The new Alpha Flight series will be manned by American heroes who have moved to Canada as a result of the government legislation enacted in the 'Civil War' megacrossover. It plays off the history of Americans escaping the draft during the Vietnam War, as well as recent declarations by certain people that they'd move to Canada if Bush was re elected (and then not). It's politically observant, satirical, colonialist and intentionally controversial. And leading the team? Captain America, obviously.
You've got to hand it to Millar. That'll set the message boards buzzing.

There are rumors that Captain America is one of these heroes.
Ya know, I've had it with this hippie garbage in comics. "We're getting you to think!" is the rallying cry of these doofs. Well, why not try to get people to think with other kinds of stories? Besides, this doesn't get kids to think...it makes them think it's cool. I've been in comic book stores for twenty years, and I've seen it.
Whatever. DC used to be the universe that supposedly sucked. It's looking better and better every month.
