YEAR 21
Tuesday, January 1: New Year's Day
Wednesday, January 2
NEW MUTANTS v2 #1 (8-9)
One "January" day, "three weeks" after NM2 1 (5-7). Sofia spends her first day in an American school, on what is likely the first
day of the semester after the holiday break. We see bare trees and snow in Boulder.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (1-12)
"Two days" after Rhino's brain operation, they run some tests on him at the Mexican border lab. Later that day he outsmarts
Spider- Man and flees with Stella who seems to have started liking him.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #7 (2-6, 8-10)
One day, probably a few weeks after the night of the flashbacks throughout the storyline, Charlie Clemmens is diagnosed with
cancer and learns he needs half a million dollars to be operated. Then he has a sudden headache as he is starting up his car and
has a flashback to a police persecution on a rainy night. Later that night he spots three crooks assaulting a woman and calls Peter
Parker at the Daily Bugle to show up as Spider-Man. Bare trees.
Thursday, January 3
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (13)
The day after TW 6 (1-12). This segment probably occurs before PPSM2 22-FB (7:1). Mindworm and Gibbon are reading in
prison the news about Spidey being fooled by Rhino when he breaks in and offers them to work for him.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #7 (11-19)
Probably the day after TW 7 (1-10). Charlie Clemmens sees his wife (they are separated) and thinks about doing something with
his knowledge of Spidey's secret. Later he has another headache attack and remembers the same rainy night with the police after
some bank robbers. Then he calls Seeds (the guy in charge of that bank robbery, who is playing cards with his accomplices) but
hangs up. One of Seeds' accomplices states that Spider-Man has been watching over them "since the trial." Green grass and
bare trees.
CABLE v2 #92
One day, "one week" after C2 92-FB (9, 11) and "two weeks" after the other flashbacks in C2 92.
Friday, January 4
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #7 (20-22)
Probably the day after TW 7 (11-19). Charlie goes to church and asks a priest if it's a sin to break a trust in order to save a life
(thinking about revealing Spidey's secret). The priest can't answer.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #8 (1-7)
The same day as TW 7 (20-22). Charlie calls Spider-Man at the Bugle to save a suicide jumper. Later that night he goes to see
his sick son Benny and gives him an autographed picture of Spider-Man. His son asks if they can go somewhere on "Friday."
Bare trees.
CABLE v2 #93 (1-11)
One day, "weeks" after C2 93-FB. Cable disarms a forty-seventh member of the Dark Sisterhood in a week's time in Chicago.
Saturday, January 5
CABLE v2 #93 (12)
The day after C2 93 (1-11). Cable leaves his rented building in Chicago.
CABLE v2 #93 (17)
The same day as C2 93 (12). Cable is spotted in Chicago by the Dark Sisterhood.
CABLE v2 #93 (20-22)
The same day as C2 93 (17). The Dark Sisterhood attacks Cable's warehouse and stumble into a trap. It is at least a "week"
before C2 94.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #8 (8-22)
Probably the day after TW 7 (1-7). Seeds and his gang hesitate to rob a bank fearing Spidey may show up. Later Charlie gets a
job as a security guard at a diamond store; they ask him to start on "Monday." Then he sees his wife and asks her to tell his son
he is sorry he won't be able to take him out. That night he offers Seeds and his gang robbing the jewelry store where he's going
to work and revealing Spider-Man's secret in exchange for half of the take. (Charlie reveals knowing they robbed a bank and
were chased by the police on that rainy night he's been remembering). Bare trees and blowing leaves. Full moon.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #9 (1-9)
The same night as TW 8 (8-22). Charlie Clemmens outlines the conditions of his plan for a jewel heist to Seeds and his
accomplices and reveals knowing one of the crooks threw the bank money down a sewer, being chased by the police on that rainy
night. To prove he can deliver Spider-Man they use Seeds' girlfriend to rob a pharmacy. Charlie calls Spider-Man and he shows
up to stop the robbery. They agree on "Friday" as the day for the heist. Spider-Man decides he needs to talk to Charlie. Bare
trees.
Sunday, January 6
MUTIES #3 (9:4-9:5)
One day during the "six weeks" following MUT 3 (6-9). Riek grows to hate himself and the world while learning the ways of the
rebels.
X-FORCE #114
One day, "six months" after XFOR 113. It is "two days" before XFOR 115 FBs. Full moon.
Monday, January 7
PUNISHER v7 #32-FB (5:2)
One day early in the year, about three years before PUN7 32. Harry Ebbing takes over Dynaco.
Tuesday, January 8
X-FORCE #115 - FBs
One day, "two days" after XFOR 114. It is "six months" after XFOR 113.
Wednesday, January 9
X-MEN: DECLASSIFIED #1
One night with a full moon. It must be more than just "a few weeks" after X 100, given that this issue must occur after X 109,
since Kitty was missing for the whole period of time between X 100 and X 109. Gambit, Shadowcat and Wolverine, all wearing
their Revolution costumes, break into a military base to retrieve the files stolen from Cerebro by Bastion in X 65. While there,
Bastion's head (last seen in the Warlock v4 series, now called "Template") generates a bunch of holgrams, factual Cerebro files
mixed with phony "flashback" sequences, to confuse the intruding X-Men. Kitty reacts to Colossus' file without crying, so this
issue takes place before his death in UX 390.
Thursday, January 10
X-FORCE #115
One day, shortly after XFOR 115 FBs.
Friday, January 11
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #9 (10-19)
After the heist on "Friday," Charlie gets half of the take and gives Seeds an address where he'll meet Spider-Man "tonight at
nine." At the address (a Spidey convention takes place there), Seeds and his two fellows are trapped by Spider-Man and Charlie
who has another headache attack and collapses.
Saturday, January 12
CABLE v2 #94
One day. It is "weeks" after C2 94-FB and at least a "week" after C2 93 (20-22).
MUTIES #3 (10-13)
One day, "six weeks" after MUT 3 (6-9). Riek uses his newfound mutant powers to kill a group of UPDF soldiers and save his
squad of rebels. That night, Riek is scared of his powers and his use of them for killing. It is "a few days" before MUT 3 (14-
24).
[BTS]
Heather Hudson gets pregnant about now.
Sunday, January 13
CABLE v2 #95
The day after C2 94. The end of the Dark Sisterhood storyline, occurring before G&B 3. Sometime after this story, Bogan
abducts Rachel, "months" before XX 45.
UNCANNY X-MEN #390
One day. This issue, featuring the day of Colossus' "death," must occur after his appearance in X2 109. It is probably more than
"a few weeks" after X 107 and must certainly be "a few days" after X 108. It is no more than "a few weeks" before ASTONX3
6-FB. This story must occur after X:D 1. The green grass and apparent warm weather in New York of this issue is inconsistent
with the holiday setting of X 109.
Monday, January 14
X-MEN #111-FB (12-13)
One day. The Beast is interviewed for TV, likely shortly after the cure of the Legacy Virus in UX 390.
X-MEN UNLIMITED #36/2 (1-11)
One day. Magneto appears here before X 111.
X-MEN UNLIMITED #30/2
One day shortly after UX 390 and before Storm leaves in XX 2-FB. Bare trees and crescent moon.
ASTONISHING X-MEN v3 #5 - FB (8:5)
One day, shortly after UX 390. I have placed this flashback before NX 40/2-FB. Colossus awakens to see Ord, who tells him that his "death saved mutantkind from the Legacy Virus."
Tuesday, January 15
WOLVERINE v2 #176-FB
One day. Colossus' funeral. Cyclops appears here although he hasn't officially returned to the X-Men yet.
MUTIES #3 (14-24)
One day, "a few days" after MUT 3 (10-13). Riek revolts against the rebels, gets picked up by the Ugandan government, escapes
from them and returns to the rebel camp, only to kill the rebels and die himself.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #9 (20-23)
One day, probably a few days after TW 9 (10-19). At the hospital, Benny Clemmens has been operated and Charlie lies in a
comatose state (remembering the rainy night when Benny accidentally unmasked Spider-Man). His wife explains to the doctor
how she didn't have a cent and then one "night" half a million in cash appeared on her dresser. The doctor states it bought her
son's life.
PUNISHER v7 #32-FB (5:4)
One day, maybe a week after PUN7 32-FB (5:2). Harry holds a dinner with the staff of Dynaco.
Wednesday, January 16
X-MEN UNLIMITED #30/4
One day, between UX 390 and X 111, and "some time" after M:DS 4 (21-22). Wolverine and Quicksilver chat at Xavier's,
where we see green grass and trees that must be topical. It is long enough after X 111-FB (17:1-17:2) for Pietro to have healed.
Wolverine has two eyes, so this must occur before W2 162.
X-TREME X-MEN #3-FB (14:6-17)
One day. Rogue, Psylocke and Thunderbird are training in the Danger Room, wearing their red X-Treme costumes, which must
have debuted only when the X-Treme team's departure in G&B 1-FB was imminent, perhaps the day before departure.
Thursday, January 17
GAMBIT & BISHOP #1-FB
One day, "a week" before G&B 1. The majority of the X-Treme team leave the mansion, but Beast and Bishop stay behind as a
result of Stryfe's mind control. I left a gap of months between now and XX 2-FB, when the team finally decides to gather back
together to go after Destiny's diaries.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #36 (1-10)
One day. Billy Fender, a private investigator, obsessed with finding Spider-Man's identity states being six years after his big
score and remembers the first time he saw Spidey.
Friday, January 18
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #36 (11-22)
The day after PPSM2 36 (1-10). After remembering a day when he just started working at an Insurance Company, Billy Fender
quits his job and heads to the Bugle, there he sees Jameson expecting to get a deal because he thinks he's just discovered that
Jonah is Spidey. There aren't many clues about placement of this issue but no real reason to move it out of publication order
either. Joe Robertson and Brother Richard (from PPSM2 34 and 37) appear here, and probably Billy Walters, Ben Urich and
Peter Parker too (21:1-21:2).
Saturday, January 19
MUTIES #4 (12-13)
One day, "three weeks" after MUT 4 (1-11). Jisa discovers she's not the only woman in Laolo's life. Warm weather in Rio.
Sunday, January 20
MUTIES #4 (14-17)
Perhaps the day after MUT 4 (12-13). Jisa tells Laolo she may be pregnant, and after he suggests an abortion, she returns home
but is rejected by her mother. A mutant bar bouncer named Renata takes Jisa under her wing. Green trees in Rio.
X-MEN v2 #110 (1-6:2)
One day. Kitty Pryde arrives in Moscow on an airplane with "Peter Rasputin's" ashes.
Monday, January 21: Martin Luther King Day
X-MEN v2 #110 (6:3-7)
The day after X 110 (1-6). Kitty arrives at the Ust Ordynski Collective.
X-MEN v2 #110 (10-12)
The same day as X 110 (6-7). Kitty scatters "Peter Rasputin's" ashes to the winds.
Tuesday, January 22
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #22 - FB (7:1)
One day, probably after TW 6 (13). Spider-Man defeats Mindworm and the police cart him off to jail.
MARVEL BOY #6 (22-23)
One day, long enough after MB 6 (1-21) for an internet cult to form in support of Noh-Varr. This segment occurs before NA:I2 4. Oubliette destroys Disney World and demands the release of Noh-Varr from a federal super-penitentiary; she threatens to ruin "the holiday season for every child in the world until he's released." The president shown here is Clinton.
Wednesday, January 23
GAMBIT & BISHOP: ALPHA #1
Early one morning. Bishop has a weird dream about him and Gambit fighting Cyclops and Iceman, then he wakes up. Xavier
believes that Bishop's mind had slipped off into the (possible) future. Beast discovers a symbiote (Le Bete Noir) in Bishop's
system. Gambit comes back home from a date (apparently with Rogue). Full moon.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #1
The same day as G&B:A 1. It is "a week" after G&B 1-FB. Beast runs tests on Bishop. Gambit is suspicious and eventually
attacks the other X-Men. The three ladies being projections disappear. Gambit and Bishop team up to fight the team, then they
figure out that Stryfe is behind things, and Gambit decides that Stryfe wants the symbiote, so that he and Bishop should escape,
which they do. After Stryfe's mind control is broken, the Beast probably appears next in W2 162, the beginning of the story that
leads to his injury.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #2
The same day as G&B 1. Gambit and Bishop go to the graveyard and meet the Witness and Stryfe.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #3
The same night as G&B 2. Cable appears here after C2 95. Stryfe begs for help, Bishop wants to fight, Remy wants to go eat, so
they go to a diner, where Stryfe narrates his life story. Full moon.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #4 (1-18)
The same night as G&B 3. The diner sequence continues and Cable distracts Gambit and Bishop with an illusion.
Thursday, January 24
GAMBIT & BISHOP #4 (19-22)
The early morning after G&B 4 (1-18). Cable takes Witness and Stryfe back to the graveyard. Full moon.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #5
The same early morning as G&B 4 (19-22). Cable makes Stryfe remember everything he has done, Stryfe explains about the
Bete Noir. Full moon.
GAMBIT & BISHOP #6
The same early morning as G&B 5. Le Bete Noir tries to escape from Bishop's body, but Stryfe pulls it into himself, sacrificing
himself, and apologizes to Cable, before he dies.
WOLVERINE v2 #162
This story, leading to the Beast's injury, probably occurs after G&B 1 and must occur after UX 30/4.
WOLVERINE v2 #163
WOLVERINE v2 #164
Sabretooth's adamantium bonding procedure is finished. Wolverine's left eye is ripped out.
WOLVERINE v2 #165
Sabretooth goes on his first mission for Weapon X, so this issue must occur before WX:Z 1 (1-9).
WOLVERINE v2 #166
Maverick is gravely injured, so this issue occurs very shortly before WX:Z 1 (1-9). I don't have these issues, so I'm going from
Jeph's notes that the Beast appears here and is badly wounded. The reference presumably made here to the "Eve of Destruction"
storyline is actually to the "Magneto Rex" series, as Jeph suggested.
WEAPON X: THE DRAFT - ZERO #1 (1-9)
One day, probably very shortly after W2 166, and the fact that Sabretooth is working for Weapon X places this segment after W2
165. Sabretooth has brought Maverick to Weapon X headquarters badly injured. The Director offers to save his life if he will
join Weapon X. Maverick agrees and is healed and transformed into Agent Zero.
Friday, January 25
X-MEN v2 #110 (13-14)
One day, shortly after X 110 (10-12). After flying from Russia to Chicago, Kitty Pryde writes a letter of resignation to Charles
Xavier. She has enrolled as a freshman in college (to which she must have applied sometime prior), perhaps after a long holiday
vacation for the University of Chicago. The green grass and trees in Chicago must be topical.
WEAPON X v2 #21 - FB
Probably the day after W2 166. Logan tells Bolt that Maverick is dead. Sometime after this, Bolt assumes Maverick's identity
and shows up next in WX2 6.
PUNISHER v6 #1
One day. It cannot be "two years" before PUN6 32. The Punisher catches up with Lieutenant Soap, then he is attacked by the
cybernetically resuscitated Russian, who throws Frank off the Empire State Building. Frank notes that he's "been back in
Brooklyn since the winter" - this may be a reference to the arrival of winter (e.g. December).
PUNISHER v6 #2 (1-18)
The same night as PUN6 1. After Spidey saves the Punisher from his fall, Frank pushes the Russian off the Empire State,
causing him to crash into the subway below and get hit by a train.
Saturday, January 26
PUNISHER v6 #2 (19-22)
The early morning after PUN6 2 (1-18). The events of PUN5 5 are referred to as having occurred "last year." Frank asks Soap
to investigate who sent the Russian after him while the police follow up on the subway incident. France is expected to test a
nuclear bomb "next Monday."
PUNISHER v6 #3 (1-6)
The same day as PUN6 2 (19-22). Soap tells Frank that the guy behind the Russian is General Kriegkopf, who is based on the
South Pacific Island of Grand Nixon Island.
DEFENDERS v2 #1 (1-3)
One day, "three weeks" before DEF2 1 (4-48).
DEFENDERS v2 #2-FB
The same day as DEF2 1 (1-3).
Sunday, January 27
WEAPON X: THE DRAFT - ZERO #1 (10)
One day, shortly after WX:Z 1 (1-9). The Director debriefs Weapon X, shown here as Mesmero, Sauron, Kane, Sabretooth,
Copycat (before DP3 57), Wild Child, Zero, and Agent Jackson. Given Wild Child's fairly happy demeanor, this scene probably
occurs before he loses his power of speech in WX:WC 1-FB. After this scene, Copycat leaves the team just prior to DP3 56,
based on the finality with which she "moves in with" Deadpool in that issue.
PUNISHER v6 #3 (7-22)
The day (at least "23 hours") after PUN6 3 (1-6). The Punisher arrives on Grand Nixon Island, where Kriegkopf greets the
French nuclear test crew, who have stopped there to refuel.
NEW X-MEN v2 #40/2 - FB
One day. I have placed this flashback between ASTONX3 5-FB (8:5) and ASTONX2 6-FB. Kavita Rao and Ord stand with piles of reference books.
Monday, January 28
PUNISHER v6 #4
The day after PUN6 3 (7-22). Kriegkopf's plan to nuke the E.U. is revealed as the Punisher sabotages his operations on Grand
Nixon Island.
PUNISHER v6 #5 (1-18)
The same day as PUN6 4. It is "2 weeks" before PUN6 5 (19-22). The Punisher foils Kriegkopf's plans by nuking Grand Nixon
Island. Since the French are ready to do the nuclear test, it must be the Monday noted in PUN6 2 (19-22) and PUN6 4 (7-22).
WOLVERINE v2 #167 - FB
One day. Logan receives an invitation by mail inviting him to repay a debt from W2 162-166, so this must be at least a few days
after W2 166. The payment of debt is participation in the annual Bloodsport contest in Madripoor. Logan refers to the Beast as
still convalescing from his injuries.
DEADPOOL v3 #56
One day. Copycat has left Weapon X and moves in with Deadpool, so this story must occur after WX:Z 1 (10).
Tuesday, January 29
DEADPOOL v3 #57
One day.
DEADPOOL v3 #58
The same day as DP 57? Deadpool and Kane go on a mission for Weapon X that ends up involving the killing of a kid. Colcord
then gives Wade the assignment of killing Copycat. Green grass in Iowa.
DEADPOOL v3 #59
The same day as DP 58. Deadpool tries to protect Copycat and ends up battling Kane. Meanwhile, Sabretooth kills Vanessa.
Green trees. The Bronx Zoo is open and visitors are wearing light clothing.
WOLVERINE v2 #167 (1-9:2)
Probably the day after W2 167-FB. Logan flies to Madripoor for the Bloodsport contest and encounters Viper.
X-MEN v2 #110 (15-22)
One day, probably a few days after X 110 (13-14). Charles Xavier receives Kitty's resignation letter, so this likely occurs before
XU 36-FB (3). Meanwhile, Magneto finds the Neo in Brooklyn, slays two of them, and demands allegiance from the rest.
Wednesday, January 30
WOLVERINE v2 #167 (9:3-22)
The day after W2 167 (1-9). Logan resumes his Patch identity and participates in round one of the Bloodsport.
WOLVERINE v2 #168
The same day as W2 167 (9-22). Logan participates in round two and fights Mr. X in the championship bout. As he gets ready
to leave Madripoor, Viper tells Logan that Ogun is back.
WOLVERINE v2 #169
The same day as W2 168. Wolverine gets his left eye back, so this story must occur before UX 392.
DEADPOOL v3 #60 (1-22:1)
The day after DP 59. It is probably a couple of days before DP3 60 (22). Jackson notes that Deadpool has put "two agents
(Kane, in DD2 59, and now Sauron) out of commission in as many days." Wade mentions having sat "on Santa's lap this year."
Deadpool defeats Sauron, Wild Child, and Agent Jackson, but when he storms Weapon X headquarters, Wade is killed by
Sabretooth, Jackson, and a bunch of guards.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (14-15)
One day, "a month" after his operation in TW 5 (21-22), the Rhino is already the kingpin of a citywide crime syndicate, is in love
with Stella and has forced a court injunction stopping Spidey from coming within half a mile of him after reading American law
"last Tuesday." As Rhino and Stella come back from the opera he gets a call from his brain operation doctor.
HOWARD THE DUCK v2 #1 (1-6:1)
One day during the "dead of winter." Snow.
Thursday, January 31
WEAPON X: THE DRAFT - WILD CHILD #1-FB
One day, "six months" before WX:WC 1 (1-4). Sabretooth and Wild Child unsuccessfully recruit Sunfire for Weapon X, then
Sabretooth slashes Wild Child's throat, leaving him voiceless. The fact that Wild Child appears happy and outgoing in WX:Z 1
(10) indicates that this flashback occurs after WX:Z 1 (10). Sunfire is shot in this flashback and enough time must pass between
now and XU 34/3 for him to recover.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (16)
The day after TW 6 (14-15). At the Mexican border lab the monkey with increased intelligence has committed suicide. Rhino
learns the effects of his brain operation don't stop and his intelligence keeps increasing on and on.
HOWARD THE DUCK v2 #1 (6:2-12:1)
The day after HTD2 1 (1-6).

see other Spider-Man titles), Jonah asks Peter to make sure Spider-Man shows up for the shooting of a GM commercial with Jay
Leno "tomorrow." Jay Leno has drinks with friends expecting Spidey not to show up.
HOWARD THE DUCK v2 #1 (12:2-23)
The day after HTD2 1 (6-12). Snow.
ASTONISHING X-MEN v3 #6 - FB
One day, no more than "a few weeks" after UX 390. This flashback occurs before ASTONX3 5-FB. I have placed it after NX 40/2-FB. Ord provides a copy of Hank McCoy's notes on the Legacy Virus cure to Kavita Rao and notes that he has resuscitated Colossus.
DEADPOOL v3 #60 (22:2-22:5)
One day, probably a couple of days after DP3 60 (1-22). Wolverine receives Deadpool's severed hand in the mail at Xavier's,
where we see green grass and trees.
Saturday, February 2
HOWARD THE DUCK v2 #2
The early morning after HTD2 1 (12-23).
HOWARD THE DUCK v2 #3
The same day as HTD2 2. Green grass and trees.
SPIDER-MAN & JAY LENO #1 (3-5)
One day. After catching a couple of thieves Spider-Man heads to the shooting of a commercial with Jay Leno. As Jay and
Spidey seat on the hood of a car and are about to start shooting a heavy light starts falling to them.
SPIDER-MAN & JAY LENO #2
The same day as SM&JL 1 (3-5). After evading a falling heavy light Spider-Man and Jay Leno are attacked by gunned people
inside the studio where they were doing a commercial. They escape to the street where Leno gets his motorcycle.
SPIDER-MAN & JAY LENO #3 (1-4)
The same day as SM&JL 2. After escaping gunned people on Leno's motorcycle and then beating them and some ninjas, Jay and
Spider-Man learn they've been set up to be filmed for some kind of reality programming. Spidey asks to be in the "Tonight
Show."
UNCANNY X-MEN #391
One "weekend" day, sometime before XU 32/3. Corsair appears here before XU 32/3. He and Scott have a father and son
outing and clear the air about issues. We see fishing and camping weather and jacket weather at night wherever it is Scott and
Corsair are. Full moon.
MUTIES #5 (1-4)
One night. Sven takes Ankhl back to his place and discovers that she is a mutant.
Sunday, February 3
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (17)
One day, probably a few days after TW 6 (16). Rhino is tired of Stella and finds love ridiculous; she leaves him and goes back to
Romeo.
MUTIES #5 (5-8)
The day after MUT 5 (1-4). Bjorn overdoses and Sven takes his stash. Sven and Ankhl go to his sister's in Nykoping "for a few
days." We see snow, blowing leaves, and a full moon in Stockholm.

Sabretooth's last appearance with Weapon X before he defects, as shown in W2 170. Other guests include Wolverine, Cable,
and Black Panther.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (18-19)
Probably the day after TW 6 (17). Rhino sees Spider-Man and reveals knowing his secret, then gives him computer discs with
details of his criminal empires that won't be of any use to him where he is going; he is finding life utterly futile. At the top of the
Brooklyn bridge he thinks about suicide but again doesn't do it. Full moon.
Tuesday, February 5
X-MEN v2 #111
One day, "several weeks" after X 111-FB (17:1-17:2). Since Quicksilver is reported to be planning to return to the Avengers,
this storyline occurs between XU 30/4 and A3 38. A comment made in W2 162 suggests that this storyline occurs before W2
162, but this cannot be correct. According to X2 133, it is "one year" before X2 132, but this length of time may be too long.
UNCANNY X-MEN #392
The same day as X 111. After XU 32 and XBR 1. Logan's eye has grown back, so this story must occur after W2 169.
X-MEN v2 #112
The same day as UX 392.

The same day as X 112.
X-MEN v2 #113 (1-22)
The same day as UX 393. Jean Grey and her recruits battle Magneto, then Cyclops and Wolverine arrive and the latter skewers
Magneto. Xavier and the X-Men return Magneto to Genosha.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #6 (20)

to be as stupid as he was before.

SPIDER-MAN & JAY LENO #3 (5)
One night. Spider-man appears on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno to talk about their adventure "last weekend," and he
chokes. This event is referenced as happening "last month" in SM:SC 1. Full moon.
Wednesday, February 6
MUTIES #5 (9-20)
One day, probably "a few days" after MUT 5 (5-8). After Bjorn's sister and her friends use up the stash, Bjorn and Ankhl get
kicked out of her place and return to Stockholm, where we see snow and both bare and green trees. There, drug dealers attack
Bjorn and Ankhl uses her mutant power for the first time to blind the dealers. She then robs a dealer of his drugs, passes out, and
gets picked up by police and thrown in jail. It is a "week" before MUT 5 (21-23).

The day after X 113 (1-22). Jean's recruits leave Xavier's, where we see one bare tree.

hour" in New York.

One day. Miss Kay, a reporter from the Bugle, asks Peter out while at the Library to go to the Miró Exhibit at the MOMA on
"February 14th" but he doesn't seem to pay attention thinking of Aunt May, Doc Ock and a past due bill. In TW 11 these events
are said to have happened "last week."
CABLE v2 #96
One day, "a year" after C2 96-FB (14).
Friday, February 8
AVENGERS v3 #38
One day in "winter" with "unseasonably warm and sunny" weather in New York. Quicksilver has rejoined the Avengers, an
indication that this issue occurs after X 111. Black Knight has rejoined as well, so this story must occur after XCAL2 4. Thor
returns to the Avengers after an absence.
AVENGERS v3 #39
The same day as A3 38. Since Bruce Banner is retrieved from Doc Samson's place to assist the Avengers, this story probably
occurs before the Hulk leaves Samson in H3 24.
AVENGERS v3 #40
The same day as A3 39.
WOLVERINE ANNUAL 2001 (8-17)
The day after W '01 (4-7). This segment occurs within a "few weeks" before W2 170. At the homeless shelter, Logan battles
Bloodscream, who escapes and reports back to Mauvais. Mauvais sends Blooscream to the Ravencroft Institute to free Vermin.
Full moon.
Saturday, February 9
IRON MAN v3 #41
One day. The introduction of Iron Man's "retro armor" puts this issue after A3 40. It is "a few short weeks" before IM3 42.
Coney Island is shown as being open, so maybe it's the same warm spell shown in A3 38. Of course, how would they open and
staff the place on short notice? Surely this warm weather was not certain well in advance.
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #24
One day, probably after A3 40. It is "days" before H3 26. General Ross visits Bruce Banner, who is undergoing treatment at
Doc Samson's, where we see snow. Ross takes Banner to Area 51, where he asks him to go after the Abomination. Upon seeing
Betty is a cryogenic chamber, Banner changes to Hulk and bounds off to find the Abomination.
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #25 (1-35)
The same night as H3 24. Hulk battles the Abomination, whom the military take into custody. There is no snow in New
Hampshire, where the battle occurs. Bare trees at Samson's place. Full moon.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #38
One night. The Fantastic Four appear in new blue and black costumes without the number 4 on the chest.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #39
The same night as FF3 38. Thor's appearance with the Avengers here suggests that these issues occur after A3 38-40. Iron Man
is not present. Chest emblems bearing the number 4 are applied to the FF's new costumes.
WOLVERINE ANNUAL 2001 (18-24)
The night of the day after W '01 (8-17). It is "three days" before W '01 (25-27). In the New York sewers, Logan battles Vermin

FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #40
The day after FF3 39. Peter Parker takes pictures of the Baxter Building, which has just appeared from space.

The same day as FF3 40.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #42
The same day as FF3 41. Spidey has a heart-to-heart talk with Johnny Storm on top of the Statue of Liberty.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #43
The same day as FF3 42.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #44
The same day as FF3 43. The Torch cannot control his flame as of this issue, and the situation isn't fixed until FF3 49, so
Johnny cannot appear without flames between FF3 44 and 49.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #45 - FB (2-5)
The same day as FF3 44. Reed Richards tries to deal with Johnny's inability to flame off. It is "several days" before FF3 45 (8-
22).
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #25 (36-40)
Probably the day after H3 25 (1-35). Bruce Banner visits the Abomination, who is in custody at Area 51.

is "several days" before FF3 45 (8-22).
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #1
One day. According to Tom Brevoort, this series occurs between A3 40 and 41. It is supposed to be "five years" after A 128,
but it must be quite a bit longer.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #2
The same day as A:CQ 1. The Avengers encounter Thanos, who states that Sequoia "has grown 18 earth years in a third of that,"
so it is supposedly six years and several months (for the pregnancy) after GSA 4, but the time frame must be longer. Unable to
destroy a reunited Mantis, Thanos departs to kill her son, Sequoia. As the Avengers are "78.7 hours" from Sequoia's world,
Mantis has time to tell the Avengers her story. She states that she is now complete "for the first time in three years," since SS3 9,
but again, this is not long enough to accommodate all the MU stories that occur between then and now. Furthermore, the
implication that three years separate GSA 4 and SS3 9 must be incorrect, as more time exists between those two issues. "Several
hours" later, Mantis and the Vision get romantic.
[BTS]
One day, "about a week" (actually "not three days") before W '01/2 (3-13). Logan gets a call from an old friend named Gus,
who says he's selling his B&B in Holly, Alberta and moving to his sister's because he is spooked about something.
Tuesday, February 12
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #26
One early "morning," "days" after H3 24. This story probably occurs before DEF2 1 (4-38). Savage Hulk, perhaps on his way
back from Area 51, battles Killer Shrike in a small town in Wisconsin. Shrike's girlfriend Nadine is killed in the battle. Full
moon.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #3 (1-10)
The morning after A:CQ 2 (1-20). After Vision and Mantis spend the night together, the Avengers' spacecraft is attacked by
Reptyl and the team routs the aliens.
CHAMBER #4 - FB (12:1)
One day, probably during the college year. "Right after" Students for Tolerance is founded at ESU, Alex's powers manifest
themselves.
WOLVERINE ANNUAL 2001 (25-27)
One day, "three days" after W '01 (18-24). Logan delivers a watch to the son of one of Bloodscream's victims. Mauvais
schemes with Vermin and the handless Bloodscream. Green shrubs in Manhattan.
Wednesday, February 13

that were inhibiting her powers.
WEAPON X: THE DRAFT - ZERO #1-FB (11/12:8-10)
Zero takes down a terrorist organization in Los Angeles during the "few weeks" that separate pages 10 and 11 of WX:Z 1.

One night, "two nights" before W '01/2 (3-13). The townspeople of Holly kill Gus and burn down his bed and breakfast.
Thursday, February 14: Valentine's Day
[BTS]
Probably the day after W '01/2-FB (7). Logan gets a call from Gus' sister saying she has a bad feeling because Gus hasn't
showed at her place yet.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #11-FB (27:7-27:8)
One day. While at the Bugle's lunch room, Miss Jill (another reporter) invites Peter out to meet at the Coffee Bean and go to see
a play. Since he's thinking of Aunt May, a medical bill, and Electro (Peter might just have learned that he is at large in the city
and thinks that capturing him is going to take the rest of his night) and doesn't seem to know what to say she makes sure he'll
remember by writing the time to meet her (8:00) on his arm. These events are said to have happened "today" in TW 11.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #3 (11-23)
One day. It must be two days after A:CQ 3 (1-10). The Avengers' journey through space nears an end, then "five hours" later,
they reach Sequoia's world "3 days and 6 hours" after the end of A:CQ 1 (1-20). Sequoia rebuffs the Avengers and Mantis
reacquaints herself with the Prime Cotati. Thanos gives Reptyl godlike power.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #4
The same day as A:CQ 3 (11-23).
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #5
The same day as A:CQ 4.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #6
The same day as A:CQ 5.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #7
The same day as A:CQ 6.
AVENGERS: CELESTIAL QUEST #8
The same day as A:CQ 7.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #10 (1-14)
On a "freezing" afternoon (probably the prelude of the coming snowstorm seen in TW 11), a couple of boys watch TV when Electro crashes into their apartment. The boys stand up to the villain, then Spidey arrives and smacks Electro.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1/2 - FB
I have placed this flashback on the same day as TW 10 (1-14). Spidey belts Electro, as captured by Pete's camera.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #10 (15-22)
The same day as TW 10 (1-14); I have this segment on the same day as SENSM@ 1/2-FB. Spider-Man captures Electro. Then Spidey leaves the boys a check for damages, a check he was going to use for the rent (which means he is not leaving at his aunt's by this time), to repair the damages. The oldest kid cancels going out with a girl (for Valentine's Day?) to watch his little brother because their mother is sick in bed.
SPIDER-MAN: BLUE #1 - FB (1-5)
Spider-Man stops by the Brooklyn bridge to leave a rose on top of it as a way to remember Gwen Stacy, as he does "once a year
in Valentine's day." Later this day Peter begins his tape recordings telling how he fell in love with Gwen shown in SM:B 1-6.
The full moon seen here must be topical.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #45 (8-22)
One day, "several days" after FF3 45 (6-7). It is before FF '01. Reed finishes a "robo-tech suit" that allows Johnny control his
flame. After receiving a letter from Ben that he's quit the team, the FF go to Sunshine City to talk to him, only to encounter the
Puppet Master, who has created a false world for Ben and Alicia. After Puppet Master is defeated, Ben and Alicia tell each other
they no longer love each other (note my ironic placement on Valentine's Day). We see green grass and trees in Florida.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #11
On "Valentine's Day," the Vulture activates a bomb that knocks Spider-Man unconscious after he tries to catch him for robbing a
jewelry store. While unconscious Peter misses meeting not one but two girls at the Coffee Bean for Valentine's Day. Later the
Vulture visits an old girlfriend and gives her the jewel he just stole. Jameson mentions that Peter is now a teacher. Somebody
that looks like Billy Walters (from earlier Spider-Man issues) appears here and is called Edwards by JJJ. Snow starts to fall.
SPIDER-MAN: BLUE #1
It's Valentine's Day and "not feeling like being anybody's Valentine," Peter starts tape recording how he fell in love with Gwen
Stacy. Full moon.
SPIDER-MAN: BLUE #2
Probably the same day as SM:B 1, as Peter mentions he just put down the tape recorder for "a second," he continues narrating his
memories of how he fell in love with Gwen Stacy.
Friday, February 15
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #37-FB (4:3-13)
One day. Peter awakens with a cold on the morning of a school day in which he has no "lesson plans prepared," only to discover
that a blizzard (Peter's exaggeration: "about fifty feet of snow piled up") on the "coldest day on record" in New York City has
forced school cancellations. Aunt May calls Peter to ask him to come dig her out of a snowdrift; Peter offers subway cancellation
as an excuse for not coming over, but May doesn't accept the excuse, which may be a sign she not only knows Peter is
Spider-Man, but that she's known long enough to feel somewhat comfortable with the knowledge. Barker watches Spidey leave;
on the way he finds the Vulture who gets mad at Spidey for "always" interfering at his every turn, now after just assaulting again
a diamond store (as in TW 11). They fight.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1/2 (1-5)
I have placed this segment on the same snowy day as PPSM2 37-FB (4-16). A homeless girl named Leah is wrapped in a Daily Bugle whose front page has the headline, "Spider-Man in Shocking Battle," and a photo of Spidey fighting Electro (which I have as a reference to TW 10 from the day before). She looks up and sees her idol Spider-Man fighting with the Vulture up on the rooftops. She retreats to her cardboard box home, which is decorated with pictures of Spidey. She drifts into unconsciousness, dreaming of being with Spidey and his hero friends.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #37 - FB (14-16)
The same day as PPSM2 37-FB (4-16); I have this segment on the same day as SENSM@ 1/2 (1-5). Spidey and the Vulture finish their fight and the villain dares Spidey to meet him in thirty minutes at the site of their first battle.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1/2 (6)
I have placed this segment on the same day as PPSM2 37-FB (14-16). After finding Leah unconscious in her box, Spidey brings her to a hospital, where a doctor tells him that she's dying. Spidey kisses her on the cheek and she dreams of him.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #37 (1-4:2)
The same day as PPSM2 37-FB (4-16). Spidey contemplates the day's events waiting for the Vulture. We see a snowstorm.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #37 (17-22)
The same day as PPSM2 37 (1-4); I have this segment on the same day as SENSM@ 1/2 (6). Spidey battles the Vulture with the Human Torch at his side; we don't see Johnny flamed off here, so it's possible that he's wearing the robo-tech suit from FF3 45 (8-22), or he may be unable to flame off, placing this segment during the "several days" between pages 7 and 8 of FF3 45; I chose the former so as not to break up an issue in Johnny's chronology. Later, Peter digs Aunt May out as the radio announces that the temperature is in "the minus thirties" with "an additional wind-chill factor of minus twenty." We see a snowstorm.
IRON MAN v3 #46 (1-2)
One day, "three weeks" before IM3 46 (3-15). The Sons of Yinsen make their presence known.
WOLVERINE ANNUAL 2001/2 (3-13:1)
One night, "two nights" after W '01/2-FB (7). It is "40 years" after W '01/2-FB (2). Logan arrives on his motorcycle in Holly,
Alberta, where we see lots of snow. He kills a Plodex that has been slaughtering the residents who had worshiped it.
Saturday, February 16
WOLVERINE ANNUAL 2001/2 (13:2-13:3)
The "morning" after W '01/2 (3-13). This segment occurs within a "few weeks" before W2 170. Logan calls Gert and tells her
about Gus' death, then rides off on his motorcycle. Bare trees and snow in Alberta.
DEFENDERS v2 #1 (4-38)
One day, "three weeks" after DEF2 1 (1-3). The "big four" Defenders get cursed by Yandroth. The Fantastic Four, Captain
America, Iron Man (in the retro armor he dons in IM3 41), and a behind-the-scenes Spidey battle a horde of demons. The
Human Torch is flamed on here and is out of the Baxter Building, so it is possible that Johnny Storm appears here during the
period in which he wears his "robo-tech suit" to flame off, between FF3 45(8-22) and 46; we see no flamed-off appearance
without the suit.
PUNISHER v6 #6
One day. At the Statue of Liberty, Frank kills an old Army buddy who recently murdered his wife and kids. We see rain and a
family of tourists in New York, so it's probably either a weekend or a school break.
X-MEN UNLIMITED #42/2
One night, while on a date at a snowy ski lodge, Moonstar thwarts some armed robbers. This story probably occurs before NM2
1 (10-25).
Sunday, February 17
BLACK PANTHER v3 #30
One day. Captain America, Reed Richards, and Officer Price testify at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing about T'Challa.
Gyrich becomes Ross' boss, and Mephisto appears. Rain at night.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #31
The same night as BP3 30. Malice is up to no good, and Dakota North makes an appearance.
PUNISHER v6 #7 (1-6)
One day. Punisher nails some mobsters, but gang boss Paul Rosso escapes. It is warm enough for two guys to play basketball
outdoors in short-sleeve shirts.
DEFENDERS v2 #2
One day, likely shortly after DEF2 1 (4-38), as this is the first time the curse is activated. Bruce Banner has assumed the Joe
Fixit persona and is found by Doc Samson at a Virginia roadhouse; Hulk refuses to go back with Samson for his ALS treatments.
Attuma usurps the throne of Atlantis. Given other evidence, we must conclude that Namorita is not captured by Attuma in this
issue, but rather escapes. It is "a few weeks" after the flashback in this issue and at least "a few months" after the end of
NHAWK 3. It is "months" before DEF2 11.
DEFENDERS v2 #3
The same night as DEF2 2, and "six months" after Def2 3-FB.
DEFENDERS v2 #4
The same night as DEF2 3. Namor must appear here before USA2 2, since Attuma rules Atlantis during the USA2 series. It
should also be before BP3 34.
Monday, February 18: Presidents' Day
PUNISHER v6 #7 (7-9)
Probably the day after PUN6 7 (1-6), since the Daily Bugle has a headline about the events of PUN4 7 (1-6). Punisher goes to
Harry's Bar to get a lead on Rosso from an informant.
DAREDEVIL v2 #27-FB (18-20)
One day, "three months" before DD2 27 (21). Sammy Silke joins Kingpin's organization and meets Richard Fisk.

The day after BP3 31. T'Challa, strung up and tortured by Malice, is freed by Ross and Omoro. Monica and Dakota bond.
Man-Ape captures Queen Divine Justice, who is "16."
Tuesday, February 19
PUNISHER v6 #7 (10-22)
On a "Tuesday" at "1 AM," Punisher goes to the warehouse only to discover it was rigged with explosives. He escapes and kills
the informant who sent him there. After he gets another lead, he kills a drug dealer, then slays Rosso. Short-sleeve weather.
INFINITY ABYSS #1-FB
INFINITY ABYSS #1
INFINITY ABYSS #2
INFINITY ABYSS #3
INFINITY ABYSS #4
INFINITY ABYSS #5
INFINITY ABYSS #6
Spidey gets involved in the Infinity Abyss adventure, which occurs over the course of eighteen hours. Green grass and trees are
seen in upstate New York in this series, but Spidey mentions that it is winter.
X-STATIX #10 - FB (15-17)
One day. Edie Sawyer joins a throng of X-Force fans and decides to become a X-Force member. It's supposed to be "March
19," but it may actually be February 19. We see green grass and trees in California.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #33 (1-19)
The day after BP3 32. T'Challa kicks Malice's butt. Queen Divine Justice escapes from Man-Ape. Green trees. Full moon.
WEAPON X: THE DRAFT - ZERO #1 (11-13)
One night, a "few weeks" after WX:Z 1 (10). Zero thinks back on his missions with Weapon X and toys with suicide in his
Weapon X quarters.
Wednesday, February 20
BLACK PANTHER v3 #33 (20-22)
The day after BP3 33 (1-19). The Thing pays a visit to Maria in Tibet. Queen Divine Justice stumbles onto a tribe that worships
her.
DAREDEVIL v2 #29-FB (5-8)
One day, a short time after DD2 27-FB (18-20). Kingpin inducts Sammy Silke into his organization personally and refuses
Silke's request to have Matt Murdock killed.
X-FORCE #117 - FB (11:4-11:5)
One day. Professor X provides Guy Smith with a special suit to help Smith control his mutant senses. Xavier appears here in a
Morrison leather outfit, perhaps the earliest chronological appearance of one of these new X-Men outfits.
AVENGERS ANNUAL 2001/2
One day. Jarvis answers e-mail queries from Duane Freeman. Timing is uncertain, but it must be sometime before Freeman's
death in the Kang attack on Washington in A3 49 (1-21). I've placed this close to A '01.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #40
One day, long enough after CA3 39 for the Madden case to go to a hearing.
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #22 - FB (7:2)
One day, "about a month" after PPTSS2 22-FB (7:1), Mindworm is a model prisoner at Ravencroft at the time Spidey talks to
Mindworm's parole officer. It is more than "a year or so" before PPTSS2 22.
Thursday, February 21
BLACK PANTHER v3 #34
Probably the day after BP3 33 (20-22). It is "about a year" after BP3 1 and thus about a year before BP3 62. Mephisto
continues to masquerade as Ross - it is long enough after BP3 30 for him to become an instant media sensation, appearing in
People Magazine (in what must have been a last-minute cover story). Ross, in Mephisto's body, seeks help from the Avengers
(who aren't home) and then Dr. Strange. Vibraxas tries to free Queen Divine Justice from Man-Ape, but fails. T'Challa and
Gyrich jet to Wakanda to face down Man-Ape, who tells Queenie aspects of her origin. Green trees in New York.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #35
The same day as BP3 34. The Surfer's appearance with the Defenders here, combined with Iron Fist's chronology (before TB
57), place these issues between DEF2 4 and 5.
MUTIES #4 (18:1)
One day. Renata takes the pregnant Jisa to a doctor for a checkup.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #38 (1-20)
One day. Peter, wearing a sweater, brings a stack of papers home to grade and Caryn, in her usual scant wardrobe, chases after
Barker. Later Spider-Man battles the Mimes. Brother Ian and Brother Richard from PPSM2 34 also appear in this issue.
Friday, February 22
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #38 (21-22)
The early morning after PPSM2 38 (1-20), Caryn sleeps holding the Teddy Bear Peter won for her in PPSM2 34 as Peter falls
asleep past midnight, marking papers for school.
THUNDERBOLTS #50 (38)
One day. Captain America assumes responsibility for leading the Redeemers program, which he does part-time until TB 54.
This commitment does not prevent him from having adventures outside the program. See below for the reason I put a continuity
break between pages 37 and 38 of TB 50. During that time, the V-Battalion is undertaking an investigation, pardons are being
processed for the Thunderbolts, SHIELD is determining the future of the Redeemer program, and Hawkeye sits in stir while the
legal wheels turn for his imprisonment.
CABLE v2 #100/2
One day, before C2 97. Nathan Summers is cured of the techno-organic virus.
Saturday, February 23
MARVEL DOUBLE-SHOT #3
One morning. Mr. Fantastic talks to his son about God. The nature of Reed's and Franklin's relationship here suggests that this
occurs prior to the whole Abraxas saga and the birth of Valeria. This must also occur after Reed dons his uniform with the raised
"4" symbol in FF3 39. We also need a "few days" of downtime before this for Reed to pull his old senior thesis out and modify
it. The interruption of Franklin's cartoons to report on Gaza Strip bombings suggests it is a Saturday morning.
PETER PARKER, SPIDER-MAN v2 #39 (1-3)
One day. After his wife states he'll be "out of town for the weekend," Congressman Bradley Miles loses his arm being attacked
by a mind-controlled octopus at the beach, the month previous to PPSM2 39 (4-15).
FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL 2001
One day, between FF3 45 (8-22) and FF3 46. Namorita appears. Tony Stark cameos, offering the aid of the Avengers.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 - FB - FB (23:3)
One night. M.J. is photographed at an event.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 - FB - FB (3:4)
The same night as SENSM@ 1-FB-FB (23:3). M.J. is photographed some more with Brady O'Brien.
SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL #1 - FB - FB (4:3)
The same night as SENSM@ 1-FB-FB (3:4). A drunk M.J. almost hooks up with Brady.
Sunday, February 24
PUNISHER v6 #8
Early one morning. Frank Castle has a dream about going back in time to kill Al Capone.
THUNDERBOLTS #50 (39-40)
One day, "two days" after TB 50 (38). It is "a week" before CV&VB 1 and TB 51.
AVENGERS v3 #41
One "weekend" day. This issue must occur between the time Stark gave up his company in IM3 41 and before he adopts the
Hogan Potts identity in IM3 42. Jan's dialog suggests that it is very shortly after IM3 41. Kang blows up the UN building,
which had been rebuilt since Noh-Varr's attack in M/BOY 2.
AVENGERS v3 #42
The same day as A3 41.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #46
The same day as A3 42. It is shortly after FF '01. Namorita makes another appearance in this storyline.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #47
The same day as FF3 46.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #48
The same day as FF3 47.
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #49
The same day as FF3 48. The Invisible Woman becomes pregnant and is nearly full-term. Galactus returns to the Marvel
continuum. As of FF3 49, the Torch can control his flame with the help of a special costume.
AVENGERS v3 #43
A3 43 continues directly from A3 42 and so occurs the same day as FF3 46-49. Attuma rules Atlantis, so it is after DEF2 2.
AVENGERS v3 #44 (1-18)
The same day as A3 43. Stingray, Scarlet Witch, Jack of Hearts and Hercules repel an Atlantean invasion at Prince Edward
Island. Warbird, Vision, Silverclaw, Black Widow and She-Hulk block an incursion of Deviant forces in China. Thor and
Firebird defeat the Presence in Russia.
AVENGERS ANNUAL 2001 (2:5-30)
The same night as A3 44 (1-18). With the assistance of Jonathan Tremont, Hank Pym is cured of his multiple personalities.
Justice and Firestar reveal themselves to Photon as spies among the Triune Understanding. Hawkeye's in jail and the Hulk's in
Virginia. The green grass and trees in New York must be topical. Full moon.
Monday, February 25
AVENGERS ANNUAL 2001 (31)
"A few hours" (early the morning) after A '01 (2-30). At sunrise with a full moon shown, the Wasp, Photon, Triathlon and Hank
Pym leave the Triune Understanding headquarters in Texas, where we see green grass and trees.
AVENGERS v3 #44 (19-22)
The same morning as A '01 (31). Russian authorities take the Presence away, and the Deviants are rounded up. Hank Pym is
fine now and appears in his Goliath uniform. After Attuma's troops are defeated, the Wasp resolves to contact Namor to find out
what's going on, so it can't be long after DEF2 2. The U.S. government is reconstructing Sentinels, its backup plan to defeat
Kang.
MUTIES #4 (18:2)
One day. Jisa has morning sickness.
X-MEN: LIFE LESSONS (1-11:3)
One day. The X-Men (Cyclops, Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Xavier) appear in their Morrison outfits, so this segment
must occur after X 113. That T-Ray is here rather than at the Massachusetts Academy may be an indication that this segment
occurs after the closing of the Academy in GX 75 (31-38), but that's not necessarily true. The X-Men's newest recruit, a teenage
boy code-named T-Ray, suffers burns on his face and arm in a Danger Room accident.
Tuesday, February 26
X-MEN: LIFE LESSONS (11:4-11:6)
The morning after X:LL (1-11). It is "one month" before X:LL (12-13). Terry is laid up from his injuries. Cyclops, Jean Grey,
and Xavier appear.
FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL 2001/2
One day, shortly after Franklin's return in FF3 46-49.
U.S.AGENT v2 #1-FB (2/3:6-2/3:8)
U.S.AGENT v2 #1-FB (4:5-4:6)
U.S.AGENT v2 #1-FB (5:5)
U.S.AGENT v2 #1-FB (6:5)

These five flashbacks show a scene with U.S.Agent and Valerie Cooper. Senator Warkowski of the Senate Appropriations
Committee is stated as being up for re-election.
U.S.AGENT v2 #1

IRON MAN v3 #42
One day, "a few short weeks" after IM3 41. Tony Stark is puttering around with armor modifications. The first appearance of
"Hogan Potts."

The same day as IM3 42. Stark meets Goliath in an essentially empty (except for Jarvis) Avengers Mansion.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12-FB (1:2-1:3)
Vincent Colorito, AKA Leapfrog, is released from Evansville penitentiary under house arrest. These scenes are shown on the TV
news in TW 12 (1-5) as happening "earlier today."
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12 (1-5)
The same day as TW 12-FB. At his aunt's house Eugene Colorito sees the news about his dad being released from prison earlier
and worries about the guys at school making fun of his father "tomorrow," then Vincent comes to pick up his son and move to
their own house. This story has some contradictions with already established facts about the characters' previous history.
Wednesday, February 27
FANTASTIC FOUR v3 #50
One day - the anniversary of the Fantastic Four, which would place this story in the same month as FF 1 and FF 296. Namorita
appears, as does She-Hulk. We see green trees and warm weather in New York, but these must be topical.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12 (6-11)
The day after TW 12 (1-5). On a "Wednesday," guys at school make fun of Eugene's dad. When he gets home Spider-Man
comes to check on Leapfrog, Vincent promises he is back on the straight and narrow for good. Typeface is mentioned. Green
trees.
IRON MAN v3 #44 (1-7)
The night of the day after IM3 43. Here we have the introduction of Stark's transitional armor. It actually is being slightly
modified throughout Iron Man's various appearances until Grell and Ryan introduce a new version in IM3 50. Iron Man
investigates the bombing of Askew Electronics, whose head, Calista Hancock, announces that the company's going out of
business as a result, putting "Hogan Potts" out of a job. Full moon.
Thursday, February 28
IRON MAN v3 #44 (8-22)
The day after IM3 44 (1-7). After "Hogan Potts" spends the night with Calista, Iron Man discovers that AIM is behind the
corporate bombings. He faces Modok and the Ghost.

The same day as IM3 44 (8-22). Iron Man takes out Modok and his AIM quarters and the Ghost escapes.
U.S.AGENT v2 #2
One day, shortly after USA2 1. Attuma is ruler of Atlantis here and makes the first of his attacks on the surface world. That fact,
plus Namor's presence in issue #2 places the series after Def2 4. Captain America shows up, at SHIELD's behest, probably
breaking from his duties with the Redeemers. Green grass and trees in Washington, DC.
U.S.AGENT v2 #3 (1-21)
The same day as USA2 2. U.S.Agent, with Captain America, defeats the Power Broker. Johnny Storm is shown here in control
of his flame, so this segment cannot occur during his constant flame state between FF3 44 and 49.
X-STATIX #10 - FB (18)
One day. Edie Sawyer prepares to become a member of X-Force. The reference to "March 28" may actually be to February 28.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12 (12-16)
The day after TW 12 (6-11). After another day of people's jokes about his father, Eugene gets home and finds out his father got
a job doing a commercial taking a beating from the owner of a car shop. He goes out and school kids throw frogs at him. He
decides to use one of the Frogman costumes. Green trees and blowing leaves.
Friday, March 1
IRON MAN v3 #45 (15-22)
The day after IM3 45 (1-14). Tony Stark publicly reveals his Hogan Potts identity and purchases Askew Electronics. Iron Man
exposes and defeats the Ghost. Stark shows his friends the new facility for Stark Enterprises and tells them he's aiming to get his
company back from Stark Fujikawa. He gets a telegram from Ty Stone. It is "weeks" before IM3 46.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12 (17-21)
The night of the day after TW 12 (12-16). Eugene goes out on patrol as Frogman on "Friday night" and tries to scare loitering
school kids at a gas station; when they are beating him up his father shows and rescues him. Full moon.

One night. Asleep at Doc Samson's house, Bruce Banner has a dream involving Joe Fixit and Devil Hulk.
INCREDIBLE HULK v3 #28
The same night as H3 27. Banner's dream concludes after Savage Hulk and Devil Hulk join in.
IRON MAN ANNUAL 2001/2
Probably the same night as IM3 45 (15-22), given the opening reference to events of the "last few days" and the fact that the
Daily Bugle headline is a reference to IM3 45 (8-22). The date on the newspaper looks like "Tuesday, October 8," but this must
be topical. Stark confronts Ty Stone about the telegram he received in IM3 45 (8-22), only to witness Rumiko reveal Stone's
dependence on his Dreamvision machine. Tony refuses to help Stone and spurns Rumiko, who then repents and dumps Stone.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #41 (1-20)
One night, shortly after CA3 40. It is "weeks" after CA3 37. This story must occur after A3 43 and probably after X 111. Full
moon.
TIGRA #1 (1-4)
One night. Greer Nelson visits her dead husband's grave on his birthday. Bare trees in the Bronx. Full moon.
PUNISHER v6 #9
It is either a Monday, Wednesday, or Friday night. The Punisher stumbles across a plot by a crime lord, the Medallion, to start a
huge war between rival New York taxis. Medallion dispatches a cabbie named Tjinder to kill rival cabbie Dylan in a cab
modified into a death machine by mechanic Mr. Badwrench. Four cabbies are noted as having been murdered "since November
17, 2001" (the year, of course, is topical). Full moon.
PUNISHER v6 #10 (1-4)
The same night as PUN6 9. The Punisher's taxi crashes and Dylan is killed. The building into which the cab crashes says,
"Waccio Comes Alive! Store Performance and Signing, March 25, 11 PM." Punisher kills Tjinder by gunning down his taxi.
Saturday, March 2
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #41 (21-22)
Early the morning after CA3 41 (1-20).
X-FORCE #116 - FB (2-5)
One day, after XS 10-FB (18) and XFO 117-FB (11:4-11:5), probably after IHM:MMH 1/2 (6-8), and shortly before XFOR
116. I'm allowing a few weeks between XFO 115 and XFOR 116-FB (2-5) for the X-Force name to be co-opted and the team
assembled; this is feasible, given the major point in this series that the media can create overnight sensations, and besides, given
the old X-Force's low profile, the concept of a new team may have been in the works for a while. The new X-Force battle a coup
in North Africa and Sluk is killed. Axel is twenty-seven years old.
PUNISHER v6 #10 (5-22)
The day after PUN6 10 (1-4). In an attempt to solve the cabbie killings (which have been going on "since November"), Punisher
goes undercover to get a job as a cab driver - at the Medallion's front company. From a cartoon in the Daily Bugle regarding
Dylan's and Tjinder's deaths, Medallion concludes that the Punisher must die. Then he learns that the Punisher has become an
employee.

One night in Sarawak, Iron Man finds himself wanted by the government there, which wants the transitional armor. After a street
scuffle, Stark is arrested, then freed by Anna Wei.
SPIDER-MAN'S TANGLED WEB #12 (22)
The night of the day after TW 12 (17-21). On "Saturday night" Vincent Colorito hears about his son's excursion as Frogman
making the local news and worries about people making fun of him.
TIGRA #1 (5-17)
The night of the day after TIGRA 1 (1-4). Tigra has her first run-in with the Brethren of the Blue Fist and discovers they're
rogue cops. She goes to Avengers Mansion to get some intel and approval from Cap and the Wasp to investigate. I've placed
Cap here between CA3 41 and 42, both of which also feature full moons.
Sunday, March 3
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #42-FB
One morning, shortly after CA3 41 (21-22), given the full moon in both CA3 41 and 42.
PUNISHER v6 #11
Perhaps the day after PUN6 10 (5-22). The Medallion schemes against the Punisher, while the Punisher outwits a couple sent by

The same night as CA3 42-FB. Full moon.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #43
The same night as CA3 42.

The same night as CA3 43. Taskmaster refers to the Avengers raiding his operations, which we see in A3 38, so I place CA3 41-
44 after A3 38. Taskmaster must appear here before TM 1. Full moon.
UNCANNY X-MEN #394 (1-2)
One night. Warp Savant has big plans for his birthday "tomorrow."
Monday, March 4
IRON MAN ANNUAL 2001 (14-31)
The day after IM '01 (12-13). The Sawakan government finds the transitional armor and Tony Stark and Anna Wei retireve it.
The Avengers come to the rescue and Iron Man has them bring him, Anna and her son to San Francisco, where Tony Stark offers
them a new life. It is "weeks" before IM3 46.
PUNISHER v6 #12
The day after PUN6 11. Punisher kills Mr. Badwrench, then after being pursued by the Medallion's cabbies, crashes into the
crime lord's building and kills him.

One day.
THUNDERBOLTS #51
The same day as CV&VB 1.
CITIZEN V AND THE V-BATTALION #2

at his job. Captain Marvel drops in on Songbird. Mentallo saves Clint Barton from a fight at Seagate Prison and proposes a deal
with Clint to help him escape. It is "a couple of weeks" before TB 54. Full moon.

roof of a hotel in Beverly Hills, where we see green grass and trees. Logan and Scott Summers appear at the opening of the
twenty-first X-Force cafe.
IRON MAN v3 #48 - FB (6:4)
One day. Ultron Mark 12, planning to steal Stark's SKIN technology, has the mind-controlled Sun Tao outfitted in a replica of
the sentient armor and sends him to attack Askew Electronics as a diversion.
IRON MAN v3 #46 (3-15)
The same day as IM3 48-FB (6:4), "three weeks" after IM3 46 pg. 1-2. Hank Pym, as Goliath, tells Tony that his artificial heart
is evolving. Tony learns about the Church of Yinsen, established "a few weeks" earlier, right after pages 1-2. Iron Man is
alerted to the attack at Askew and battles a mind-controlled Sun Tao, defeats him, and learns that the SKIN technology has been
stolen from Askew. He suspects that the armor Sun Tao wears is not the original sentient armor. Right after this, Tony doffs the
transitional armor, puts on the classic armor and takes the transitional armor to Avengers Mansion to do some testing behind the
scenes. Meanwhile, Hank shops with Jan behind the scenes.

Tony, in classic armor, is still testing ("tinkering with") the transitional armor, which is in pieces, when he's called upon to join
the rest of the Avengers to deal with Alkhema. The Avengers discover they have "twenty hours" to solve a mystery. Iron Man
gets Hawkeye out of Seagate Prison (so it's before TB 54) to deal with Alkhema and very early the next morning, the Avengers
head to Greece and Egypt, arriving at "dawn" local time. In Egypt, the Avengers battle Alkhema and the Ultron she
inadvertently creates. The confrontation ends with an explosion, the Avengers depart, and Antigone fetches the Ultron head from
the rubble.
IRON MAN v3 #48 - FB (4:6)
Immediately after A:UI, Ultron Mark 12, posing as Yinsen come back to life, dispatches the Sons of Yinsen (apparently without
Sun Tao) to fetch the Ultron head from Antigone. Ultron downloads the head behind the scenes.

Tuesday of March. U.S.Agent's suspension is lifted.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #45 - FB (6-13)
I'll say it's the afternoon of the day the Avengers return from the battle with Alkhema. Nick Fury has resumed his job as
Director of SHIELD, so this flashback must occur after CA:SL 1. He visits Cap, who is back at Avengers Mansion training. Cap
and Sharon Carter get put on the case to take the Helicarrier back from the Red Skull, who's had it for "a few months."
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #45 - FB (14-17)

Thursday, March 7
X-FORCE #117
Possibly the day after XFO 117-FB (4-6). The new X-Force roster is announced at a press conference that is interrupted by
Cannonball, Meltdown, Warpath, and Domino. Coach announces that the team's new leader is newcomer Orphan, to the outrage
of U-Go Girl.

Mansion assisting Cap as Cap finds the Helicarrier in the depths of the Gulf of Mexico.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #46 - FB (10-14)
One hour after CA3 46-FB (2/3-9), Nick Fury encounters Hauser.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #46 - FB (15-21)
Two hours after CA3 46-FB (10-14), Cap boards the Helicarrier while Iron Man monitors from Avengers Mansion. Apparently,
Cap wonders the decks for eighteen (!!) hours before the Helicarrier surfaces, and Cap encounters the Skull, who ejects Cap from
the Helicarrier.

CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #47 - FB (16-21)
23 minutes after CA3 47-FB (13-15), Cap, Sharon and Namor have infiltrated the Helicarrier and attack the Skull. The identity
of the Hate Monger is revealed.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #48 - FB (4-17:4)
About an hour after CA3 47-FB (16-21), Cap, Sharon and Namor are prisoners of the Skull and Hate Monger. They escape,
battle the bad guys, save the day, and reclaim the Helicarrier, "almost three days" before CA3 45-48. Cap disappears with a
transport to go on "a special mission." Since SHIELD reclaims the Helicarrier here, this flashback must occur before M/K 14.
IRON MAN v3 #46 (16-22)
Right after CA3 48-FB (4-17), Iron Man, satisfied that his obligation to Cap has been met now that the day is saved, goes to
check on Sun-Tao at Stark Enterprises. According to my calculations, it has been three days since IM3 46 (1-15). Tony
confirms that Sun Tao is mind-controlled and that the armor is a reproduction of the sentient armor. After studying and adapting
the SKIN technology for three days, Ultron, as "Yinsen," goes with the Sons of Yinsen come to retrieve Sun Tao and confront
Iron Man.
IRON MAN v3 #47
Iron Man battles the Sons while Sun Tao snaps out of it. The Sons seize Sun Tao, then Jocasta comes back and helps Iron Man
take the battle to the Sons. Ultron reveals himself.

leaving the Sons to dispatch Sun Tao and Iron Man. Our heroes defeat the Sons and return to Stark Enterprises. Tony tries to
reach the Avengers for help, but they're "off dealing with Kang" (during the gap between A3 44 and 45). That night, Sun Tao
and Iron Man head to a stormy Las Vegas, where they defeat Ultron. Unbeknownst to our heroes, Antigone ends up in a hospital
with Ultron's head.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #38
One day.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #39
The same day as BP3 38.
BLACK PANTHER v3 #40
The same day as BP3 39. Panther and Danny Rand battle each other and the Black Dragon. Iron Fist regains his powers,
justifying Graviton's taking him out later in TB 57. Nightshade discovers T'Challa of the future and he assumes the role of king
of Wakanda.
PUNISHER v6 #13 - FB
One night, "two days" before PUN6 13. As Kevin's "girlfriend" hasn't been around "all week," this flashback probably occurs at
the end of a week. At Lucky's Bar, Soap tries to convince Punisher to go to Colombia to save mobster Don Casino, who is held
hostage by guerillas. Soap is then approached by ex-con Bubba Prong and they leave the bar together.
Friday, March 8
PUNISHER v6 #14 - FB (7, 10-11)
The day after PUN6 13-FB. It is several days before PUN6 3 14 (17). After awakening in Bubba's apartment, Soap is attacked

Paco.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #45
Two days after IM3 48, as a result of Cap's "special mission," Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan take a hovercar to an island in
the North Sea to observe a funeral.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #46
Nick and Dum Dum are joined by Sharon Carter and then the Avengers, including Iron Man, show up. We see green grass and
trees on that North Sea island.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #47
Namor joins the group and remarks that he hasn't recovered Atlantis yet (so it's between Def2 2 and 11). They yack amid those
green trees.
CAPTAIN AMERICA v3 #48
The group talks. Iron Man says that the Helicarrier was stolen by the Skull "several months ago." Cap arrives with Bucky's
sister and he unveils a commemorative statue of Bucky sculpted by Alicia Masters. This story probably occurs before XU 48/2.
Saturday, March 9
X-FORCE #119 (17-22)
The day after XFO 119 (1-16). Orphan goes to Buenos Aires to give Saint Anna's father a gift from his deceased daughter and to
