take it off, an idea that another writer ran buck-wild with after the Byrne run.
Aurora doesn't seem to be concerned about keeping her identity secret. In # 21, the construction worker says "I hear you're one lady who really knows how to have a good time." Who's blabbing? I don't believe Walt is the "kiss and tell" type, especially if he's concerned about protecting her from SUPERvillains (like the SENTINELS) from finding her.
Lastly, could Roger phase into ANY metal or just the BOX-armor? And is phasing into metal something just anyone can do?

Yeah, they're pretty loose with the corner boxes. In terms of Roger Bochs - I'm really not sure about his phasing abilities, they were mostly used for animating the robot. Perhaps he could have jumped into other objects.

@@jmstater That would've been sick if he was able to phase and animate other objects besides his robot form.
