File:Alpha Flight Vol 1 71 001.jpg

Description
After the battle with the Dreamqueen, Alpha Flight are visited by General Winslow, who represents Ottawa, and the Mayor of Edmonton, each with offers to support Alpha Flight should they reform. Talisman already knows the outcome, that Alpha will reform and set up base in Edmonton, but Vindicator is frustrated as she thinks Talisman seems to be usurping her as leader. After finishing with Winslow and the Mayor, Alpha return to Edmonton Mall to collect the Purple Girl, who annoyed at Alpha for not bringing her with them, then tells them that she doesn’t want to be a super hero anymore, and leaves with Laura Dean and Goblyn. Jeffries returns to Ottawa, and is greeted by his former lover Diamond Lil, who is free from prison. Lil tries to kiss Jeffries, which Vindicator sees, and assumes the worst, so she returns to her own home, where Talisman is waiting for her. The foster sisters argue for some time, before Talisman reveals that Canada is a nexus point for evil, which explains some of the deadly enemies that have fought in the past. Meanwhile, a young couple are on a second honeymoon, when Dexter discovers some ancient statue. A mysterious being appears to him in his dream and offers him power, and gives him instructions to follow his plan. Dexter must kill his wife, Carol, and after drinking her blood and the small statue, he sets free an ancient Sorcerer known as Llan, who has a plan to change the world like he tried to 10,000 years ago - but first he has to kill some people. While Vindicator tries to contact Jeffries, Llan arrives, and prepares to attack Heather and Elizabeth.
