A retrospective of five of Alpha Flight's HQs over the decades.

The same blogger's opinion on which five DCU cities should be annexed by Canada, if you can believe it. Read this for the entertainment value. (And is DC still serious about retroactively making Booster Gold one of us post-Flashpoint, people? Really?)

(Also...if the DCU characters were to be all Canadianized? Smallville? In Saskatchewan. No arguments on this one, readers of mine.)

Is it possible for a mystery bookstore to self-resurrect in Ottawa? Linda Wiken saith "YES!" Effective this very weekend, in fact!

More later on...

Update 19 June 2014: The blog entries linked to here have - along with the blog itself - been rendered private by the owner. Didn't know until today that this had happened, nor am I aware of when and why. Apologies for this.

Re: the Booster thing. 12 issues in, and there's been absolutely zero mention of Booster being Canadian. Honestly, I think that was just them pandering to a Fan Expo crowd 4 days before the relaunch hit stores.

The timing would have been about right for that.

Oh, and Smallville in Saskatchewan? Bang on!

Keystone/Central City is Kitchener Waterloo, not Toronto, especially with Toronto being, at least originally, Metropolis.

Should Montréal stand in for/be roughly equal to Gotham?

Though he's right, Manapul is indeed basing Central City on Toronto, as one cover showing Yonge and Queen proved.

Thanks for posting this. I really enjoyed the article!
