Greg Pak, Fred Van Lente & Dale Eaglesham’s MAJOR Insult To Canada With ALPHA FLIGHT #1 Preview (Fear Itself)

News

Really? The Dale Eaglesham variant for Alpha Flight #1 has an upside down Canadian Flag on the cover? And the artist is Canadian. Wha….???

Is this a deliberate insult that is story-based or this a screw up not caught by Marvel editorial? Either way, I imagine it will be recieved as a major insult to Canada.

I don’t recall the U.S. Flag being upside down in a comic (I can be proven wrong; Just send me a pic). But I do know of how seriously the U.S. government and Americans takes that in “real life“.
