"Marvel has announced the cancellation of several titles, including the fan-favourite series Alpha Flight. The publisher&amp;#039;s January 2012 solicitations notably exclude Alpha Flight, Nick Spencer&amp;#039;s Iron Man 2.0 and Paul Jenkins&amp;#039; eight-issue miniseries All-Winners Squad. &amp;quot;Fans and friends, I&amp;#039;m sorry to confirm that Alpha Flight will indeed end with issue #8,&amp;quot; co-writer Greg Pak tweeted this week. &amp;quot;The book was originally conceived as an 8-issue mini, so we&amp;#039;re still telling the big, fun story we intended from the start.&amp;quot; The cancellation of Alpha Flight may come as a surprise, as it was only upgraded from a maxi-series to an ongoing in August at the FanExpo in Toronto. Marvel has yet to announce a reason for the title&amp;#039;s cancellation. September sales for Alpha Flight #4 were around 23,000. Alpha Flight #8 will be published in January 2012.
