Description
Joshua Lord now rules Canada - but this is a very different Canada, for nearly all “normal” humans have been killed or genetically altered into the perfect race. There is no pollution, no crime and no violence. Canada‘s premiere super hero team, Alpha Flight, are mostly dead. But it is all wrong, for psionic spiders have surrounded the border of Canada with webs which cause anyone who enters Canada to see everything as normal, meaning the rest of the world is oblivious to what has transpired in Canada. Except for the outlaw heroes that comprise Alpha Flight - Guardian, Northstar, Diamond Lil, Talisman, Wildheart and Feedback - who embark on one final mission to escape into the States and find help. But Joshua Lord had predicted this would happen and on the night of their mission, plenty of Hardliners are at the border, ready to prevent Alpha Flight from escaping. But one by one they begin to die. First Wildheart, then Diamond Lil. Northstar manages to escape into the States, but he is pursued by a “hollow man”, who kills him. Talisman and Feedback are then slain by some creatures, leaving Heather at the mercy of the “hollow man”. Then she wakes up - it was a nightmare - a premonition of a possible future. Heather is confused, but barely has time to register anything, because it is about to begin - with the capture of Feedback by the Hardliners.
