Why did JB kill Guardian?

0

Do you think you would have worked ALPHA FLIGHT differently if there hadn’t been such a drive for doing “real” death stories in comics at the time? And do you wish you wouldn’t have killed Jim? JB: One of us is misremembering the period. I don’t recall any “drive” for “real” death stories at the time I offed Mac. Rather, I did that particular story because I felt Mac was the least interesting of all the members of Alpha, but realized that from his death I could generate a whole flock of interesting subplots and arcs. In my constant quest to make the members of Alpha more three dimensional, I was always looking for anything that could be used to generate depth in their personalities. Mac’s death — and their reactions to it — was such a way. So, no, I’ve never regretted killing him.
