Didn't Steranko do something along those lines in his S.H.I.E.L.D. run?

I think Steranko did an issue with pictures and no words.

That was just the first three pages of Nick Fury Agent of Shield #1.

I was watching the PBS history of comics and they talked about a sequence where someone was jumping or falling or something, and the reader had to turn and rotate the comic to read the captions which mimicked the action the character on the page was doing.

Andy Mokler: I think you're talking about Nick Fury during Steranko's run as writer and artist.

And about Newsarama's article, I think it's just lazy writing.

I remember that issue of Alpha Flight. It was awesome. I laughed when i first saw it, thinking of the "Polar Bear in a snowstorm" joke. But the action with the words and sounds really captured my imagination. I was trying to visualize what was happening and actually spent a little longer looking at the pages then I normally do. 

I remember being really surprised that Snowbird had a true form too. Is she like some kind of demigod?

Her father was human, her mother was a goddess.

Thanks JB. I just read up on her background to get the story. I came across the deity Nelvanna being Snowbirds mother. 

Was there any nod to the early Canadian comic book heroine Nelvana of the Northern Lights? I never heard of her before. But after reading about her it seems as though she was Canada’s first female superhero.
