![]() YEAR 22 Tuesday, July 1 NEW X-MEN #151 (20-21) One day. Scott stands over Jean's grave. We see bare trees and leaves on the ground, which probably are topical. NEW X-MEN #151 (22) ~ NEW X-MEN #154 (22) The same day as X 151 (20-21). This segment must occur after Emma's appearance in UX 442. The Xorn/Magneto affair happened "this past year." Scott mentions that "Professor X has retired" - this may be a reference to Xavier's stepping down as headmaster, a decision he announced in X 138 (10-14), but not to Xavier's leaving, which he does not know until X 155. At Jean's grave, Emma Frost tries to convince Scott to reopen Xavier's school. The bare trees and autumn leaves on the ground are probably topical, and who knows why Emma's wearing a fur coat and hat. NEW X-MEN #154 (23) The same day as X 154 (22). This segment probably occurs before W3 7. Thanks to the intercession of the deceased Jean Grey, seeking to avoid a bleak future (portrayed in X 151-154), Scott accepts Emma as his lover. We see blowing autumn leaves, which probably are topical. NEW X-MEN #155 The same day as X 154 (23). Scott asks Hank if Xavier is "planning on rebuilding the school," which is seen in ruins after its destruction in X 147-FB (20-21). Hank answers that "he's left that up to us, Scott. He's gone to Genosha with Logan...and I'm not sure he's ever coming back." This dialog suggests that Xavier's departure was very recent, and Scott and Emma are probably here right after the completion of the rescue effort referenced in UX 442; Hank may have been stationed at the Institute. Emma wants to restart the school, but Scott and Hank aren't enthusiastic about the idea; there are no construction vehicles or any sign of rebuilding at the Institute. Emma and the Cuckoos encounter mutant haters torching the temporary shelter for school survivors in Salem Center - last seen in NM2 13 (3-23) - while Scott and Hank discover that Cassandra Nova was freed from her force field prison when the school was destroyed. The falling autumn leaves are probably topical. NEW X-MEN #156 (1-22:3) The same day as X 155. It is "several days" before X 156 (22-24). Hank and Scott argue, then respond to Emma's summons for help against the attack on the shelter, where a mutant boy named Germaine is killed. The experience convinces Scott to join Emma in rebuilding the Institute. Since we see the Institute under reconstruction in XX 46 (12-23), this segment must occur before then. Green trees in Westchester. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #2/2 - FB One day. Spidey fights and defeats the Rhino, who endangers a school bus full of kids; the bus may not necessarily be for the normal school year. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #2/2 The same day as SMU 2/2-FB. Mary Jane has an acting gig, so this story likely occurs after her first disastrous attempt at getting an acting job in ASM 505 (10-22). M.J. ponders her worth as she considers Peter's contributions as Spidey; it would make sense for this to occur after she loses the acting gig in ASM 505. Waning crescent moon. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #3 (1-5) One night, shortly after A/TB 2. The Thunderbolts force the Wizard to give them his anti-gravity discs. Wednesday, July 2 AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #3 (6-22) The day after A/TB 3 (1-5). It is "all these months" after TB 75 (24-37). Hawkeye discovers that the Avengers have been spying on the Thunderbolts, and while Karla grows suspicious of "Cobalt Man," Tony starts seeing things from the Thunderbolts' perspective. The Thunderbolts infiltrate the Magneto protocol array above the earth and construct a Liberator, a device that drains transnormal energy across the planet. Green vegetation in New York. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #4 The same day as A/TB 3 (6-22). The Liberator collects energy from sources all over earth and the Avengers rush to Thunderbolts HQ to stop it. The two teams battle, Tony Stark's ruse is exposed, and the collected energy in the Liberator is transferred to Moonstone, who unleashes it. Reed and Sue Richards cameo. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #5 The same day as A/TB 4. It is "a few months" before TB 105. As Moonstone comes unglued and threatens the world with her power, the Avengers and Thunderbolts try to stop her. Zemo gets burned saving Cap, then Jolt appears from Counter-Earth and Hawkeye must decide to help or fight Karla. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #6 (1-16) The same day as A/TB 5. It is "weeks" before A/TB 6 (17-20). The Avengers battle the Thunderbolts over Moonstone's fate, and ultimately the threat becomes so dire that Hawkeye must sacrifice her mind to defeat her. Zemo absconds with Karla's gemstones. X-TREME X-MEN #46 (12-23) One day, shortly after NM2 13 (3-23). This segment must occur before XU2 3 (1-2), M/KSM 6 (4-22), and EX3 46. The X- Treme team assist with recovery, not rescue, efforts (and thus probably post-UX 442) in New York City, where we see Cyclops, Cap, and Thor (in classic costume and thus after the Reigning); these efforts may have been going on for days since the arrival of the X-Treme team after XX 46 (1-11). Storm flies from the city to Xavier's, where we see some reconstruction already occurring; this places this segment after X 156 (1-22). After encountering Archangel there, Storm heads to Harry's Hideaway, where she meets up with the original New Mutants. The X-Treme team and the New Mutants gather for dinner in the complex beneath the destroyed mansion; this is another clue that this segment occurs after X 156 (1-22), as the Cassandra Nova situation must have occurred before now - the basement levels may now be considered a safe place and the mutants displaced by the torching of the Salem Center X-Corps building may now be residing here. Dani turns down Sam's offer to be an X-Man and Storm rallies the X-Treme team to join her as XSE marshals. Rachel renames herself Marvel Girl. Green grass and trees in New York. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #509 One day. It is not long after "June 23, 2004," the postmark date of a letter that Peter receives, presumably written by Gwen Stacy around ASM 119-120. M.J. gets a part in a play that is referenced in M/KSM 5, so this story must occur before M/KSM 1. That rainy night, Peter visits Gwen's grave and is attacked by two mysterious figures, from whom he escapes. We see green, leafy trees and bare trees in New York. Full moon. Thursday, July 3 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #510 The day after ASM 509. "It's Thursday." The two mysterious figures, Gabriel and Sarah, lure Spidey into a bomb trap which Spidey survives. Spidey has Lieutenant Lamont analyze Gwen's letter for tracings of a second page; they discover that Gwen was pregnant and delivered twins Gabriel and Sarah, who, according to my calculations are nearly 17 years old (their birth occurring around ASM 94-98). May makes a comment that suggests that it is "June," which may be close. WEAPON X v2 #18 - FB One day, "several weeks" before WX 18. Cyclops notes that Cable "recently informed" the X-Men that Neverland is a myth, following WX2 13; this flashback likely occurs after WX:DOFN 3-FB (6-7). Logan mentions the files he accessed in the Weapon Plus compound, which places this flashback after X 146, and by extension, after X 150 (30-31). Logan tells the X-Men that it's time to take down Weapon X and that the way to do it is to plant a mole in the organization. Among those gathered is Xavier, who is sitting, though not in a wheelchair; he must be crippled at this point, given that this flashback must occur after X 150 (30-31). Chamber volunteers to be the mole. WEAPON X v2 #15 Perhaps the same day as WX2 18-FB. We see one corner of the Xavier Institute, in which Chamber's room is located; this structure must be part of the new facility, not the one destroyed in X 147-FB. Chamber's act to get him noticed by Weapon X goes into effect: he causes trouble in a Manhattan bar and the X-Men - Cyclops, Archangel, Husk, Wolverine, and Iceman (who must be using an image inducer to make himself look normal) - try to talk him down, but when Jono lashes out at them, they subdue him and hand him over to the authorities. "Hours later," Brent Jackson shows up in Chamber's prison cell to offer him a place in Weapon X. We surmise that after this point, Logan spends most of the summer away from the Institute. We see green grass and trees and warm picnic weather at Xavier's, but we also see autumn leaves, which must be topical. X-STATIX #19 (1-5) One night. Vivisector and his actor boyfriend Brandon Cody attend a premiere of Cody's first movie. Dr. Finlay tells Xavier he's terminating his employment at Xavier's lab. Xavier is in a wheelchair here, so this segment must occur after X 150 (1-31). Friday, July 4: Independence Day AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #511 The day after ASM 510. Peter thinks that any children of Gwen's would "still be children." When Peter runs a DNA test, he encounters Sarah and discovers she looks just like Gwen did. Peter confirms that Gabriel and Sarah are Gwen's kids, then M.J. finds out what's going on and tells Peter she knows who the father is. Green grass and trees. Full moon. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #512 (1-21:1) The same day as ASM 511. Mary Jane tells Peter that Norman Osborn is the father of Gwen's kids. X-STATIX #19 (6-9) Probably the night of the day after XS 19 (1-5). Finlay offers Vivisector a formula that will eliminate his mutant powers. Lacuna miraculously emerges from her coma on the set of her TV show. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #2 (1-13) One night, two weeks after DD:F 1 (16-26). Nero watches the late night news at home. The news highlight is about the serial killer dubbed "Johnny Sockets" on the loose in New York City, having committed "the third such murder in as many weeks." The news also notes the shift of crime from Hell's Kitchen to other parts of New York (reflective of Daredevil becoming the new Kingpin); this shift is detailed in DD2 56. A woman enters the room and tells Nero it's time to go to the club. Matt (no goatee) can't sleep because of the heat and quietness of his neighborhood, so he goes on patrol as Daredevil, which he admits is pointless, since he's "kicked the bad guys out of Hell's Kitchen." He investigates a commotion in Chelsea, where he sees criminals tied up on the ground as the police arrive. Detective Chris Gonzalez is told by another police officer that the criminals are part of a drug ring that a group of new super-heroes called the Santerians apparently just busted up. It is "day twenty of what's being called the deadliest heat wave in New York history." Saturday, July 5 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #512 (21:2-22) The morning after ASM 512 (1-21). Determining that Gwen's kids are dying, Peter vows to find and save them. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #513 The same day as ASM 512 (21-22). This story must occur before M/KSM 1 (1-15). To find Gabriel and Sarah, Spidey holds a press conference and arranges to meet them at the Brooklyn Bridge. Spidey tells the twins the truth about their father, but while Sarah believes Spidey, Gabriel doesn't. Spidey kicks Gabriel off the bridge and saves Sarah from falling off the bridge after she is shot by a cop. As Spidey takes Sarah to the hospital, Gabriel heads to a subterranean chamber where he finds Goblin costumes left for him and Sarah by Norman. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #514 The same day as ASM 513. It is "two days" before ASM 515 (1-15) and must be more than just "several weeks" before PPTSS2 23 (2). Gabriel takes up the mantle of the Green Goblin after he listens to a taped message from his father and injects himself with the Goblin serum, which halts his accelerated aging process. Meanwhile at the hospital, Spidey saves Sarah's life by donating his blood. When Spidey recovers, M.J. tells him that there is a five million dollar reward for a picture of him without his mask on; this can't be the same reward as was offered in M/KSM 5-8. A now-crazed Gabriel attacks Spidey and when Sarah steps in to help the wall-crawler, she is forced to shoot down Gabriel's glider into the harbor. Sarah leaves, Spidey passes out, and an amnesiac Gabriel washes up on a nearby shore, where it is warm enough for a family to wear bathing suits. X-STATIX #19 (10) Probably the day after XS 19 (6-9). Finlay runs some tests on Vivisector. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #2 - FB (14:1-14:3, 14:5-14:7, 15:2-15:4, 16:1-16:3, 16:5-16:7, 17:2-17:4) Perhaps the night of the day after DD:F 2 (1-13). Johnny Sockets kills a woman in a back alley behind a night club and is chased off by a bouncer. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #2 (14-17) The same night as DD:F 2-FB. Nero watches TV news coverage of the murder that Johnny Sockets committed. Sunday, July 6 X-STATIX #19 (11-15) Probably the day after XS 19 (10). Vivisector gets into an altercation with his teammates when he announces his intention to take Finlay's formula. Anarchist's face is slashed and Guy needs to be placed in a sensory depravation chamber "for a few days." NEW X-MEN #156 (22:4-24) One day, "several days" after X 156 (1-22). Scott apologizes to Jean at her grave. We see green and bare trees and fallen autumn leaves at Xavier's, which is under reconstruction and is clearly not finished, despite Scott's statement that "we've rebuilt the school." Members of the Uncanny team appear here. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #2 (18-20) The night of the day after DD:F 2 (14-17). Because Jessica is a private eye here, this segment must occur before PULSE 1 (3- 22). At "10:58 PM," Matt and Foggy review their latest case with client Maggie Farrell. Sitting in as well is Jessica Jones (not visibly pregnant), who Matt is trying to bring in as a private investigator for the case. When they see that Maggie has a black eye, Matt inquires about spousal abuse, but Maggie denies it and storms out of the office. Monday, July 7 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #515 - FB (2:3) One morning. Peter kisses M.J. on his way to work. AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #515 (1-15) The same day as ASM 516-FB (2:3). It is "two days" after ASM 514 and "a little over two years" after ASM 515 FB (8:4). This segment occurs before PPTSS2 23 (1-9) and must occur before SM/RS 1. It is a school day, probably during a summer school session; this may be confirmed by the fact that Peter has to substitute teach a "remedial citizenship" class. Charlie Weiderman shows up to Peter's school and gets Peter to agree to be a reference for an interview he wants to line up with Tony Stark; Weiderman wants money to fund the development of a military skinsuit he conceived. Peter hesitantly agrees out of guilt, and Charlie tells Peter he'll send Peter "all the data I've got so far, care of your aunt, since I've still got her address" - this is likely May's Forest Hills address, an indication that this segment occurs before M/KSM 1 (1-15), especially given that ASM 509 occurs before M/KSM 5. X-STATIX #19 (16:1-16:3) Probably the night of the day after XS 19 (11-15). Cody states that "the first weekend box-office" for his movie was abysmal, so it's probably early in the week following the movie opening in XS 19 (1-5). Vivisector takes Cody out to dinner. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #2 (21-30) Probably the night after DD:F 2 (18-20). Matt spies on Maggie and Sean at their house in Hoboken. Maggie and Sean have a fight and Sean leaves the house. Sean says he likes to go for walks in the city, but Maggie accuses him of having another lover. Matt follows Sean to New York City and leaps from rooftop to rooftop in an effort to spy on him. Suddenly, he is blasted out of the sky by an energy attack and falls to the ground. A bunch of costumed characters stand over the fallen Murdock, ready to kick butt. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #3 (1-10) The same night as DD:F 2 (21-30). Matt has been attacked by the Santerians, a new group of NYC super-heroes whose powers are magical/voodoo in origin. The leader of the Santerians, Eluggua, says that Matt the Kingpin has cleaned up crime in Hell's Kitchen, but he's simply pushed all of the crime into other districts. Eluggua then asks Matt what he's going to do about Johnny Sockets, and Matt says nothing, since Johnny Sockets isn't killing people in Hell's Kitchen. Eluggua calls Matt a fake and they fight. The Santerians beat up Matt and leave him alone. Matt wakes up in the alley later on and hears word that Johnny Sockets has struck again. Tuesday, July 8 X-STATIX #19 (16:4-18) Probably the day after XS 19 (16). Guy is in his sensory depravation chamber, so it's within "a few days" after XS 19 (11-15). Vivisector takes Finlay's formula and demonstrates his loss of power on Lacuna's TV show. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #1 One day. Doc Ock tries to rob a bank, but is thwarted by an impregnable vault. When he discovers that a youth named Brigham Fontaine is responsible for the vault design, Ock goes after him at a party that night. Despite Spidey's intervention, Doc Ock abducts Fontaine. Peter and M.J. are back together, and it is likely this story occurs after ASM 501. It is Mary Jane's birthday, so this story must occur the same calendar day as PPTSS @ 9/3 (1-10). Peter mentions that he tutored Fontaine "last year at Midtown High;" this indicates that Peter has been teaching for at least a year, and this placement puts this story after Peter's second year of teaching. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #2 (1-3) The same day as SM/DO:OR 1. Doc Ock convinces Fontaine to help him break into the bank vault. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #3 (11-32) The day after DD:F 3 (1-10). Matt stays home from work (so it's probably a weekday) and spends the day recovering from his wounds. He calls up Maggie and Sean Farrell, his latest clients, and asks Maggie to meet him tomorrow. That night he goes out and tracks down the Santerians and he starts to battle them again to show them who the boss of Hell's Kitchen is. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #4 (1-9) The same night as DD:F 3 (11-22). Daredevil battles the Santerians again and defeats them. They call a truce and go their separate ways. Wednesday, July 9 SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #2 (4-22) The day after SM/DO:OR 2 (1-3). Dock Ock attacks the U.S. Army Center Research Lab to fetch materials that Fontaine needs, and Spidey fails to stop them. Ock takes Fontaine to an underground lab where Fontaine whips up a belt with the power to destroy the bank vault. Spidey finds him there, and after a tussle with Ock, "rescues" Fontaine from Ock. Later, Peter chats with M.J. and Fontaine voluntarily returns to Ock at his Pier 75 lab. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #3 (1-4) The same day as SM/DO:OR 2 (4-22). Fontaine offers to help Dr. Octopus. X-STATIX #19 (19-22) Probably the day after XS 19 (16-18). Cody leaves Vivisector and X-Statix boots him from the team. As X-Statix battle mutated loggers in Newfoundland, Finlay intends to become the next Vivisector with Miles' genetic material. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #4 (10-28) The day after DD:F 4 (1-9). Matt meets with Maggie Farrell to discuss her lawsuit. Matt asks her if she's being abused by her husband Sean. She denies it and fires Matt. That night, Johnny Sockets kills his latest victim. At Nero's residence, Nero watches the evening news again. Barry Fling is interviewing the new Police Commissioner Chris Gonzalez about the Johnny Sockets crime-wave. Daredevil breaks into Nero's residence and says he's figured out that Nero is Eleggua. Daredevil asks why Nero fights crime, and Nero explains. Nero asks Daredevil to help catch Johnny Sockets, and Daredevil leaves, refusing to help. The TV news reports that the police might have a suspect in the Johnny Sockets case. Tony Stark has a fund-raiser on this night. It is baseball season, since a newspaper headline states, "Mets slide continues." Green shrubs and light clothing. Thursday, July 10 DAREDEVIL: FATHER #5 (4:3-13) The day after DD:F 4 (10-28). It is "a couple of years" after DD saved Guida from the Matador. Matt is at his office when FBI agent Guida barges in and demands to speak with Matt. He tells Matt that the FBI has received its first lead in the Johnny Sockets case - an old address book that belonged to Matt. It contains the addresses of many of Matt's former clients, all victims of Sockets. Matt figures out that the book was stolen from his office. Guida returns the book to Matt and warns Matt the FBI might be paying him a visit soon to ask him about the murders. Matt examines the book and picks up the scent of Sean Farrell's cologne. Guida leaves and Matt calls up Maggie and tries to warn her, but Sean hangs up the phone on her. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #6 - FB (8:5) The same day as DD:F 5 (4-13). Maggie sneaks up on Sean to stab him. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #5 (14-25) The same day as DD:F 6-FB (8:5). Matt has a limo driver take him to the Farrells' house in New Jersey, but when he gets there, he breaks inside to find Sean bleeding to death and talking about how he was always jealous of Matt. Matt figures out that it's Maggie, not Sean, who is the Johnny Sockets killer. Sean tells Matt that Maggie is heading to his law office. Matt races back to New York City. At the law office, Maggie drugs Foggy and prepares to pluck out his eyes. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #6 (1-13) The same day as DD:F 5 (14-25). It is probably a few days before DD:F 6 (14-24). It can't be "two years" after DD:F 6-FB (7:2-7:3). Matt races back to his law office to prevent Maggie Farrell, who he has discovered is the serial killer "Johnny Sockets," from killing Foggy Nelson. He busts in just in time and Maggie goes into a rant about how it's Matt's fault that she's had such a cruel life, and thus it's his fault that she's a serial killer. The FBI bursts in, and when Maggie tries to surrender, one of the Feds accidently shoots her in a moment of panic. As she dies, she whispers a secret in Matt's ear that she's the daughter of the blind man young Matt Murdock saved from being hit by a truck of radioactive chemicals. This man molested young Maggie as a little girl, and this would've been prevented if Matt had not saved the old man from being hit by the truck. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #3 (5-22) Probably the day after SM/DO:OR 3 (1-4). Ock and Fontaine successfully break into the bank vault (on a day the bank is open) and steal the contents. News reports force Peter to end his and M/J.'s "make-up trip." Ock and Fontaine break into Central Bank Research Center so Fontaine can give Ock more power. Spidey intervenes but is defeated when Fontaine assist Ock. The bad guys head back to Ock's lair where they argue. Fontaine heads to a TV station with a plot and a weapon up his sleeve. Green trees and brown grass. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #4 The same day as SM/DO:OR 3 (5-22). Spidey and Doc Ock show up at the TV station and in the ensuing battle, Fontaine's mind is taken over by his weapon, which seeks a greater power source. Spidey and Ock follow Fontaine to a power plant. SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #5 (1-21) The same night as SM/DO:OR 4. Spidey pursues Ock and Brigham to a chemical plant, then a nuclear plant, where Brigham almost becomes one with the machine, then nearly dies before being saved by Ock, who is defeated by Spidey. Full moon. Friday, July 11 SPIDER-MAN/DOCTOR OCTOPUS: OUT OF REACH #5 (22) The day after SM/DO:OR 5 (1-21). Recuperating in the hospital, Brigham talks to news reporters. PUNISHER: BLOODY VALENTINE #1 - FB (8-10) One day, sometime before P:RX 1 (4-7). Vincent Carraciola kills Suspiria's husband and kidnaps her daughter. It's a sunny day on the beach in Italy. FRANKLIN RICHARDS SUPER SUMMER SPECTACULAR #1/3 One day. Franklin's parents call him for dinner, but he and Herbie have switched bodies. After flying around town they switch
back to normal, but Franklin remembers HERBIE's security codes. The FF appear in their classic costumes (blue suit with black
gloves, boots, belts, and neck-areas, and a blue 4 on the chest on a white circle). Short sleeve weather in New York City. Saturday, July 12 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #3 One day. After a chance encounter with Spidey, a boy decides not to hold up a store. X-STATIX #20 (1-9) One day. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #6 - FB (2:1) One day, "a few months" before NC3 6 (2:2-2:3). Ghosts are starting to appear in the New York subway more frequently. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #7 - FB (15-16) One day, "a few months" after CA5 7-FB (11-14). Nomad beats up suspected perps, then wakes up in a hotel room and feels himself going insane. FRANKLIN RICHARDS SUPER SUMMER SPECTACULAR #1/4 One day. After being denied a trampoline for the roof of the Baxter Building, Franklin uses a molecular density recalibrator to
simulate bouncing. He accidentally bounces of the roof and past the White House, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the St. Louis
Arch, and Mt. Rushmore, and ends up at the Grand Canyon. With the device broken, Franklin has to ride Herbie to get home. Sunday, July 13 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #3/2 One morning. This story must occur before M/KSM 3-FB (15:2). Spidey battles and defeats the Vulture. X-STATIX #20 (10-21) The day after XS 20 (1-9). Myles flies to New Hampshire to attend his father's sixtieth birthday party. The new Vivisector crashes the party and tries to kill Myles' father, but Myles saves his dad and Finlay is killed. X-Statix retrieves Myles and teleports him to their headquarters, where Myles uses good feelings, not anger, to turn back into Vivisector. X-MEN/RUNAWAYS #A/2 One day. To get Franklin to stop playing so many video games, Sue gives him the comic book "Protectors of Peace" to read.
Franklin uses a machine to bring the characters to life, and when it's over he lets his mom know that it was more exciting than
video games. Sue appears in her classic FF costume. One night, several days prior to W/P 1 (17-20). Contract killer Harvey Long breaks out of prison and learns of a sanctuary called Erewhon from a guy named Gottlieb. Long begins his trip to Erewhon the day after this flashback, and it took Napoleon at least three days to get there in the traveling montage before this -- so either this full moon is incorrect, or the one in the main body of the series is, or it takes a full month for Harvey to get to Erewhon. Green grass. DAREDEVIL: FATHER #6 (14-24:7) One night, probably a few days after DD:F 6 (1-13). Matt is in costume, which must be an exception to his giving up the costumed identity during this time. As Daredevil swings across rooftops on patrol, he spots the Santerians busting a criminal gang. He moves on and pays a visit to Maggie Farrell's dad, who he informs of his daughter's death. Matt tells him he knows he molested her, and the old man breaks down crying. Monday, July 14 EXILES #46 One day, "weeks" after EX3 46-FB. New York City appears normal, so this story must occur after XX 46 (12-23) and the city's rebuilding likely took a remarkably short time. The Institute is a building site; they've made considerable headway on rebuilding it, but it's obviously very far from finished. The Exiles return to the mainstream Marvel Universe and are given a new member, Namora, and a mission to leave their possessions and earn their wings. Namora rebels and seeks aid from Namor, who brings her to the Fantastic Four, who in turn imprison her. The Exiles drop by the Xavier Institute and run into Beak. The Tallus informs them that they must rescue Namora. Also appearing are Angel Salvadore and her brood, Beast, Nightcrawler, and Juggernaut in his gray and gold costume. Green grass and trees at Westchester. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #4 (1-10) One day. Powerhouse and Masterblaster try to rob a bank, but Spidey defeats them. A bystander falls for Powerhouse. Green trees. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #4/2 One day, "two years" after SMU2 4/2-FB. Thomas Mitford tries in vain to get Joseph Waking-Bear to join his hospital staff. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #6 (17-20) One day, "weeks" after A/TB 6 (1-16). This segment occurs "two months" before TB2 1 and "months" before TB2 8 (7-21). Given the presence of Hawkeye with no armored sleeve, this segment must occur before DD2 61 (3-5), M/KSM 2, HAWK3 1 (3- 17), and A3 77. The catatonic Karla is in the Avengers' infirmary. Jolt decides to return to Counter-Earth. Smithers returns to Seagate Penitentiary and Jenkins is released from prison, vowing to start up the Thunderbolts again. Melissa turns down an offer to join the Avengers and Eric gives up his powers. Warbird offers Dallas a job with the DHS. AVENGERS/THUNDERBOLTS #6 (23) Probably the same day as A/TB 6 (17-20). This segment occurs before TB2 17-FB (16:3), TB 101-FB, and TB 106-FB. In Germany, Zemo takes up his mask and a resolves to fulfill a mission. X-STATIX #20 (22) Perhaps the night of the day after XS 20 (10-21). X-Statix attends a charity gala, their first appearance with the re-formed Vivisector. Tuesday, July 15 EXILES #47 The day after EX3 46. The Exiles and Beak head to the Baxter Building, where they fight the Fantastic Four and Namor. EXILES #48 The same day as EX3 47. It is "a few months" before X 162, but also "a few weeks" before X 163; the former is probably right. Reed Richards determines that the Exiles' mission is to leave Nocturne behind and take Beak with them. Because Beak is phased out of time, Angel believes that he up and left her. That morning the Exiles and Beak leave Nocturne behind, and Nocturne is approached by Exodus to join his brotherhood (where she shows up in X 161). Sub-Mariner, the FF, Angel and the brood, Beast, Northstar, and Nightcrawler appear. X-STATIX #21 One day, sometime after T2 79 (21-24). Given the press questions about Spike's death, this story cannot occur long after XS 20 (22). Russian terrorists abduct Doop and turn him into a super-weapon. X-Statix enlists the aid of the Avengers, consisting of Cap, Iron Man, Hawkeye (without the armored sleeve introduced in A3 77), Scarlet Witch (back in classic costume), Ant-Man (also back in classic costume), and Thor (back with the team and in classic costume). In the ensuing battle, Doop's brain explodes into six pieces that end up in different locations around the globe and in Asgard, which is back in its own dimension. Both teams vow to retrieve the pieces, which must be done within "three days" (thus three days before XS 25), or Doop will die. Green grass and trees in New York. Full moon. SHE-HULK v3 #4 (1) One "Tuesday" night. She-Hulk and her colleague, Pug, summon Spidey to offer him a chance to file suit against J. Jonah Jameson. Wednesday, July 16 SHE-HULK v3 #4 (2) On a "Wednesday," a process server informs JJJ that he's being sued by Spidey. The Daily Bugle spread on the recap page, along with its date of "June 9, 2004," is just a page format; I don't consider it to be "real." X-STATIX #22 Probably the day after XS 21. Cap fights the Anarchist in Thailand and gets a piece of Doop's brain. Dead Girl fights the Scarlet Witch on a ship in the Atlantic and gets another piece. X-STATIX #23 Probably the same day as XS 22. After tricking Vivisector, Hawkeye gets a piece of Doop's brain in Azania. Venus Dee Milo wins another piece of the brain from Ant-Man in Antarctica. Full moon. Thursday, July 17 X-STATIX #24 Probably the day after XS 23. Guy Smith battles Iron Man in France, where we see green grass and trees and weather warm enough to be naked. Guy beats Shellhead, but gives him his piece of Doop's brain. SHE-HULK v3 #4 (3:1-3:4) On a "Thursday," Peter and M.J. discuss Spidey's lawsuit against Jameson. WEAPON X v2 #28 - FB One day. This flashback occurs before WX2 26 (1-10) and probably occurs after WX2 14. Mr. Sinister shows Scalphunter his latest creation, Hans. Friday, July 18 X-STATIX #25 It must be the day after XS 24., as it is "three days" after XS 21. Given Hawkeye's costume, this story must occur before DD2 61 (3-5), M/KSM 2, HAWK3 1 (3-17), and A3 77. Thor must appear here before T2 80 (7-22). Thor battles Doop in Asgard, but when the Valkyrior awaken, the Avengers and X-Statix team up. When Doop starts to die, the two teams restore his brain and Cap determines that X-Statix is responsible enough to care for Doop. Later, back at their headquarters, the members of X- Statix, figuring they've lost their edge, decide to break up. SHE-HULK v3 #4 (3:5-4) On a "Friday," She-Hulk and Pug discuss Spidey's lawsuit against Jameson. Saturday, July 19 MARVEL PREVIEWS #32 One "Saturday," the "19th" of a summer month that follows a month with 30 days (so it must be July). Franklin's "at camp," so it's Herbie's day off. He spends the day getting buffed, playing video games, getting a tan, saving the city from aliens, and receiving the key to the city from the mayor. When Franklin returns home early, Herbie sadly glances at his key to the city. GLA #1 - FB (12:2-16:1) One day. The appearance of Vision and Hawkeye here places this flashback before A 500, and Thor's presence in classic costume places the flashback between T2 79 (21-24) and T2 80 (7-22) - perhaps around the time he was with the Avengers in XS 21-26. On an animal rights tear, the new Ani-Men attack a modeling shoot in Milwaukee. The Great Lakes Avengers respond, but they're sidelined by the Avengers. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #3 (1-2) One night. In New Orleans, Gambit accepts a job from a Mr. Green to retrieve some discs from Tyler Winn, a man he is told is a rogue CIA agent. Full moon. WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #1 (17-20) One afternoon, probably several days after W/P 1-FB (18). It is "ten years" after W/P 1-FB (16). Erewhon has grown tremendously, and the town's ruling Council announces the arrival of a great prize in "a matter of days" - the Punisher. Currently Erewhon is made up almost exclusively of criminals hiding from him, and they all want vengeance. Sunday, July 20 WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #1 (21-22) The early morning after W/P 1 (17-20). I've placed this series between PUN7 6 and 7; if this is right, then this segment should occur long enough after PUN7 6 for Castle to heal from injuries sustained in that issue (which I've placed on June 20). Pursued by the Punisher, Harvey Long runs through the jungle and encounters Wolverine. Full moon. WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #2 The same day as W/P 1 (21-22). It is "ten years" after W/P 2-FB (15-16) and "years" after W/P 2-FB (18). Wolverine, hired to ensure Harvey Long testifies against his former bosses, clashes with the Punisher. As the two fight, Harvey runs away, arriving in Erewhon at sunrise. Logan and Frank call a truce and follow his trail into the town, but there's no sign of him. The Lady takes Wolverine aside and implores him to help her escape from Erewhon, and that night the Atheist and the Demon plead their cases to the Council, that they should each be the one to kill the Punisher. The Council discovers that the Lady has skipped town with Logan. The Atheist is dispatched to kill them both, and Gottlieb makes an offering, the head of Harvey Long, to a shadowy figure he calls "the founding father." X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #3 (3-11) The day after XU2 3 (1-2). Gambit discovers the true story of the discs, saves Winn from CIA operatives, and loses his earnings in the process. He says that the discs will go to "a schoolmaster in Westchester," but that may be a reference to Cyclops, not Xavier. X-STATIX #26 - FB (5-6:2) One night. X-Statix is disbanding, and at their farewell party, Guy has a premonition about their final mission. We see a number of guests dressed up like Silver Age Marvel heroes; if these are the real heroes (who may have been requested to wear classic costumes to the event), then Thor must appear here before T2 80 (7-22) and I have the Surfer here prior to SS4 14. X-STATIX #26 - FB (7-11:3) The same night as XS 26-FB (5-6). X-Statix leave their party and meet to review their mission: taking out armed gunmen who have overrun a mansion. Green grass and trees in California. X-STATIX #26 - FB (22-23) The same night as XS 26-FB (7-11). X-Statix teleport to their mission. X-STATIX #26 The same night as XS 26-FB (22-23). X-Statix is slaughtered by the gunmen at the mansion. Monday, July 21 WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #3 The early morning after W/P 2. Wolverine and the Lady are ambushed by the Atheist and a party of men; the Lady is fatally shot and Logan escapes. Books sneaks into the Punisher's hotel room and Frank stops him from stealing his weapons. Frank sees the entire town of Erewhon standing outside, and they open fire, causing Frank to be caught under a collapsing ceiling. As Frank considers sawing off his own leg to escape, Wolverine stumbles into a trap laid by the Atheist and ends up strung up between two trees, with the Atheist preparing to fire a crossbow bolt at him. Full moon. WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #4 The same early morning as W/P 3. Logan is shot through the head with an arrow, but manages to string up the Atheist. Van Daemon can't bring himself to shoot the Punisher, and Castle kills him. Punisher goes on a killing spree and Logan and Castle reconnoiter. The citizens of Erewhon revolt when they discover that Punisher was lured to the sanctuary to "cull the herd." The "founding father" turns out to be the corpse of Hitler. Full moon. WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #5 (1-17) The same day as W/P 4. Logan and Castle battle Napoleon, Gottlieb, and the revolting mob and are subdued. Gottlieb dies and the Atheist escapes. Napoleon sets Wolverine and Punisher up to fight each other, but Castle kills Napoleon. Frank and Logan are recaptured. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #3 (12) The day after XU2 3 (3-11). Gambit reports back to Mr. Green. X-FORCE: SHATTERSTAR #1 One day. Shatterstar, who has spent the last "two whole months" fighting in a Madripoor gladiatorial arena, is approached by a hooded woman and asked to kill a villain she calls the Destroyer. That night, Shatterstar is attacked in his apartment by a trio of ninjas, the leader of which is Dominicus Pierce, Shatterstar's target. He claims he is a sacred guardian of an ancient blade called the Five Fingers of Annihilation. The hooded woman desires the blade, which is the only thing that can defeat a creature called the Skornn, who feeds on mutants. Pierce entrusts the blade to Shatterstar. Elsewhere, later, one of Pierce's ninjas reveals himself to be a traitor, working alongside the hooded woman, who is revealed to be Spiral. Full moon. Tuesday, July 22 WOLVERINE/PUNISHER #5 (18-23) The early morning after W/P 5 (1-17). Just before sunrise, Books sneaks in to release Frank and Logan. Later that morning, Wolverine and the Punisher head to civilization. Logan notes that the Atheist escaped the trap he'd left him in, and the Punisher promises to promptly return with enough weaponry to kill them all. In Erewhon, Books explains to the remaining townspeople that without the Punisher, they'd be free men and that none of them wants that. X-FORCE: SHATTERSTAR #2 Probably the day after XFOR:SH 1. Shatterstar, Pierce and his men assault Spiral's headquarters, little realizing they are walking into a trap. Four female warriors attack and the turncoat ninja shows his true colors. During the battle, Shatterstar realizes that the walls are holographic and he locates the way into Spiral's command center, a "dimensional womb" where platforms float in a starry void. Shatterstar and Spiral duel, and Spiral gains the Annihilation blade and knocks Pierce off a platform, condemning him to fall for eternity. Shatterstar knocks the blade out of her hand and she leaps after it. Shatterstar leaps after her as she conjures a dimensional portal in their path and Shatterstar wakes up somewhere else. He is sucker-punched by a towering figure who looks almost exactly like Cable. We see long sleeves in Madripoor. X-FORCE: SHATTERSTAR #3 The same day as XFOR:SH 2. It is "several months" before XFOR2 1. Shatterstar discovers that he has landed on a parallel earth and that Spiral rigged her dimensional portal so that he arrived here three years after she did. In that time, she has conquered almost all of this world and has slain its Shatterstar. This Cable believes him to be an assassin in disguise, but when they are both ambushed by Spiral's troops, Cable changes his mind and brings Shatterstar back to their base. Cable's small strike force is the last rebellion against Spiral, who has now taken the name Apocalypse. Cable suddenly receives a psychic transmission from Sunspot, who has spent the last six months infiltrating Spiral's castle; he almost stole back the Annihilation blade, but was discovered and captured. Hoping to rescue him, Cable's force mounts up the Lockheeds for a last, desperate assault on Spiral's floating fortress. X-FORCE: SHATTERSTAR #4 (1-21) The same day as XFOR:SH 3. Spiral throws Sunspot over the side of her floating castle, but he is rescued by Boomer on her Lockheed. While Cable's forces attack Spiral's troops, Shatterstar engages her in a sword fight. He is on the verge of defeating her when he is attacked by Dominicus Pierce. Using her time-manipulation powers, Spiral had let Pierce fall through the void for over a hundred years, then retrieved him, and now he owes her his life. While Shatterstar battles Pierce, Spiral jumps to Boomer's Lockheed and kills it with the Annihilation blade. The dying creature smashes into the castle, knocking Boomer, Spiral, and Pierce over the side. Sunspot catches the former two while Pierce is fried by a blast of fire from Cable's mount. Later, with Spiral captured and her reign over, Cable prepares to send Shatterstar and the Annihilation blade home. After some questioning by Boomer, Spiral provides the technology to open the portal and Cable sends Shatterstar through, a final psychic message ringing in his head as he returns to Madripoor. HAWKEYE v3 #1 (3-17) One day. Given the new Hawkeye costume in this story arc, this segment must occur after A/TB 6 (17-20). Clint Barton drives his motorcycle "twelve hours" from New York to Myrtle Beach, where he gets pries into the life of a stripper named Peppermint who is accosted by a guy named Jimmy Muscles. We see fireworks at night. Wednesday, July 23 SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #11 - FB (8:3) One day. Curt Connors sees his son mourning his mother. SHE-HULK v3 #4 (5) One "Wednesday." The newspaper date of "June 23, 2004" may be close (although the year is topical). It also suggests two weeks after the supposed June 9 setting of S-H3 4 (2). Smythe agrees to supply Scorpion with Spider-Slayers for an attack on Spidey and JJJ during the courtroom proceedings. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #17 - FB (16:3) One day, after A/TB 6 (23) and "months" before TB2 2 (1-9). Baron Zemo sends Killgrave after Andreas Von Strucker. The depiction of Zemo and Andreas together in this panel is confusing, since Andreas would be unaware of Zemo's hand in this. Thursday, July 24 SHE-HULK v3 #4 (6-18) The day after S-H3 4 (5). On day one of the courtroom proceedings, Scorpion attacks and his defeated by Shulkie and Spidey. The date "June 24, 2004" may not be quite right; I have it as July 24. THOR v2 #80 (5-6) One day, "one month" ("thirty days") before T2 80 (7-22). On their way to Gunin-Gap to destroy the mold for Mjolnir, Eitri and two of his associate dwarves are drowned in the river Vuluspa and Loki locates the mold, a powerful tool he has been seeking. HAWKEYE v3 #1 (18-25) One day, a "couple" of days after HAWK3 1 (1-17). Clint confronts Peppermint's boyfriend Bailey, but discovers he didn't send Jimmy Muscles after Peppermint. Suspecting Bailey's wife Belinda, Clint buys some archery equipment that night at Wal-Mart. It is "kinda warm out to be wearin' jackets." HAWKEYE v3 #2 (1-14) The same day as HAWK3 1 (18-25). Clint uses his archery skills to follow up his investigation. We see fireworks again in Myrtle Beach. Full moon. Friday, July 25 SHE-HULK v3 #4 (19) The day after S-H3 4 (6-18). On day two of the court proceedings, Pug extends Spidey's lawsuit to Peter Parker. The date "June 25, 2004" may not be quite right; I have it as July 25. HAWKEYE v3 #2 (15-22) The day after HAWK3 2 (1-14). Clint visits Belinda and follows up with further investigation. HAWKEYE v3 #3 (4-5) Probably the same day as HAWK3 2 (15-22). It is a day a public library would be open. Clint gets a Myrtle Beach librarian to hack into Army personnel records and pays her with dinner and sex, which is a clue that this story arc should occur before Clint hooks up with the Wasp in A3 83; that means that HAWK3 6 (21-23) should occur before A3 77. Full moon. X-FORCE: SHATTERSTAR #4 (22) One day, probably a few days after XFOR:SH 4 (1-21). Shatterstar thinks about the alternate Cable's inspiring words as he climbs Mount Xixabangma towards a sacred temple. Saturday, July 26 SHE-HULK v3 #4 (20) The morning after S-H3 4 (19). Spidey settles the lawsuit at the GLK&H law offices, which must be open on a Saturday. HAWKEYE v3 #3 (6-22) The day after HAWK3 3 (4-5). Hawkeye heads to Miami to confront Alex Kreiter about the real reason for Peppermint's being threatened - her discovery of a secret from Bailey's and Kreiter's Vietnam War experience. That night, Kreiter sends his goons after Clint, who defeats them and delivers them back to Kreiter. When Clint gets too close to the truth, Kreiter commits suicide. Bailey finds Peppermint and encourages her to kill Clint upon his return to Myrtle Beach. Full moon. SHE-HULK v3 #10 - FB (21:2) One day. Titania trains to battle She-Hulk. DAREDEVIL v2 #56 - FB (9) One day. Matt (with goatee) and Milla walk down a block of Hell's Kitchen that's been renovated, thanks to their efforts. The renovation of Hell's Kitchen is also noted in PUN7 7 (1-11). Sunday, July 27 HAWKEYE v3 #4 The day after HAWK3 3 (6-22). Clint returns to Myrtle Beach, where Peppermint is accidentally killed. Finding out more about the Laos massacre, Clint suits up and confronts Scully, then decides to go to Laos. Full moon. HAWKEYE v3 #6 - FB (4) The same day as HAWK3 4. Clint, Bailey, and Scully prepare to leave for Laos. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6/2 (5:9-6) On the night of the day Augie is released from prison, he auditions for a position as a thug for the Mercenary. According to a wall calendar, it's either Sunday, the 29th day of a 31-day month or Sunday, the 28th day of a 30-day month. Monday, July 28 SHE-HULK v3 #4 (21) A "business day" shortly after S-H3 4 (20). Peter Parker and JJJ issue public apologies to Spidey while dressed in chicken suits. HAWKEYE v3 #5 Probably the day after HAWK3 4. Hawkeye, Bailey, and Scully reach the sight of the Laos massacre, where Clint discovers the reason for the massacre - the soldiers' greed for the contents of a temple that opens every forty years. Hawkeye uses a flare arrow to cause the temple to open and an army of archers descends upon them. The reference to 2007 being forty years after the Vietnam flashback must be topical. Full moon. HAWKEYE v3 #6 (5-14) The same night as HAWK3 5. It is "years" after HAWK3 6-FB (1-3) and a "week" before HAWK3 6 (15-16). Hawkeye dons his costume for the first time in this story arc - it is a new costume featuring an armored left arm, so this story must occur after XS 25 and A/TB 6 (17-20). Bailey dies and Hawkeye defeats the archers, but his hit by a poison arrow. Scully takes off with the prized column from the temple. WEAPON X v2 #16 One day, long enough after WX 15 for the doctors at Weapon X to give Chamber a new face through "surgery" (as noted in WX2 19). It is "several years" after WX 16-FB. This story must occur after X 150 (1-31), as monitors in the Weapon X compound show a recorded video of Weapon XV's attack on Magneto. Brent Jackson shows Jono around the Weapon X compound and offers him a trial assignment, to kill John Sublime. Logan, probably here after UX 443, is seen doing surveillance on Jono. Green trees. WEAPON X v2 #17 The same day as WX2 16. Chamber meets Logan in a movie theater (in a place where it's raining) and discuss Jono's assignment to infiltrate Weapon X for the X-Men. "Hours later," Jono agrees to kill Sublime, and that evening, he, Jackson, Sauron, and Wild Child attack Sublime's headquarters, where it appears to be a normal business day. Sublime and his U-Men root out the skulking Jono. WEAPON X v2 #18 The same night as WX2 17. It is "several weeks" after WX2 18-FB. Jackson, Sauron, and Wild Child save Chamber, who then finds and supposedly kills John Sublime and reports back to Wolverine. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6/2 (7) Perhaps the night after ASMU2 6/2 (5:9-6). Augie tries to find Vivian, only to discover that her grandmother died while he was in prison "last year" and that Vivian is married now. SPIDER-MAN/RED SONJA #1 One night. Because M.J. is a stage actress, this story must occur after ASM 509 and so after ASM 515 (1-15). While he beats up
some burglars, Spider-Man chats with Mary Jane on the phone. Meanwhile, a senator goes to a museum and sees a necklace.
When he puts it on he's possessed by Kulan Gath, who turns the city medieval. Everyone is affected but Spider-Man. As he
makes his way to the museum, Kulan Gath, remembers that the last time he was in this era Red Sonja bonded with Mary Jane.
He calls Mary Jane to kill Spider-Man. She's bonded with Red Sonja through her sword just as Spider-Man finds her. The snow
may be topical. The same night as SM/RS 1. As Kulan Gath changes the city, Venom (Eddie Brock) is hit by the wave. Elsewhere, Red Sonja
fights Spider-Man. J ust as he starts to calm her down, Venom attacks. Meanwhile, Kulan Gath and Jonah chat while Robbie
saves a kid from Vermin. Spider-Man and Red Sonja escape from Venom, but Spidey is taken away by a group of Kulan Gath's
men. The same night as SM/RS 2. Venom reports to Kulan Gath, who attacks him for his symbiote. Meanwhile, Spider-Man wakes up in a prison and sees Roobbie. Elsewhere, Red Sonja assembles an army, and they free Spider-Man during their attack. While Kulan Gath steals the symbiote, Red Sonja and Spidey defeat Vermin. Then they're attacked by the Lizard, the Scorpion, and the new Hobgoblin. SPIDER-MAN/RED SONJA #4 The same night as SM/RS 3. Spider-Man and Red Sonja fight the villains, and Hobgoblin grabs Red Sonja and flies away. They
pass through the energy barrier and Hobgoblin reverts to his normal self. Meanwhile, Kulan Gath, bonded with the Venom
symbiote, attacks and captures Spidey. Red Sonja starts to remember some of Mary Jane's memories while she fights Hobgoblin.
After she defeats him she's shot by the police. The same night as SM/RS 4. Kulan Gath has strung Spider-Man up in a tree. He expands the energy wave to transform more of New York, and it reaches Red Sonja. The policemen around her turn into his men and they take her to Kulan Gath. As he's about to kill them both, Brock attacks to get his symbiote back. Red Sonja breaks free and destroys Kulan Gath's necklace, turning New York back to normal. Red Sonja is sent back to Hyboria. Tuesday, July 29 SPIDER-MAN/RED SONJA #5 (22) The day after SM/RS 5 (1-20). Because Brock is Venom in SM/RS 5 (1-20), this segment must occur before M/KSM 1 (1-9).
Peter and Mary Jane get some Chinese food. Only Peter remembers the Red Sonja/Kulan Gath affair. One day. Footage of a nice private zoo in Salina, Kansas. SHE-HULK v4 #3/2 One day. Because Jen is on earth and appears to be in control of her power, and because GLK&H's comic book library is still intact, this story must occur before S-H3 7. Jen returns some comic books she borrowed from GLK&H in S-H3 2. DAREDEVIL v2 #73 - FB (5-6) One night, "a few months" before DD2 73. Jennifer Norton spies her husband talking to a demonic imp on his shoulder. Wednesday, July 30 WOLVERINE v3 #7 One day. It cannot be "two months" or "a couple months" after W3 6, but rather six months, as noted in W3 9; given Logan's dream about the deceased Jean in W3 12, this issue probably occurs after X 154 (23). Blaine's reference to having served in Vietnam with Logan "over thirty years ago, now" must be topical. Outside of El Paso, Wolverine interrupts a convenience store robbery and discovers a tractor trailer full of the corpses of illegal Mexican immigrants who died of heatstroke. Logan heads into El Paso to enlist the help of an old friend, Garcia Nestor, in tracking down the immigrant smuggling ring. Meanwhile, in Portland, ATF agent Cassie Lathrop tries fruitlessly to track Logan down, and just as she's given up, she spies his El Paso activities on the evening news. Green grass in Oregon. PULSE #2 One day, the day before PULSE 1. The Bugle's Terri Kidder does a piece on the Avengers and Jameson chews her out. Later that day she is scooped by Fox News on a Spider-Man/Vulture battle. That evening, Terri hears that a few Oscorp staffers have gone missing over the last week. She gets a quick interview with Norman Osborn before a reception he has at 8 PM, but when she asks him about the missing people, he strangles her to death and, as the Green Goblin, dumps her body in the Central Park reservoir. Leafy trees and jackets in New York. Full moon. DAREDEVIL v2 #56 - FB (10-17) One day, "months" before A4 9-FB. Reed Richards appears here with an unscarred face; this flashback likely occurs after FF 511. The Democratic Party of New York asks Matt (with goatee) to run for mayor of the city on their ticket and tell him that an official request will come at a dinner "tomorrow." Matt then meets Reed Richards, Luke Cage, Peter Parker, and Stephen Strange in a park, where we see short sleeves, green trees, and what appears to be warm weather. As the FBI surveys the situation, the four chastize Matt for going too far and an argument ensues; they feel Matt has become a dictator, something about which Reed should know. DAREDEVIL v2 #65 - FB (26:4-32) The same rainy day as DD2 56-FB (10-17). It must be much less than "12 months" before DD2 65. It is "a while" after DD2 5. After Matt leaves the other heroes, he walks around town and finally goes to Dr. Strange's house for advice and assistance. Mention of Karen Page's death seems to surprise Strange, who should know better, as he attended Karen's funeral. Matt's facial hair doesn't quite match his goatee in DD2 56-FB (10-17). DAREDEVIL v2 #56 - FB (18-22) The same rainy night as DD2 65-FB (26-32). During a thunderstorm, Matt is attacked by a gang of Yakuza thugs. DAREDEVIL v2 #57 - FB The same rainy night as DD2 56-FB (18-22). Matt battles the Yakuza, sustaining heavy injury. When the FBI arrive on the scene, Matt is gone. Thursday, July 31 PULSE #1 (1-2) The morning after DD2 57-FB. Ben Urich reads the Bugle coverage of the Yakuza battle of the night before. DAREDEVIL v2 #56 The day after DD2 57-FB, so it must be the same day as PULSE 1 (1-2). It cannot be "almost a year to the day" after DD2 50. Ben Urich talks to Milla in a diner about Daredevil's past year. DAREDEVIL v2 #57 The same day as DD2 56. It is the day after DD2 57-FB, "a year" after DD2 50, and "a year or two" after the MGH drug started on the East Coast. Ben continues talking to Milla, who notes that Matt is her husband. DAREDEVIL v2 #58 The same day as DD2 57. It is supposed to be "about four months" after Matt's and Milla's wedding in DD2 74-FB (1-3) on "May 4," but I have it as three months (just barely four months inclusive). It is "a year and a half" after DD2 35 (19-20), but this may be an approximation signifying a time period of more than a year. Ben tells Milla he'll find out what happened to Matt. After checking with Foggy, Ben finds Matt (with goatee) recuperating at the Waterfront Medical Center. FBI agents Driver and Del Toro interrogate Yakuza member Sano Orii. DAREDEVIL v2 #59 (1-9) The same day as DD2 58. It is "9 days" before DD2 59 (10-22). As Orii is released, the Yakuza assassinate Agent Driver. The news reaches Ben, who with Foggy has just witnessed Matt fall unconscious from a nervous breakdown. WOLVERINE v3 #8 The day after W3 7. Cassie Lathrop has traveled to El Paso, where she shows Logan's sketch to the Border Patrol. Meanwhile, Logan tracks down Ian Ritter, the man who organized the truckload of immigrants, but when he confronts him, Ritter is killed by his assistant, who then sets the building on fire. The Border Patrol shows up, and Cassie leaps into the fire to save Logan, who then has to save her. That night, acting on the information he got from Ritter's assistant, Logan swims the Rio into Mexico. Friday, August 1 WOLVERINE v3 #9 The early morning after W3 8. It is "six months" after W3 6 (which I already placed in February). In Mexico, Logan confronts some of Rojas' men, while in El Paso, Cassie tracks down Nestor's bar. Logan forces one of the men to drive him to Rojas' estate. but the other two call ahead and many armed guards are waiting when Logan arrives. He cuts them all down and comes face-to-face with Rojas, who is revealed to be a pregnant woman. WOLVERINE v3 #10 (1-17) The same early morning as W3 9. It's closing time at Nestor's bar, but Cassie continues to drink and refuses to leave. Meanwhile in Mexico, Logan confronts Rojas, who reveals that the immigrants had all swallowed heroin-filled condoms and were smuggling them into the US. She taunts Logan, daring him to kill her, but he refuses, struggling to control himself. As soon as he storms out, Rojas goes into labor. Logan returns to Nestor's bar to sleep, and finds Cassie waiting. She asks to stay, and he offers her the couch. PULSE #1 (3-22) The day after DD2 57-FB and PULSE 2. This segment must occur after DD:F 2 (18-20). Jessica Jones is not yet visibly pregnant, yet according to my calculations she's over five months pregnant. She interviews for a job at the Daily Bugle, where Jameson pitches a new section of the paper spotlighting super-heroes called "The Pulse," to which Ben Urich is assigned. Terri Kidder's body is fished out of the reservoir. WOLVERINE v3 #11 - FB The same night ("twenty hours" after) as W3 10 (1-17). Logan returns to Rojas' estate, where he helps deliver her baby. Saturday, August 2 WOLVERINE v3 #10 (18-21) The early morning after W3 11-FB. When Cassie awakens, Logan is gone; Nestor said he went back across the river, with "unfinished business" and at that moment, Logan bursts through the door of the bar, holding a crying newborn. WOLVERINE v3 #11 (1-13) The same day as W3 10 (18-21). Logan returns to Rojas' estate and searches for personal information, discovering that she has a sister who is married and living in Illinois. Green trees and bushes in El Paso. PULSE #3 The day after PULSE 1 (3-22). References to "last night" and "yesterday" seem to suggest that PULSE 2 occurred the day before this issue, but it may be three days after. Jessica (still not showing) and Luke argue about her new job at the Bugle, whose reporters investigate Terri Kidder's murder. Ben Urich concludes that Norman Osborn is the murderer and contacts Peter Parker. Iron Man cameos. Green, leafy trees in New York. We see people wearing coats, hats and scarves, but this may be topical. PULSE #4 The same day as PULSE 3. Ben and Peter discuss Ben's knowledge of Peter's secret identity and Peter tells Ben that Osborn is the Green Goblin. Suspecting Osborn to be a killer, they vow to bring him down. The Bugle decides to expose Osborn and notifies police. That night, the police, with Ben Urich and Jessica Jones, arrive at Oscorp to see Osborn and the Green Goblin explodes onto the scene. PULSE #5 (1-12) The same day as PULSE 4. This segment must occur after SM/BC 5-FB (17). Spidey arrives and battles the Goblin, who gets away. Jessica (still not looking pregnant; Spidey can't tell) thinks that the Goblin killed her fetus, but a doctor confirms that it's alive and well. The doctor also states that the fetus "doesn't have any bones yet," but this can't be right, as this story occurs after ALIAS 28, in which Jessica was already "three months pregnant." A news reporter states, "I didn't think we'd get a bigger news story this year than the fall of Wilson Fisk;" the reference may not be to DD2 50 but to Fisk's conviction, which probably did occur earlier this year. The reference apparently doesn't consider "Magneto's" attack on Manhattan, surely a bigger news item. The "this year" statement does contradict the statement that DD2 56 (which ties into PULSE 1-2) occurs "almost a year to the day" after DD2 50. HAWKEYE v3 #6 (15-16) One night. HAWK3 6 (5-14) is referred to as having occurred "last week." Hawkeye has tracked Scully to Hong Kong, where he convinces him to help take down Belinda. The full moon is inconsistent with that in HAWK3 5. Sunday, August 3 PULSE #5 (13-19) Perhaps the morning after PULSE 5 (1-12), given that Cage was determined to get Osborn and that he wears different clothes here than in PULSE 5 (1-12). This segment occurs "two or three months" before M/KSM 9. The Bugle reports that Osborn is the Goblin and Osborn surrenders himself to police to appear as a victim. Cage publicly attacks Osborn, forcing Osborn to don the Goblin mask and battle him. Spidey arrives and Cage subdues Osborn. [BTS] The same morning as PULSE 5 (13-19). The Goblin escapes from Cage (according to M/KSM 12) and takes people hostage in a church, presumably during a Sunday morning service. "Four hours" later, Spidey catches up with him. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #1 (1-9) The same "Sunday morning" as PULSE 5 (13-19). This story probably occurs after ASM 515 (1-15). This story occurs sometime after Iron Man's identity becomes public knowledge (IM3 55/2) and must occur after ASM 514, SMF2 2 (22), and SM/RS 5 (22). It is "three months" before M/KSM 10 (1-10). Spidey battles and defeats the Green Goblin. PULSE #5 (20-21) The same day as M/KSM 1 (1-9). The press has a field day with the capture of Osborn and his exposure as the Goblin and the Bugle staff is delighted. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #1 (10-15) The same day as PULSE 5 (20-21). A battered Peter arrives by cab at Aunt May's house in Queens, where he helps Aunt May move out to a Manhattan apartment, unaware he's being watched. We see green and bare trees in New York. WOLVERINE v3 #11 (14-18) The day after W3 11 (1-13). Logan tracks down the sister and convinces her to adopt Rojas' baby. We see snow on the ground in Illinois, but this must be topical. Monday, August 4 PULSE #5 (22) The day after PULSE 5 (13-21). This segment must occur before M/HOLSPEC '04. The Bugle's headline reads "Osborn Jailed!!" Jessica reports to work. MYSTIC ARCANA: SISTER GRIMM #1/2 One day, between RUN 17 (23) and RUN 18. Nico is residing at Father Flanagan's home for unwanted Goth kids. One night, she is confronted by Marie LaVeau, who retrieved the Black Mirror from the Minorus. She needs Nico's blood to deactivate a spell blocking its usage. After some fighting, Nico breaks the mirror and Marie LaVeau gets the final page of the Darkhold hidden inside. HAWKEYE v3 #6 (17-21:4) One night, shortly after HAWK3 6 (15-16). In Myrtle Beach, Hawkeye foils Belinda's scheme. Tuesday, August 5 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5 - FB (3:4-4) One day, two days before ASMU2 5. Spidey nabs a robber but bystander John Murray is apprehended by police. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5 - FB - FB The same day as ASMU2 5-FB (3-4). Police find the robber all webbed up. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5 - FB (5:2-5:3) The same day as ASMU2 5-FB-FB. While Murray is at the police station, a Bugle reporter makes note of his arrest and leaves. Then the real robber is brought into the station. HAWKEYE v3 #6 (21:5-23) One night, shortly after HAWK3 6 (17-21). This segment must occur before A3 77. Hawkeye tells his tale to his friends in Myrtle Beach, while Belinda and Scully try to piece the column back together in Laos. Wednesday, August 6 WOLVERINE v3 #11 (19-20) One day, probably a few days after W3 11 (14-18). The Murillos have traveled to El Paso from Illinois. [BTS] One day, the day before ASMU2 5. John Murray loses his job because of the Bugle's report of his arrest. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #12 - FB (10:4-12:3) One day. Titannus' forces invade the Trellions' planet and he strikes a deal to serve at the Trellion king's side. NEW WARRIORS v3 #5 - FB (5:5) One day. Footage of Nuponder, Michigan. Thursday, August 7 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5 One day. ASMU2 5-FB (3-4) is referred to as having occurred "the day before yesterday." John Murray's son holds the Bugle staff hostage in an effort to clear his father's name. Robbie Robertson gets the kid to hand over his gun and the police take the youth away. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5/2 (1-10) One day, "a few weeks" before ASMU2 5/2 (11). Spidey thwarts some bank robbers and saves a hostage who nearly dies. We see green trees and a little autumn color in New York. WOLVERINE v3 #11 (21) Perhaps the night of the day after W3 11 (19-20). Logan shows up at Cassie Lathrop's house, and is invited in for the night. Green grass and green trees and rain in Portland. Logan is wearing his dog tags in this arc, suggesting that this is before he returns to his Reload costume in AX3 1. Friday, August 8 WOLVERINE v3 #12 One early morning, shortly after W3 11 (21). Logan has a dream about Jean while staying at Cassie Lathrop's place. A newspaper headline reads "Capt. America captures Osama," with a picture of Cap, but this is probably an artist joke. Leafy trees in Oregon. Full moon. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #6 - FB (11:1-11:2) One day, "a little while" before M/KSM 6-FB (12). Osborn, jailed here after M/KSM 1 (1-9), diagnoses his guard's wife's condition and prescribes something that will kill her. An incarcerated Rhino is shown here, probably before his miniaturization in S-H3 5. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #11 (1-3) One day. Curt Connors visits his psychiatrist. He "can't remember" how long it's been since his wife's death in SM:QL 4. The doctor refers to Billy as a "ten-year-old boy," but she must be mistaken, as Billy is noted as being 16 in SM:QL 3. ORDER v2 #2 - FB - FB (1/2:9-1/2:10) One night. Becky Ryan performs on stage before screaming young fans. Saturday, August 9 WOLVERINE v3 #13 (1-10) One day, shortly after W3 12 and more than "two weeks" after Sabretooth's previous appearance (likely X 142). Hired by a shady company, Sabretooth hunts a feral woman known as the Native in British Columbia. When she slaughters his hunting party and defeats him, Sabretooth decides to try to get Wolverine to do the hard work for him. It is "supposed to be spring," and we see gray skies and snow in B.C. DAREDEVIL v2 #59 (10-22) One day, "9 days" after DD2 59 (1-9). After nine days drifting in and out of consciousness (and thus unavailable for other appearances), Matt awakens, clean shaven, in a safe house that Foggy arranged. Matt dons the costume for the first time "in a long time" and goes to apologize to Luke and Jessica, who apparently have just moved in together. Luke tells Matt that Jessica is pregnant, reinforcing the fact that she still doesn't show (although she does have a loose shirt on). That night, Daredevil, Cage, Spider-Man, and Iron Fist invade the Yakuza's base. DAREDEVIL v2 #60 (1-21) The same night as DD2 59 (10-22). It is indeed a "couple of years" after DD2 21 (18-22). This segment occurs a "week" before DD2 64 (1-12) and must occur before DD2 55 (17-22), CM6 19, and M/KSM 11. The four heroes kick Yakuza butt and Matt tells his comrades that he's back in the super-hero business. He then sees Milla who confronts him about his state of mind and its link to their relationship. We see falling leaves and a full moon. Sunday, August 10 WOLVERINE v3 #13 (11-16) The day after W3 13 (1-10). In the early hours of morning, Logan sneaks out of Cassie Lathrop's house and speeds away. Presumably that night, Sabretooth gives his report to the shady company that hired him. We see evergreens, green bushes, and rain in Oregon. DAREDEVIL v2 #60 (22) The rainy morning after DD2 60 (1-21). Ben Urich checks out his Pulse article about Daredevil's return and the Yakuza smackdown. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6/2 (8) One day. At an early point in Augie's training as one of the Mercenary's thugs, he is humbled by the villain. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #11 (4-9) The "Sunday" after PPTSS2 11 (1-3). Curt Connors tells his troubles to Peter Parker, but notes that a research grant he's to discuss with the Montalbetti Foundation "tomorrow" could be a turning point for him. We see green grass and trees, warm weather clothing, and people playing baseball in Queens. Monday, August 11 SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #11 (10-23) The day after PPTSS2 11 (4-9). Mary Jane is "away for a week on a photo shoot," so this story must occur after ASM 505-FB. Billy Connors is staying at his aunt's house at 2:30 PM, so it's likely that this story occurs during summer vacation. On a "Monday," Curt is rejected by the Montalbetti Foundation. In anger, Curt goes to the Richardson Institute, the workplace of his rival for the grant and an explosion ensues. He turns into the Lizard and he and Spidey fight. WOLVERINE v3 #13 (17-22) Possibly the day after W3 13 (11-16). Sabretooth tracks Logan to a Montana diner and gives him a file on the Native. Green grass and bushes in Montana. AVENGERS v3 #77 One day. Hawkeye (in his new costume with the armored sleeve) must appear here after HAWK3 6 (21-23), given that his casual sex with the librarian in HAWK3 3 (4-5) should occur before his liaison with Jan in A3 83. A man is seen reading a newspaper with a headline, "Red Skull Stopped!;" this suggests that this issue occurs right after A3 70 (1-15), but if this issue occurs in sequential order with other issues of A3, then at least a few weeks must have passed, given that A3 72 occurs "a few weeks" after A3 68. Cap, Hawkeye, and the Wasp fight the Wrecking Crew in England, where we see green grass and trees and people wearing coats and jackets. AVENGERS v3 #78 The same day as A3 77. It is "days" before A3 82. The Avengers defeat the Wrecking Crew, but local resident Kelsey Leigh dies from injuries she sustains while defending Captain America from "Thunderball." Green grass and trees in England. AVENGERS v3 #79 The same day as A3 78. Tensions run high as the Avengers deal with the death of Kelsey Leigh - Cap and Hawkeye argue about the latter's inadvertent exposure of Leigh's corpse to her kids, Cap and She-Hulk try to console the kids, and Jan and Hank have an argument about Hank's past physical abuse of her. Angry about "Thunderball"'s brutality, Hawkeye pays a visit to the jailed Wrecking Crew, only to be savagely beaten by them. Green grass and trees in England. AVENGERS v3 #80 The same day as A3 79. Poised between life and death, Kelsey meets Brian Braddock and Meggan and chooses the sword of might over the amulet of right, turning her into the new Captain Britain. As the Wrecking Crew flees the Avengers, she intercepts and skewers "Thunderball," who seeks to draw strength from a mysterious master. The three of them and Wanda disappear. Green grass and trees in England. AVENGERS v3 #81 The same day as A3 80. This story must occur before ASMU2 7-FB (4:2), probably before S-H3 5, and I have Brian Braddock here before X 444. The new Captain Britain and Wanda, joined by Cap, defeat Morgan Le Fey and her black knight, the ersatz "Thunderball," and free Braddock and Meggan from captivity. The Avengers return to New York with new member Captain Britain and her family, who take residence at Avengers Embassy and cannot be told that Kelsey is the new hero in their midst. Wasp and Hawkeye are sent to the infirmary. Green grass and trees in England. Tuesday, August 12 MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN v2 #3 - FB (15:2) One day. This flashback must occur after ASMU2 3/2. The Owl, "fresh out of jail" (perhaps after having been put there after his defeat in DD2 45), is "re-establishing himself" and "doesn't have a decent gang together yet." He sends Electro and Vulture out to collect an debt for the Kingpin. SPELLBINDERS #5 - FB One day during the "August" before SPELLBINDERS 4 (9:6). After breaking up with Chad, Sally's powers are turned against her and she freezes to death. WONDER MAN v3 #1 - FB One day. Simon considers Captain America, not himself, as "a super hero." Simon has lunch with his former agent Neal, who asks him how the Scarlet Witch is. Simon tells Neal about how Wanda went nuts and people were killed, but this can't be a reference to the events of Disassembled - rather, it must be a reference to a previous event with details manipulated by Neal. Simon tries to convince Neal that it's possible to turn folks from evil to good. After lunch, they are fiercely attacked by Ladykiller. She and Simon battle and Simon wins. Neal bets Simon that he can't reform Ladykiller and proposes to make a documentary about his effort to do so. Ladykiller awakens to discover she's been collared with a device that causes her pain when she's hostile. Simon proposes that she cooperate and introduces her to Hank McCoy and Carol Danvers. WONDER MAN v3 #2 - FB (4-7) The same night as WM3 1-FB. Simon shows Ladykiller her quarters and tells her he's going to rehabilitate her. Inhibited by a restraining collar that prevents her from trying to hurt others, Ladykiller tries to escape, but winds up in Beast's presence. Wednesday, August 13 [BTS] One day, "just a few weeks" before M/KSM 6 (4-22). Tigra and Wonder Man fight Boomerang, according to Sandman. WONDER MAN v3 #2 - FB (8-22) The day after WM3 2-FB (4-7). Ladykiller tells Simon about being sold into sexual slavery at age twelve. Simon talks to Carol Danvers about his charge. That night, Ladykiller attempts to escape, only to end up again in Beast's presence. In the billiard room, she tells Simon about her encounter with the Mandarin. Then, Ladykiller successfully escapes, but returns. Beast sees hope for her. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #12 (1-12) It is "Wednesday," so it must be "two days" after SPECSM2 11 (10-23); Curt may have been unconscious for much of that time, while Peter tended to him. At "7:18 PM," Peter takes Curt to a "safe place" in the sewers to chill while Peter does some investigating. At "10:33 PM," a security guard delivers to the Bugle a surveillance camera videotape showing Spidey and the Lizard's transformation into a man. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #19 One day. Because Daredevil cameos here, this story must occur after DD2 60 (1-21). Marlo decides to leave Moondragon (who must appear here after THANOS 3) to return to Rick. Genis broadcasts a recording by Rick to all of earth from Titan. Phyla argues for assuming the name Captain Marvel. A future version of Marlo shows up on Titan and fights Genis before dying. Daredevil cameos. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #20 The same day as CM6 19. Genis travels to the future to prevent the events leading to Marlo's death. Meanwhile, Phyla drops in on Marlo and Moondragon. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #21 The same day as CM6 20. Genis continues his mission in the future, while the Magus attempts to abduct Marlo, only to be driven back by Phyla. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #22 The same day as CM6 21. As Genis continues his mission in the future, Phyla takes Marlo to safety and the Magus returns and attacks Moondragon. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #23 The same day as CM6 22. Phyla and Marlo arrive on Hyperion, where they see Moondragon's defeat by Magus on a viewscreen. Rick Jones spends time in the future. CAPTAIN MARVEL v6 #24 The same day as CM6 23. This story must occur before WM3 5-FB. To save the future, Genis kills his own infant son at a point "years" from now. Magus claims Moondragon as a disciple. WOLVERINE v3 #14 (1-11) One day, probably a couple of days after W3 13 (17-22). Sabretooth reports back to the shady company that Wolverine is on the Native's trail. Meanwhile, in British Columbia, Logan tracks down the Native's burrow and discovers cave painting-style art that indicates that she escaped the Weapon X project at the same time he did. We see leafless trees and green grass and bushes in B.C. Full moon. Thursday, August 14 WOLVERINE v3 #14 (12-22) The morning after W3 14 (1-11). Logan and the Native encounter one another and, after a savage fight, they kiss. We see leafless trees and green grass and bushes in B.C. AVENGERS v3 #82 One day, "days" after A3 78. Hawkeye (his leg and hand in casts) and the Wasp are still recovering from injuries sustained in A3 79-81 and Hank Pym reverts to his Giant-Man identity. There is no reference to Tony being Secretary of State. The new Captain Britain gives Captain America a piece of her mind at a memorial service for Kelsey Leigh, leading Cap, Hank, and Iron Man to suspect that Britain is Kelsey. Clint and Jan share a kiss. Meanwhile in the Middle East, in an effort to reform the Invaders, Union Jack, Spitfire, and John Walker (now resuming a Captain America identity) retrieve Blazing Skull from captivity. Green grass and trees in New York. AVENGERS v3 #83 The same day as A3 82. The new Invaders ally themselves with Namor against the nation of Mazikhandar. Hank Pym discovers Jan and Clint sharing a romantic moment. If this is the only time that Jan and Clint have sex, then it's roughly anywhere from a week or so to about three weeks before A 503-FB (1-3). Green grass and trees in New York. AVENGERS v3 #84 The same day as A3 83. It is "not long" after A3 70 (16-20). The Avengers fight the Invaders in Mazikhandar and Walker learns he was set up by Dell Rusk a while back. The Mazikhandarian despot is overthrown and his successor assassinates him before the heroes' eyes. Hawkeye no longer has his casts (that was a quick healing). Green grass and shrubs in Manhattan. NEW INVADERS #0 The same day as A3 84. It is "months" before INV3 6 and long enough before INV3 1 for attacks on Mazikhandar to occur "at regular intervals." The Invaders and Avengers deal with the situation as the Thin Man hints at an unknown agenda behind everything. Namor makes Mazikhandar an Atlantean protectorate and installs Sulumor as advisor. WONDER MAN v3 #3 - FB Perhaps the day after W3 2-FB (8-22). Huan calls Carol "Ms. Marvel," but this story must occur during the time Carol was Warbird; either this was an accident or an intentional misnomer, as the name appears in quotes. Simon has a training session with Ladykiller, who shows him and Carol that she has an impulse for unnecessary killing. Lord Thunder and two associates fly on a plane, aiming to get Ladykiller. Ladykiller tells Carol she's tired of Simon's moralizing "day after day." Carol gets Ladykiller to talk about her parents, as Simon and Hank listen in. They are relieved to discover that Ladykiller didn't kill her parents but feels responsible for their deaths. This encourages Simon, who reports to Neal Saroyan that things with Ladykiller are progressing. Neal is visited by Lord Thunder and his associates. A day of rain and clear weather in L.A., where we see green grass and trees. WONDER MAN v3 #4 - FB The same night as WM3 3-FB. It is a "week" before WM3 5-FB. Simon releases Ladykiller from her control collar. Saroyan, the head of the Nobility, discusses the Ladykiller situation with Lord Thunder and his associates, all members of the Nobility. Beast and Carol express their concern to Simon about Ladykiller's release. Ladykiller plays hero by busting up a gang and a police marksman tries to take a shot at her. Simon arrives and takes Ladykiller from the scene. Lord Thunder shows up and kills the marksman. Ladykiller tells Simon she played hero for him, and Simon asks her to be his date at a "gathering at Stark Towers that celebrates the anniversary of Captain America's joining" the Avengers "next week;" this reference does not correlate with the same calendar date as A 4. Carol and Hank believe the date idea is a bad one. The Nobility regroup and Saroyan reveals his plan to use Ladykiller to destroy the Avengers. Green grass and trees. Full moon. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #12 (13-21) The day after PPTSS2 12 (1-12). M.J. is back from her photo shoot. That rainy evening, Spidey checks in on Curt in the sewer hideout and tells him they made the paper. Curt turns into the Lizard and attacks Spidey. We see green trees and light, long- sleeve clothing in New York. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #13 (1-16) The same night as PPTSS2 12 (13-21).

Friday, August 15 WOLVERINE v3 #15 The morning after W3 14 (12-22). Sabretooth tracks Wolverine and the Native down, and although he gets the drop on them, the Native defeats him again and drives him off. She then leads Logan to her "home," a cabin in the woods, that he vaguely remembers. We see evergreens and snow-capped bushes in B.C. DAREDEVIL v2 #55 (17:2-22) One day, probably months after DD2 55 (15-17), long enough for Maya to become a noted figure in the New York arts world. Since Daredevil is in costume and does not have a goatee here, this segment must occur after DD2 60 (1-21). Maya (wearing a fur coat) and Daredevil meet on a rooftop. We see blowing leaves. WOLVERINE v3 #16 The same day as W3 15. Logan tries to get answers about their shared past from the Native, but they are interrupted by three helicopters full of strike troops from the shady company. Logan destroys two of the 'copters and their men, but the third captures the Native, and Logan is hit with a high-voltage taser. Hours later, he regains consciousness to find Sabretooth standing over him. Green grass in B.C. Full moon. WOLVERINE v3 #17 (1-6) The same night as W3 16. Native arrives at the Workshop, Dr. Vapor quotes "a day at least" for decontamination and "the better part of a week" for a successful operation, but is told to rush things. Logan awakens and examines the dead company men, and Sabretooth explains that they both want vengeance on the company. Full moon. Saturday, August 16 WOLVERINE v3 #17 (7-12) The day after W3 17 (1-6). Logan reaches Sabretooth's humvee and disables the bomb the company had left underneath it. They begin to drive.

RUNAWAYS v2 #14 - FB (17-18) One day, after RUN 17 (17-23), "a few months" after RUN2 14-FB (11-16), and "months" before RUN2 14-FB (19-22). Sometime after Alex's disappearance, his gamer friends have a reunion where Hunter says he's hacked into Alex's old account and seen a (biased) presentation of the Pride, as well as instructions to bring him back. FRANKLIN RICHARDS SUPER SUMMER SPECTACULAR #1 One day. As the FF (in street clothes) and Herbie watch his last baseball game of the season, Franklin tries to get an edge by
using Impacto Kinetic Amplification Gel on his bat. He eventually hits a home run, but in the bottom of the ninth he drops a pop
fly when his glove explodes. Peewee football starts in "a few weeks." Sunday, August 17 WOLVERINE v3 #17 (13-21) The early morning after W3 17 (7-12).

In the Himalayas, a Shadow Thief reports back to his master, Chi, with Iron Fist's abandoned mask. Danny is at his new home in Colorado. Mary Blue Cloud arrives and asks for Iron Fist's help. Danny tells that he's retired and that she should go away. He reluctantly listens to her story, but isn't interested. However, the weather's terrible, so he agrees to let her stay the night. During the night, the house is attacked by Shadow Thieves. Iron Fist fights them. Green trees in Colorado. IRON FIST v4 #3 (1-11:2) The same night as IF 2.

Then he phones his NYPD contact, Lt. Scarfe and exchanges information on recent killings by the Thieves. However, then Iron Fist realizes that Mary's bus is full of Shadow Thieves, and he breaks off to rescue her. After defeating the Shadow Thieves again, Danny reluctantly agrees to drive Mary back home himself. Green grass and trees in Colorado. WOLVERINE v3 #19 - FB (3-4) The day after W3 18.

Daredevil stands on top of a gargoyle atop a building in a pin-up that is seen at FBI headquarters in DD2 65. HAWKEYE v3 #7 - FB (9-13) One day. An uninjured Hawkeye investigates the murder of a Brooklyn deli owner Anatoly Krylenko, whose funeral is today. Cap appears. Green trees in New York. HAWKEYE v3 #7 The same day as HAWK3 7-FB (9-13). It is "years" after HAWK3 7-FB (1-3). Hawkeye discovers that Krylenko may be Vladimir Pradov, a former Soviet colonel responsible for 2000 civilian deaths in Afghanistan. That night, Clint encounters Black Widow, who claims to have killed Krylenko. HAWKEYE v3 #8 (4-5) The same night as HAWK3 7. It is "years" after HAWK3 8-FB. The Widow escapes from Clint. Tuesday, August 19 IRON FIST v4 #4 (4:4-21:3) The day after IF 3 (11-22). Early in the morning "somewhere in South Dakota," Danny watches over Mary as she sleeps at the roadside. That day, Danny and Mary drive on and arrive at the Blue Cloud home, where Mary's parents happily greet Iron Fist. The Shadow Thieves carry out another random killing at a motel. After dinner, Danny chats with Mary's mother, who talks about Mary's powers. Yet another corpse is delivered to Karen Hildebrande. A Shadow Thief attacks the Blue Cloud home and Iron Fist defeats it. Green grass and trees in South Dakota. Full moon. HAWKEYE v3 #8 (6-8:3) The day after HAWK3 8 (4-5). At Avengers "Mansion" (should be "Embassy"), Clint talks to Gyrich about the Krylenko killing, then he talks with Krylenko's widow in Brooklyn, then he flies to Moscow, where we see bare trees. Green grass and trees in New York. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #13 (17-21) The "Tuesday" after PPTSS2 13 (1-16). This segment occurs before M/KSM 7 (1-2). Curt Connors gets himself put in jail by staging a bank robbery. Peter visits him and Curt explains that his incarceration is best Billy's sake. WOLVERINE v3 #19 - FB (5-19) The day after W3 19-FB (3-4). Sabretooth incapacitates Logan and kills the Native (and Logan's unborn child). This flashback begins in the early morning - "two days, three hours, forty-one minutes" before W3 19 - and ends at night - "one day, five hours, seventeen minutes ago" before W3 19. Green grass and trees in B.C. SHE-HULK v3 #5 One day. Nova is probably here after A/TB 3, the Wrecking Crew after A3 81, the Rhino after M/KSM 6-FB (11), and Night Thrasher before NW3 3-FB (15:2). On a day that GLH&H offices are open, the New Warriors defeat Southpaw, who is sent to the Big House, where a bunch of villains are kept shrunken in size. Southpaw turns out to be Holden Holliway's granddaughter and when he and She-Hulk go to see her, the miniaturized, incarcerated villains break free and hitch a ride on Shulkie. Green trees in New York. SHE-HULK v3 #6 (1-20) The same day as S-H3 5. It is a "few months" after S-H3 2 (1-13). Sandman may appear here before ID 1 (3-8), Electro (in classic costume) before M/KSM 2, Rhino before ASMU2 6 (1-7), and the Wrecking Crew before TB2 2 (1-9). Holloway and Jennifer return to the GLH&H offices, where Hank Pym enlarges the shrunken Southpaw and the escaped villains enlarge as well. She-Hulk and Yellowjacket, assisted by Awesome Android and Southpaw, defeat the villains. Andy rejects the programming of the Mad Thinker, whose android body is decapitated. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #14 (1-9) One day. The dislocation of Spidey's shoulder in PPTSS2 6 (8-22) is noted as having occurred "recently." CP victim Joey Beal watches New York from the rooftop of his building. The weather is warm enough for him to wear a short-sleeved shirt. Wednesday, August 20 IRON FIST v4 #4 (21:4-21:6) The morning after IF 4 (4-21). Danny leaves with Mary, having reluctantly accepted that he needs to stick with her in order to fulfil her visions. Mary's parents watch them leave. Green grass and trees in South Dakota. SHE-HULK v3 #6 (21-22) The day after S-H3 6 (1-20). Damage Control shows up to repair the damage to the GLH&H offices. Awesome Android takes the day off. There is a reference to a "Yankees" game, so this story must occur before late October. Pug says it "must be Wednesday." HAWKEYE v3 #8 (8:4-19) The day after HAWK3 8 (6-8). It is "days" before HAWK3 8 (20-22). Hawkeye gets a new bow and arrows in Moscow (from a contact of Marc Spector's) and heads by train to Siberia, where we see bare trees and snow. He meets up with the Widow and they both prevent the theft of sarin-filled missiles from an old weapon silo. Hawkeye's bow arm is injured in the process. SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN v3 #14 (10-23) The day after PPTSS2 14 (1-9). Spidey saves Joey Beal from an attack by Morbius. SON OF A GENIUS: EVERYBODY LOVES FRANKLIN #1/4 One day. This story may occur days before the birthday depicted in FOUR 1 (1-6). Franklin sneaks into his mom's closet, where he finds Herbie guarding some presents. Herbie says, "These presents are not to be touched until your birthday, this weekend." Franklin, though, has an invso-ray gun to get a peek inside. Unfortunately, he has the gun pointed backwards and makes himself (and the gun) invisible. In a panic he fires a few mores times at random. He trips over an invisible stool and loses the gun. Herbie flies to the kitchen (past Sue) to grab a bag of powdered sugar, with which he covers the room so the two can see the gun. They re-inviso-ray everything and clean up the powered sugar. Sue pokes her head in as Franklin tries to suggest that he wasn't looking for his presents. Sue responds "What presents?" as she makes them invisible, confusing poor Franklin. Thursday, August 21 WOLVERINE v3 #19 - FB (1-2) One early morning, two days after W3 19-FB (5-19). Nightcrawler (in street clothes) waits for Logan at Jo's bar in Manhattan. WOLVERINE v3 #19 The same rainy early morning (before "dawn") as ("twenty-six minutes" after) W3 19-FB (1-2). Logan arrives at Jo's bar to have Kurt give the Native last rites. WEAPON X v2 #19 - FB One morning. Marrow's Gene Nation conducts their "sixth attack on a Weapon X-related facility in as many months." This means that this flashback occurs at least six months, inclusive, after WX2 13 (12-21). IRON FIST v4 #5 (1:1-1:2) One day. A Shadow Thief in South Sioux Falls begins to glow with energy and then turns into a bolt of energy which flies upwards. DAREDEVIL v2 #65 - FB (34) One day. Daredevil appears with the Hulk in a pin-up that is seen at FBI headquarters in DD2 65. ROGUE v3 #5 - FB (17:5-18:3) One day. Dream Beasts appear in Mississippi and Campbell St. Ange investigates their origin by traveling to the Far Banks, where he discovers a malevolent force, Rogue's mother. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #5/2 (11) One day, "a few weeks" after ASMU2 5/2 (1-10). Peter Parker checks up on the hostage that he rescued. We see falling autumn leaves. WONDER MAN v3 #5 - FB One day, a "week" after WM3 4-FB. Avengers Mansion is intact, so this story must occur before A 500 (1-8). Thor is shown here in his classic costume, so this story must occur before T2 80 (7-22). Genis is shown here in his classic Captain Marvel garb, so this story must occur after CM6 24. Hawkeye is not seen here; perhaps he is out of the country as shown in HAWK3. The Avengers throw a bash at Avengers Mansion "celebrating the anniversary of Captain America joining the team;" this does not line up calendar-wise with the anniversary of A 4. The Beast is seen in his Reload "diaper" costume here; apparently Hank is switching between this and his Morrison leathers at this point, as he appears in the latter in "Disassembled." Huan becomes Ladyfair and Carol questions Simon's relationship with her. The Nobility count on Huan's true nature resurfacing in a planned attack on the Avengers at their party that night. Wonder Man introduces Ladyfair to the party's attendees, which include She-Hulk, Justice, Thor, Dr. strange, the FF, Wolverine, Shadowcat, Cyclops, Spider-Man, Cage, Wasp, Iron Man, Daredevil, Warbird, Beast, Black Panther, Songbird, Moondragon, Quicksilver, Valkyrie, Yellowjacket, Falcon, and Spider-Woman (apparently Jessica Drew decked out in her costume, but without her powers fully restored). Through a tiny receiver in her jaw, Huan gets a command from Neal to poison the punch, which she does. But when Cap goes to drink it, Huan knocks it away. Fearing what she might do under Neal's mind control, Huan spills the beans about Neal and mortally stabs herself. Simon flies across the country and bursts into Neal's office, only to find him killed by his associates. Green tree in New York. Friday, August 22 IRON FIST v4 #5 (1:3-22) The day after IF 5 (1). Other Shadow Thieves turn into energy bolts in Paris, Rio, London and New York. All of the energy flies to the Himalayas and energizes Chi. Following a lead from Scarfe, Danny and Mary go to visit Karen. Karen agrees to talk to them and reveals that she herself was once a Shadow Thief. Karen has traced one of the Shadow Thieves to a warehouse address, and she invites Iron Fist to join her in visiting it. In the Himalayas, Chi talks with the Whispers on the Wind. Iron Fist drops Karen off in a motel, and then heads to the warehouse. Meanwhile, Karen goes to the motel and abducts Mary, with encouragement from the Whispers on the Wind. Iron Fist soon realizes that he has been tricked, but by the time he gets back to the motel, Karen and Mary are gone. Iron Fist improvises a costume for himself and puts on a makeshift mask. IRON FIST v4 #6 (1) The same day as IF 5 (1-22). It is "eight days" before IF 6 (2-22). Mary and Karen teleport to the Himalayas. SHE-HULK v3 #8 - FB (4:1-4:4) One day. The Champion has taken over the planet Skardon and challenges the cosmos to dethrone him through combat in a cosmic boxing arena. Adam Warlock answers the call and beats Champion, but because Warlock violated the rules, the Skard nurse Champion back to health. WEAPON X v2 #19 The day after WX2 19-FB. Maverick infiltrates an old safehouse of Cable's, only to discover that it's been taken over by Marrow and her Gene Nation, the terrorist successors to Nathan's underground movement. Marrow convinces Maverick to join Gene Nation. Unbeknownst to them, Agent Zero is in the facility. At Weapon X headquarters, Chamber discovers a room of telepaths. WEAPON X v2 #20 The same day as WX2 19. Chamber contacts Logan, who is at the Hellfire Club, and reports on the telepaths; he plans to stow away on a transport about to leave for Neverland. Agent Zero forces Marrow to divulge Grand Central Station as the location of Gene Nation's current job, and Zero hurries there to face Maverick, who he believes to be the terrorist. In reality, the terrorist is a living bomb who explodes herself. In the rubble, Weapon Zero unmasks Maverick. Logan does not appear in any costume during this story arc. WEAPON X v2 #21 The same day as WX2 20. Maverick turns out to be Bolt, and Weapon Zero turns our to be Maverick. Bolt dies and Agent Zero hunts down Gene Nation, slaying hordes of operatives, but sparing Marrow. Zero reports back to Weapon X headquarters, which he finds deserted. Logan tracks Chamber to Neverland, which he finds deserted. Full moon. WEAPON X v2 #23 The same night as WX2 21. The message "Roanoke" is discovered by Logan at Neverland, Agent Zero at Weapon X headquarters, and Fantomex at the empty grave of John Sublime. Full moon. WEAPON X v2 #24 (1-16) The same night as WX2 23. Fantomex goes to Weapon X headquarters, where he battles Agent Zero until they decide to work together. Logan takes a train to Roanoke. Saturday, August 23 WEAPON X v2 #24 (17-22) The morning after WX2 24 (1-16). Fantomex and Agent Zero arrive at Roanoke, where they encounter Logan. WEAPON X v2 #25 (1-21) The same day as WX2 24 (17-22). It is a "year" before WX:DOFN 1 (13-24). Logan recounts his unsuppressed memories of killing innocents as a Weapon X operative. John Sublime emerges alive and well. He tells Logan, Fantomex, and Agent Zero of a war between the Weapon X and Weapon Plus programs and sends the U-Men to kill them. The heroes escape. Green grass and trees in Roanoke. HAWKEYE v3 #8 (20-22) One day, "days" after HAWK3 8 (8-19). Clint has his arm in a sling from his injury, and I've placed this segment long enough before A 503-FB (1-3) for the arm to heal. He talks to Natasha about Krylenko's family. Then he visits Eden, a girlfriend from his circus days who is being released from prison after what must be more than a "ten-hitch." SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6 (1-7) One day, "three days" before ASMU 6 (9-11). Spidey gets his clock cleaned by the Rhino, who I presume appears here after S- H3 6 (1-20). Spidey ends up with a fractured forearm in a sling, plus other injuries. FOUR #1 (1-6) A "Saturday," a "few months" before FOUR 12. It is Franklin's "8th" birthday, so it must be the same day of the year as FF @6, which was established in OMITFF 5 as occurring in late August. Naturally, Franklin must be quite a bit older than eight, but the age clue does place this story after FF3 60 (3-9), in which he is noted as being "seven." This may be the birthday that was noted as approaching in FF 505, and given that the team is together and Reed's face is fine in this story, it may be after FF 511; and given the references in FF 512-513 to the story arc that ended in FF 511, and given the late August setting here and the water park opening in FF 512, this story likely occurs after FF 513. This may also be the birthday referenced as approaching in SG:ELF 1/4; if so, then this segment occurs during the "weekend." Cap and She-Hulk appear at Franklin's party. The FF are told that the federal government's funding has dried up, and that the "money manager" that Reed hired, Terry Giocometti, embezzled their funds, left them broke, and fled the country. (The same manager also stole funds from Stark Industries and Osborn Corporation, but neither of those losses was as devastating as the FF's). The FF now have to find jobs or declare bankruptcy; nothing is mentioned about Reed's patent income. Johnny has a girlfriend named Kourtney, and Valeria must be nearly eighteen months old here. THOR v2 #80 (7-22) One day, "one month" ("thirty days") after T2 80 (5-6). This segment must occur after XS 25, XS 26-FB (5-6), and WM3 5-FB. Thor notes that he's killed Fin Fang Foom. Loki, Surtur, Ulik, Fenris, the Midgard Serpent, and Hymer the Giant, armed with weapons forged from Mjolnir's mold, attack Asgard. They kill Amora and slice off Sif's arm. Thor smashes his hammer as he vanquishes Loki's allies and is nearly killed by Loki before teleporting to New York to enlist the aid of the Avengers. THOR v2 #81 The same day as T2 80 (7-22). As Thor, Cap, and Iron Man survey the death and destruction in Asgard, they are attacked by Loki and his allies. After the heroes drive off their foes, they discover that Balder has been killed. Thor vows to avenge Balder's death, but refuses the Avengers' help and sends Cap and Iron Man back to earth. THOR v2 #82 (1-5) The same day as T2 81. It is "two months" before T2 82 (6-9) and before T2 82-FB. The Warriors Three and the wounded Sif are attacked by the ship Naglfar. Sunday, August 24 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6 (8:1-8:5) The day after ASMU2 6 (1-7). Peter Parker thinks about his battle with the Rhino, which is reported in a newspaper that states that the (probably topical) weather forecast is "partly cloudy, chance of snow. High 25-30." DAREDEVIL v2 #65 - FB (35) One day. Daredevil fights a bunch of ninjas atop a building in a pin-up that is seen in FBI headquarters in DD2 65. SHE-HULK v3 #8 - FB (4:5-4:6) One day. Adam Warlock and company teleport around the universe and find cosmic strongmen to fight the Champion. Champion defeats them all, including Drax. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #11 One day, "around" UX 444. Rachel is upset about Scott's being with Emma Frost so soon after Jean's demise and has a heart-to- heart talk with Alex about her feelings. Green grass and trees at Westchester. Full moon. GRAVITY #1 (1-20) One day. Greg Willis arrives in New York City from Wisconsin via bus, thinking about the accident last summer that gave him his gravity powers and his high school graduation. He's come to make a name for himself as a super-hero and to go to college at New York University, where it is "the day before classes" start. After seeing some of the city, he meets with his advisor, James Whitemore. Their meeting is interrupted by a fight between Rage and Black Death. Greg changes to Gravity and decks Rage, not realizing he's the good guy. Black Death holds Gravity in a dark energy, but Rage comes to and Black Death escapes, promising he'll see Gravity again. Greg returns to his dorm room and meets his roommate, Frog, who's been at NYU for "orientation" for "a week." That evening, Gravity goes on patrol, and although he helps a few people, it doesn't go well. He also comes across the Thing battling Man-Bull, and Ben tells Gravity to buzz off. Ready to give up for the night, Gravity rushes an elderly woman to the hospital and falls asleep in the waiting room. Iron Man cameos. Full moon. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #1 (1-3) One night, sometime after ASM 508. After determining that the "chosen one" is not in Los Angeles, the mage Miguel is attacked by a gunman, who Miguel puts to sleep with a spell. Full moon. Monday, August 25 GRAVITY #1 (21-22) The day after GRAV 1 (1-20). At 7:30 AM, a nurse wakes Gravity and notes that the old woman would be dead if he hadn't brought her to the hospital. Late for class, Gravity heads to NYU and meets classmate Lauren Singh, who races him to class. It is the first day of classes of the academic year. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6 (8:6-9:3) Perhaps the day after ASMU2 6 (8). Wearing an arm sling, Peter Parker teaches a school class and obsesses about the Rhino. Peter's class seems to have students younger than high-school age; this may be a special summer class that Peter agreed to teach for the school district. ASTONISHING X-MEN v3 #1 (1-11:3) One day. Kitty arrives at the Institute with her luggage and her hair cut (an inaccurate artist interpretation?) - she remarks to herself, "Nothing has changed. The place was destroyed, and now it looks like nothing happened. No time has passed." There is no obvious construction happening at the Institute. Kitty immediately walks into an indoor school assembly at which (after an introductory speech by Scott) Emma introduces the senior staff (all in civilian clothing) - "Since Professor Xavier is away on sabbatical, Mr. Summers and myself will be acting heads of school. Doctor McCoy and Miss Pryde will round out the senior staff along with Logan, who is...elsewhere" (perhaps not back from WX2 25?). Emma pulls a stunt at the assembly that she labels "the first lesson" - presumably classes begin after this point. FOUR #1 (7-22) One day, probably two days after FOUR 1 (1-6), as it is a school day for Franklin (probably the very beginning of a new school year) and the Pembroke Academy (where Alicia teaches art) is open. Valeria is old enough to sit up in a high chair. Sue gets a job substitute teaching, Ben finds a job, and Johnny struggles to find an acting job. Reed tells Sue that the mayor is evicting the FF from the Baxter Building. Green grass and trees and light clothing in New York. SHE-HULK v3 #7 (1-18) One day. This story must occur after S-H4 3/2. Beta Ray Bill probably appears here before T2 85. As She-Hulk and Southpaw argue about Holloway sticking them together for the past "few days," the Living Tribunal's agents, the Magistrati, materialize at GLK&H and offer Jennifer a place in their order. She accepts, and she and Southpaw are whisked across the cosmos. She-Hulk finds herself presiding over the Star Chamber, a cosmic claims court. One such case involves the Watchers. Green trees in New York. Meanwhile, Champion defeats Beta Ray Bill and Gladiator in battle on Skardon. SHE-HULK v4 #20 - FB (9:5) The same day as S-H3 7 (1-18). She-Hulk presides over the case of a Watcher who witnesses the Recluses, a race that wishes to remain anonymous. SHE-HULK v3 #7 (19:1-19:4) The same day as S-H4 20-FB (9:5). Watchers Zoma, Uatu, and Qyre present their case. SHE-HULK v4 #20 - FB (9:6) The same day as S-H3 7 (19:1-19:4). She-Hulk considers the testimony. SHE-HULK v3 #7 (19:5-20:4) The same day as S-H4 20-FB (9:6). She-Hulk renders a decision that the Recluses find acceptable. Qyre loses his mouth so he can tell no one of the true nature of the Recluses. SHE-HULK v4 #20 - FB (10:1-10:3) The same day as S-H3 7 (19-20). She-Hulk dismisses the case. The Recluses are afraid that She-Hulk might someday reverse the decision and decide to have RT-Z9 watch her. SHE-HULK v3 #7 (20:5-22) The same day as S-H4 20-FB (10:1-10:3). Champion defeats Adam Warlock on Skardon. RT-Z9 tells She-Hulk her next assignment is on Skardon. SHE-HULK v3 #8 (1-12) The same day as S-H3 7 (20-22). It is supposed to be "almost three months" before S-H3 8 (13-14), "three months" before S-H3 8 (15-18), and "three solar months" before S-H3 8 (18-22), but it may actually be three weeks. Pip summons She-Hulk to Skardon, where she finds Gladiator, Drax, Beta Ray Bill, and Silver Surfer - here after SS4 14, and perhaps C&DP 10 - hospitalized with injuries inflicted by Champion. Warlock cocoons himself (something he shouldn't be able to do at this point). Champion defeats She-Hulk, but she files an appeal. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #1 (4-22) The day after AAF2 1 (1-3). It is "the first day of school" at a high school in Brooklyn, probably 11 or 12 years after AAF2 1- FB. Freshman Anya Corazon gets into a fight with a bully named Trent. That night, she goes to meet the bully in the park and encounters Miguel battling the Sisterhood of the Wasp. Miguel realizes that Anya is the initiate, and seeks to protect her, but she is stabbed by one of the thugs. Miguel dispatches the thugs with a spell. Green trees in New York. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #2 (1-3) The same night as AAF2 1 (4-22). Miguel performs a spell, saving Anya's life, and officially making her "the initiate." As part of the spell, Miguel takes Anya's locket and Anya falls unconscious. Green trees in New York. Tuesday, August 26 ASTONISHING X-MEN v3 #1 (11:4-17, 18:3-18:5) The morning after ASTONX3 1 (1-11). Logan shows up in Scott's and Emma's bedroom and a brawl ensues over Jean. The fuss raised by Logan over the prospect of costumes places this segment before any of his appearances in his Reload costume (e.g. X 157). Scott notes that "Avengers, Fantastic Four - they don't get chased through the streets with torches." (Apparently the Avengers haven't disbanded yet, since Scott refers to them in the present tense; the impression is that Disassembled hasn't happened yet.) Later, Logan and Kitty wait for Lockheed to arrive. Kitty notes that "Lockheed wanted to fly on his own. I thought he'd beat me here..." Logan says, "The dragon'll show. I did." Kitty responds, "Big entrance," and Logan replies "Sorry about that. Wasn't planning it, I just...sometimes I go off." This dialog implies that this segment occurs later the same day as ASTONX3 1 (14-17). Green grass and trees at Westchester. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #2 (4-22) The day after AAF2 1 (1-3). Anya wakes up to find herself hatching from a cocoon above her bed with her wound healed and a tattoo of a spider on her arm. At school, she discovers her locket missing and starts to remember the previous night's events. Miguel shows up and watches her practice gymnastics after school. Then Anya goes to the park to look for her locket and encounters Miguel, who tells her to stop by WebCorps tomorrow afternoon after school. He quickly disappears, leaving Anya confused. We see green grass and trees and sporadic rain in New York. FOUR #2 Probably the day after FOUR 1 (7-22), given the newspaper headline. Sue, Ben, and Johnny search for an apartment before Sue begins her first day teaching English at Pembrooke Academy. Kourtney ditches Johnny. Ben stops jewel thieves on his break. Reed forgets to pick up Franklin from school. Green grass and trees in New York. The narration notes that the night brings "the first cold rain of the season" and that "tomorrow, the leaves in Central Park will start to change colors," but given Franklin's August birthday, this reference must be topical. UNCANNY X-MEN #444 (1-7) One "sunny summer afternoon". We see green grass and trees. Baseball game between "Storm's team" ("the visitors," with Cannonball, Wolverine, Magma, Sage, Rogue, Gambit) and "the home team" (Beast, Cyclops, Husk, Kitty Pryde, Emma Frost, and "Rachel Grey - the newly-minted Marvel Girl"), with Dani and Shan in the ersatz broadcast booth - everyone's in civilian clothing. Kitty has long hair (wow, that haircut grew out fast!). Lockheed is present, Gambit is sighted, and students are present in the stands. Scott: "Why are you on Storm's team, Wolverine? Isn't your place here, with the Institute?" Logan: "I make my own place, bub. Just like I choose my own friends." Scott: "What's that supposed to mean?" Logan: "Stay focused, Scotty." (It appears that Logan is irked at Scott, quite possibly still holding a grudge about Scott's relationship with Emma following Jean's death.) SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #7 - FB (4:2) One day. This flashback must occur after A3 81. The new Captain Britain stops the Rhino, as pictured on a web site presumably the next day. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6 - FB Probably the day after ASMU2 6 (8-9) and the same day as ASMU 7-FB (4:2). The Avengers (Cap and Iron Man) apprehend the Rhino after a stand-off at Queens Mall; this presumably follows his defeat by Captain Britain. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6 (9:4-11) The same night as ASMU2 6-FB. Probably the night of the day after ASMU2 6 (8-9), as it is "three days" after ASMU2 6 (1-7). Peter thinks more about Rhino, then he sees the TV coverage of the Rhino's capture and goes out again as Spider-Man. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #7 - FB (4:3) It must be the same night as ASMU 7-FB (4:2). Moon Knight is back in action, as pictured on a web site the next day. Full moon. Wednesday, August 27 SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #7 Presumably the morning after ASMU 7-FB (4:2) and (4:3) and thus the day after ASMU2 6 (9-11). An office worker helps Spidey defeat Mysterio. According to a calendar and web site, it is "August 1" (the month may be right) and the calendar indicates that it's a Wednesday (but if it's not, it should be another weekday). FOUR #3 A windy day following "three months of oppressive heat" in New York. Sue oversees the FF's move out of the Baxter Building (perhaps at the end of a month). Reed pays a visit to the unemployment office and is late picking up Franklin from school. Ben is asked by his co-workers to slow down on the job. Johnny turns down a reality TV show. We see green grass and trees but also many trees with autumn leaves; the narration notes "a change in the seasons." X-MEN v2 #157 (1-22) One morning. Early rumblings of the coming of Xorn II occur in China, where someone "references a local Chinese superstition revolving around the month of August." Alex (in Reload costume) is having coffee (and presumably breakfast) and Annie suggests to him, "Let's play hooky today and go to the park." Alex tells Annie, "Scott's setting up the new teams, and he put me in charge of one of them...so we have to make sure everyone's cool with the switch-ups...start drills and practices..." With a taxi waiting, Mrs. Guthrie leaves Jay at the Institute with his luggage - apparently Jay is being dropped off at the Institute and, if this occurs after ASTONX3 (1-11), then Jay already has missed one assembly, the one in which the senior staff was introduced, which explains why he doesn't know who Scott Summers is. (No mention of Melody here as having been enrolled previously, so she may be attending for the first time now. Mrs. G. may already have bid her goodbye prior to this scene just before leaving.) Throughout, Jay is called "Josh." Maybe Cannonball is showing Melody around and given the friction between Sam and Jay, Scott suggested Alex as tour guide for Jay. This is not an official tour, organized for groups of students - like that shown in NX 1 - this is probably a special courtesy to a member of the Guthrie family; it still didn't excuse Jay from having to take the tour in NX 1. Touring the Danger Room, Jay sees Juggernaut (back in his classic brown costume) for the first time and is introduced to Iceman, who argues with Alex about Juggernaut. This prompts Alex to say, "Let's go talk to Scott about changing your assignment to one of the other teams, shall we? Bobby: "What do you mean, you're going to talk to Scott about changing me to another team? You don't have that kind of authority. You're not team leader." Alex: "As of today, yes I am. As one of the 'original students,' I'm surprised you don't check the school bulletin board more frequently." The tour passes by the gym, where we see Rachel and Bishop working out in gym clothes. The tour goes through the greenhouse, where they see Storm - Jay: "She was hot. Who was she?" Sammy: "That was Ororo - Storm. Awesome, isn't she?...But if you think she's hot, wait until you see Emma Frost. Woof." The greenhouse has been finished "for weeks." The tour passes through the cafeteria, where Rogue and Gambit (in costume) are getting "gumbo" (so it's not breakfast - probably lunch) - the two join along and ask to be "unassigned" from Alex's team as they want time for themselves and not be running missions. In Scott's office, everyone has problems with the team assignments - Nightcrawler (in Reload costume) says, "-Scott, my friend, you know this can't work --" (so it's apparently before the Danger Room scene in UX 444 in which he thinks he should work with Ororo and Logan more often); Archangel says, "Genosha?! I don't want to go to Genosha!"; Beast (in Morrison leather) says, "This is an untenable situation, Scott --" (probably because Hank feels that Gambit should not be assigned to a team, given his remarks in examining Remy in UX 444); Kitty (in long hair and pre-Reload leather) says, "Wait, I thought you didn't need me anymore?" This may be a reference to an unseen conversation in which Kitty was told that she'd be on the Institute staff - the reason for her moving back to Westchester in ASTONX3 1 (1-11) - but would not be needed on a combat team; Wolverine (in his Reload costume) says, "Listen, bub, I appreciate the faith in me, but I can't be on all teams" (perhaps Scott made the decision to add Logan to the XSE team after the baseball game in UX 444); Jubilee says, "Please, please, please let me be on Paige's team" (Paige has a team?); Sage says, "Why am I even here?"; Northstar says, "Am I expected just to teach?!"; others present are Polaris, Husk, and Lockheed. Scott replies, "...No adjustments will be made to the team assignments! Period!" Scott is wearing his Reload costume (minus the cowl). Right from there, the tour proceeds to Cerebra, where Emma (in Morrison costume) tells them, "I have an assignment that will take all your minds off this current nonsense....A five-hour flight on a X-plane should bring you all together harmoniously, don't you think?" Green grass and trees at Westchester. UNCANNY X-MEN #444 (8-11) Perhaps the same day as X 157 (1-22). The Institute is mostly completed, but we do see scaffolding and construction equipment there. Sage uses her cyber glasses to call up web database icons, incl. the Avengers, the FF, the Hellfire Club, Purity, White House; no implications that she actually enters those databases. Beast, Sunspot, Vange Whedon, and assorted students are poolside at Xavier's. Melody and Jay Guthrie mug for a TV camera (presumably a live broadcast by "MBS-TV," since the reporter's name is on screen) and Sam (in XSE costume) shoos the media away - Sam: "You, Jay, should know better!" Jay: "You're not the boss of me, not now, not ever!" (Jay should be here after he was dropped off at the Institute in X 157.) Beast (I suppose fresh from his swim) examines Gambit (no bandage) - Gambit: "I check out perfect, n'est-ce pas?" Beast: "I'm sorry, Gambit. But both Storm and I feel you need more time in rehab. Just to be sure your restored powers are as 'perfect' as you claim." The implication is that the exam is entirely related to Remy's powers, not to blindness. Our theory: Storm requested Beast to examine Gambit because Remy was determined to join his team on the China assignment given just prior to this in X 157. Green grass and trees in Westchester. X-MEN v2 #157 (23-25) The same day as X 157 (1-22) and perhaps as UX 444 (8-11). After that "five-hour flight," Havok, Polaris, Iceman, Juggernaut, Wolverine, Rogue, and Gambit (who we determine has ignored Beast's advice) head to China where a tear in the magnetic field leads them to Xorn II. X-MEN v2 #158 The same day as X 157 (7-25). The China adventure continues - the X-Men battle and defeat eight Chinese immortals. In the melee, Gambit is blinded and Xorn II's head cracks open, creating a black hole. Sammy tries to interest Jay in socializing at the Institute - Sammy: "So, uh, Josh...I don't know, you wanna play catch or something?" Jay: "Call me 'Jay,' Sammy. My life as 'Josh' is over. 'Jay' is what the guys in my band call me." (Apparently brother Sam also calls him that, but the name probably originated with the band.) Jay talks to Sammy about his dead girlfriend. Jay and Sammy catch fellow students talking to a tree (Black Tom). Green grass and trees at Westchester. X-MEN v2 #159 The same day as X 158. Havok manages to contain Xorn and sends most of his team, except the bickering Cain and Bobby, to find Xorn's helmet. Both groups encounter the Collective Man and the Chinese army. Gambit's eyes are bandaged. Jay familiarizes himself with Xavier's. Sammy reports to Emma that he thinks Black Tom is on the grounds. Green grass and trees at Westchester X-MEN v2 #160 The same day as X 159. Thanks in large part to Iceman and Polaris, the two groups of X-Men defeat the Collective Man and the Chinese army. They find the containment helmet and get it on Xorn. That night, Alex and Annie have a talk (picking up from X 157) and Sammy shows Cain where he thought he saw Black Tom - it's now dinner time: they're serving lasagna in the cafeteria. Green grass and trees at Westchester. Full moon. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #3 The day after AAF2 2 (4-22). Anya arrives at WebCorps and Miguel introduces her to his boss, Mr. Sanderson, who pulls Miguel aside to dispute young Anya's status as "the One." After grilling Sanderson, Anya suspects something fishy about WebCorps. On the way out, WebCorps computer guy Ted gives Anya a cell phone, saying they'll call her when they need her. That night, Anya meets her friend Lynn at a nightclub, where Anya flirts with gymnastics captain Paul Townsend. A WebCorps helicopter picks her up to take her on a rescue mission for Miguel, who is in danger at a Wasps' Nest. Miguel tries to escape a gang of thugs by climbing the copter ladder, but the Wasps fly up after him. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #4 (1-8) The same night as AAF2 3. Anya, Miguel, Ted, and Nina try and fly away in the helicopter but it gets shot down by the Wasps. The Wasps nearly kill Anya, but Miguel saves her and casts a sleep spell on her, putting her to sleep. Thursday, August 28 AMAZING FANTASY v2 #4 (9-22) The day after AAF2 4 (1-8). Anya wakes up in bed and goes to school. After school, she attends field hockey practice and her powers start to manifest. A teammate suggests they practice "later this week." Anya gets a call from Miguel to come to WebCorps, where she learns that she's the new hunter who is to work with Miguel to fight the Wasps. WebCorps board members agree to put Anya through "the Trials." Miguel tells Anya she needs to prepare to go on a training trip over the weekend. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #5 (1) Probably the same day as AAF2 4 (7-22). Anya gets her dad's permission to attend an "internship training" for the weekend. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #1 One day. This story must occur after NX 34-FB. The Institute appears fully constructed. Cyclops and Emma (in their new costumes, so it's likely after ASTONX3 6) introduce themselves to a group of "new students," which include Jay (who wears an X shirt), and they give the kids a tour (this would be Jay's second tour, following X 157; although Scott was the one who arranged for Jay's first tour, apparently the overly organized, "anal retentive" Cyclops figured another tour was necessary - he even slated Noriko Ashida for this tour, even though she's been around for months!) - the tour includes the Danger Room (don't they all?). Luna: "Don't you have orientation for the new semester?" Noriko: "I don't know why I even need to be there! I've been at the school for weeks now...and I watched it being rebuilt." Cyclops: "There will be a school-wide assembly on Monday." Sofia has been in the States for "what? Only a year?" - since NM2 1 (5-7). David Alleyne and Noriko Ashida are "17," Sofia Mantega and Josh Foley are "16," and Laurie Collins is "15," making this story occur between one and three years after NM2 11-FB (8), in which Laurie is 13. The kids sneak into the Danger Room and run into trouble. Green grass and trees at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #2 (1-9) The same day as NX 1. Surge and Dust get off on the wrong foot as roommates. Cyclops (in his Reload costume) confronts Surge about the Danger Room escapade and tells her she must have her gauntlets looked at "tomorrow." Afraid that the students are being trained to be X-Men, David intends to leave Xavier's. FOUR #4 - FB (6:3-6:6) One day. The FF pays their debt to the City of New York. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #6/2 (9-11) One night, probably after ASMU2 6 (9-11). After spending the day in Brooklyn breaking up a bank heist and rescuing folks from a fire, Spidey busts a caper by the Mercenary and his henchmen. Spidey webs up Augie. Friday, August 29 NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #2 (10-17) The morning after NX 2 (1-9). Jay Guthrie meets Dani's and Emma's students. Dani reassures her students about new school policies to be announced at "Monday's assembly." Julian: "Hey, you the new guy? Josh Guthrie?" Jay: "It's Jay. I'm not Josh anymore. My old life is over." Jay thinks of Icarus as his code name and meets the soon-to-be New Mutants and Hellions. Iceman introduces himself to the soon-to-be New Mutants and Hellions. Dani gives her students training costumes. Green grass and trees at Westchester. FOUR #4 The day after FOUR 4-FB (6). It is a school day. "Valeria started teething today," and she drinks from a bottle and sleeps in a crib; she should be at least several months old by now (my calculations put her at over a year old). Johnny is getting in shape to become a fireman. Hammerhead tries to enlist Reed's help in going after Giocometti. On his way to his temp job, Reed saves the life of a would-be suicide jumper. The references to Reed's grandfather serving in World War II must be topical, a nod to a 2004 reference point that doesn't necessarily exist in the MU; from the original reference point of FF 1 occurring in 1961, it could be Reed's older brother who served in WWII, but that would change Reed's recollections drastically. Autumn leaves on the trees in Manhattan. GRAVITY #2 (1-10:3) One day. Greg and Lauren's breakfast is interrupted by Rhino robbing an armored car. After a rough start, Gravity throws Rhino out of sight. The Black Knight rides his atomic steed in the background. That evening, Greg watches the news, hoping for a story on Gravity. He's disappointed but does catch a story about Spider-Man and "what appears to be a talking duck" (presumably Howard). DAREDEVIL v2 #61 (1-2) One day. Milla seeks the annulment of her marriage to Matt. AVENGERS #503 - FB (1-3) One day. Hawkeye is shown here without his arm in a sling, and he is working on his archery, perhaps to limber up the bow arm that was injured in HAWK3 8 (8-19), so this flashback probably occurs after HAWK3 8 (20-22), in which the arm was still in a sling. Jan tells Wanda that she had a pregnancy scare (with Clint as the presumed father) because her period came late, so this flashback should occur anywhere from a week or so to about three weeks after the tryst in A3 83. Jan inadvertently mentions Wanda's children. We see warm, bathing weather and green grass and trees in Manhattan. AVENGERS #503 - FB (6) Probably the same night as A 503-FB (1-3). This flashback occurs a "long time" before A 503 and must occur before CA&F 1- FB (11-12). Wanda visits Agatha Harkness to inquire about her children (and ends up slaying the old woman). Saturday, August 30 GRAVITY #2 (10:4-16) The day after GRAV 2 (1-10). From 3:00 to 5:00 AM Greg waits for the day's paper at a newsstand. He's rewarded by a small story which reveals Rhino was later apprehended by SHIELD. The Greenwich Guardian appears on a rooftop and Gravity investigates. They talk and agree to meet at midnight. The Guardian bounds off into what appears to be the beginnings of sunrise. Greg returns to his dorm room, briefly talks to Frog, and then has class with Lauren. Full moon. IRON FIST v4 #6 (2-22) One day, "eight days" after IF 6 (1). In Central Park, Iron Fist defeats some Shadow Thieves. Afterwards, he compares notes with Scarfe again. Eventually the Whispers on the Wind appear and teleport him to the Himalayas to confront Chi. Outside Chi's mountain headquarters, Iron Fist is attacked by Karen, who he defeats. He fights past the Shadow Thieves, defeats Chi and rescues Mary. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #5 (2-20) A day during the weekend after AAF2 5 (1). A WebCorps helicopter takes Anya to a desert in the Yucatan, where she is supposed to survive on her own. Anya is attacked by a pack of wolves, her powers emerge, and she defeats the wolves. Miguel and the helicopter return and pick her up. Anya is now the Brotherhood's new hunter and she chooses the name "Araña" as a codename. UNCANNY X-MEN #444 (12-23) One day. Sage uses her cyber glasses to call up a camera shot of the Danger Room, where we see Rogue (in a generic X-training costume) escorting students for a session that was booked for them, but Storm, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine (all in standard X- training costumes) are running through a session themselves; if students are signed up for the Danger Room, the implication is that the school year has begun. (There is no evidence that this scene has to occur at the same time as the previous scenes in Sage's cyber glasses. The two different scenes with the Beast - poolside and in the med lab - suggest that Sage may be checking in at different times.) Nightcrawler to Storm and Logan: "Perhaps we should work together more often, ja?" Logan: "Tell me more about this XSE, Ororo." Storm: "Someone has to keep the peace, Logan. The first generation of mutants needs to take responsibility for their heirs." Sage: "Forgive the interruption, my friends. You have missions." (Sage's statement implies that Logan and Kurt are officially part of the XSE team. This means that: they've already been assigned to work with Sage; that Kurt's statement was probably a tongue-in-cheek remark made after he knew they were to work together - if so it's a change of heart from his objection in X 157; and that Logan's inquiry about the XSE - after months of XSE members hanging with the X- Men - was prompted by the fact that he was now part of the team, as of X 157. The whole Danger Room session may have been prompted by the fact that Ororo, Kurt, and Logan all were put on the same team and they felt it necessary to conduct one of those drills Alex mentioned in X 157.) Since the African mission was in reaction to an attack that happened "today," then UX 444 (15- 23) should occur the same day as UX 444 (12-14). Storm, Bishop, Marvel Girl, and Cannonball (all in XSE costumes) rout an attack by the Weaponeers, high-tech raiders working for Achmed Al-Khalad; the Weaponeers appear next in XCAL3 11 (9-22). Meanwhile, Sage calls Brian Braddock to arrange a visit to Braddock Manor. Meanwhile, Wolverine and Nightcrawler (both in their new Reload costumes) arrive in Washington State to deal with an alpha-level mutant who has taken hostages. Logan: "The local law won't accept our XSE badges." Nightcrawler: "We represent the XSE." (Both statements confirm that Kurt and Logan are on the XSE team.) Green grass and trees in Britain and Washington State UNCANNY X-MEN #445 (1-10) The same day as UX 444 (12-23). Logan's and Kurt's Washington mission results in the death of Tommy Reichert, the threatening mutant boy, and the arrest of Logan and Kurt. Arriving on the scene are Storm and Carol Danvers, who introduces herself to local law enforcement as "Warbird of the Avengers. Chief of Tactical Operations, Department of Homeland Security" and gets them to stand down. Sage uses her cyber glasses to see Logan (still in tattered costume) interrogated by FBI in Seattle, the press reporting that the X-Men will not be charged, a press conference by Vange, and reactions to the event seen on TV and the web Green grass and trees in Washington State. DAREDEVIL v2 #61 (3-5) One day. Because Hawkeye is shown with his armored sleeve, this segment must occur after XS 25, A/TB 6 (17-20), and A3 76. Falcon's presence with the Avengers suggests that this segment occurs before CA&F 1-FB-FB (5:2). The Avengers (Cap, Falcon, Iron Man, Wanda, and Hawkeye) stop Viper's terrorist scheme in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian army assume custody of Viper from the team. DAREDEVIL v2 #69 (14) One day, "a few days" before DD2 65. It is "14 days" before DD2 68. Inside the prison courtyard, Bont gets some MGH in a drug deal. Bont says he's "out of here in a few days." FOUR #5 One day. Reed, Sue, and Ben take Franklin and his friends camping (so it's probably a weekend) and encounter some extraterrestrials. After having taken written tests, Johnny seeks a job as an apprentice firefighter. We see autumn leaves on trees and someone mentions that it's "late in the season to be camping" in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and suggests that it's almost time for snow. FOUR #6 The same night as FOUR 5. Sue tries to protect the boys while Reed impersonates an extraterrestrial to investigate the strange visitors to the Pine Barrens. We see green grass and leafy trees, but it's also just before what is expected to be "the first snowfall of the season" in New Jersey. FOUR #7 The same night as FOUR 6. It is a "few weeks" before FOUR 8. Sue saves Reed and some of the kids from captivity before the aliens in the Pine Barrens leave earth. Johnny tells girlfriend Kourtney that he got his paid internship with the fire department. We see "the first snow of the season" in New York and New Jersey, but no accumulation is seen. SPIDER-MAN UNLIMITED v2 #7/2 One night. Spidey leaves a perp hanging in a web net. Waning crescent moon. Sunday, August 31 UNCANNY X-MEN #445 (11-22) The early morning after UX 445 (1-10). "Later...after the end of a hard day," Nightcrawler is lamenting Reichert's death and Storm arrives to comfort him and they dance in the sky above the Institute. "Pretty much simultaneously" (confirmed by Sage's monitor screens), Bishop, Marvel Girl, and Cannonball arrive via car at Braddock Manor, where it's daytime - it must be before sunrise at Westchester and after sunrise in England. Bishop: "Hey, Sam, apropos of nothing special - when do you Guthries get to form your own team of X-Men?" Rachel: "Yeah! How many of you are active mutants?" Sam: "Well, I got a brother with wings, can you believe it?" Rachel: "Not to mention your two sisters. How's your mom feel about that?" Sam: "She enrolled Jay at the Institute, and of course he totally hates it, which means he hates me." (That places this segment before X/U 3/2.) Rachel: "He'll get over it." Sam: "Oh man, you do not want to know how mama reacted when she saw us on TV. When she called, I felt like a kid again. On my way out to the woodshed." (Mrs. Guthrie may have seen a TV rebroadcast after departing the Institute in X 157, since she had to call to ream Sam out.) Bishop, Rachel, and Sam battle the cybernetic creature, the Fury, under Braddock Manor. Believing himself to be in mortal danger, Sam thinks, "Paige - you'll be the oldest now. Look after Jay an' Melody, sis. Make me proud!" (This implies that Melody is a student at Xavier's instead of at home with mom and the other siblings, Jedediah, Lewis, Joelle, et al, plus Ray Jr.) Green grass and trees in Britain. Full moon. UNCANNY X-MEN #446 The same day as UX 445 (11-22). The Fury uses Sam's cyber glasses to remotely possess Sage and send her on a rampage through the Institute. Storm, Nightcrawler, and Wolverine free Sage of the Fury's influence and set off at once to Braddock Manor to help their teammates defeat the Fury. Among the occupants of the Institute downed by the release of interdiction gas in the melee - Scott and Emma (who must be having a very late elegant dinner); Dani, Beast and Gambit (without bandage), presumably in the med lab (we can surmise that Beast is checking on Remy's eyesight this time); Rogue and the students from that same Danger Room class from UX 444, all in standard X-training costumes and presumably in the Danger Room (in what must be a new session). Sam's leg is "broken." Green grass and trees in Britain. UNCANNY X-MEN #447 The same day as UX 446. The XSE team defeat the Fury and Braddock Manor is destroyed in the battle. In the aftermath, Storm says: "What matters now is getting Sam to a hospital (presumably local). Then, we'll worry about Brian and the rest." (Apparently, Sam quits the X-Men after recovering from the injury and appears next in XFOR2 2.) Logan: "You did good today, Red." Kurt: "We all did. We may have some rough edges but we came together as a team." (The implication is that this was the new XSE team's first mission together.) Green grass and trees in Britain UNCANNY X-MEN #448 The same day as UX 447. The XSE team (without the injured Cannonball) return to Braddock Manor to find it in fine shape - Brian says, "I'm sorry I wasn't here when the attack happened. As ruler of Otherworld, my responsibilities keep me so busy I don't get back here often. The manor can usually take care of itself." Right after visiting the manor, Logan tells Rachel, "It's what I was tryin' t' tell ya. We've been invited t' Buckingham Palace, for dinner with the Queen." (So this visit doesn't necessarily have to occur right after UX 447.) That night, the XSE team prepares for their dinner and Rachel talks to Kitty (BTS) on the phone. The XSE team is kidnaped by Viper, who infests them with power-stripping nannites and traps them in a twisted version of Murderworld and apparently shoots Sage. Green grass and trees in Britain. UNCANNY X-MEN #449 The same night as UX 448. After Viper leaves, "Sage" is revealed to be Logan in disguise, whose healing factor makes him recover from the bullet wound. Kurt and Ororo crash a Purity meeting. Viper forces the X-Men into a choice - allow one of the queen's housemaids to be blown up or force the detonation of a baby nuke. The heroes manage to save the day. Storm and Rachel are injured and are taken away in an ambulance. Viper and Courtney Ross join Sebastian Shaw as the new Hellfire Club. Green trees in London. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #5 (21-22) The day after AAF2 5 (2-20). Anya returns home on a "Sunday." Her dad , upset that she didn't call him at all, grounds her, but Anya asks to keep her internship at WebCorps. He demands to speak to her "supervisor" Miguel. Light clothing, green trees and a few blowing leaves in New York. GRAVITY #2 (17-18) The day after GRAV 2 (10-16). Gravity meets the Greenwich Guardian and they patrol together. DAREDEVIL v2 #61 (6-11) One day, not long after DD2 61 (3-5). It is "two days" before DD2 62 (1-2). Bulgarian authorities agree to hand Viper over to the U.S. if the U.S. hands over the Black Widow. Fury is ordered to recall Natasha from a field assignment in London, but he tells her to disappear for a while. Waning crescent moon. Monday, September 1: Labor Day SPELLBINDERS #1 (1-9) One day. At "5 minutes after midnight," Knox and Foley attempt a summoning spell to call the "fulcrum." The spell backfires and Knox is transmuted into a swarm of lizards. Kim, napping in the moving truck, dreams Knox's death. That morning, Paul, Renata and Mason discuss Knox's death, while Kim moves into her new house in Salem. Chad drops by Kim's house to introduce himself, and warns her to keep her head down and not hang out with the "wicks." Green trees in Massachusetts. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #6 Perhaps the day after AAF2 5 (21-22). This story occurs before AHOS 1 (1-6). Miguel convinces Anya's father to let her keep her "internship" at WebCorps. Anya shops for a "costume" at the mall, then she and Miguel rush off to disrupt the initiation ceremony of the Wasps' own "Chosen One." They find the Wasps' mage Vincent performing a spell over a cocoon. Anya kicks many of the Wasps' butts and Miguel casts a spell destroying the railcar, but they can't find Vincent or the cocoon amidst the debris. Anya goes home and practices her new abilities, happy with her new role as a super-hero. A lot seems to happen on this day with no reference to school; perhaps it is Labor Day. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #2 (18-23) The "Monday morning" after NX 2 (10-17). At an outdoor orientation meeting for the students - clearly different from the assembly in ASTONX3 1 - this assembly is specifically aimed at the formation of squads for combat training "in light of recent dangers faced by the school." (This orientation may occur after classes have started; after all, the educational mission of the Institute is more important than the combat training.) Cyclops, Emma, and Dani introduce their student training squads, the Corsairs, the Hellions, and the New Mutants. (The other senior staff - Beast, Kitty, and Logan - are not here.) Cyclops: "I'm happy to have you all back to the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning for a new semester. We've had some setbacks. But we're still here. As you all know by now, Miss Frost and I will be running the school as headmasters. Professor Xavier is away, pursuing other aspects of his dream." Cyclops: "Those squads that have already been chosen will be introduced today. But all of you will be in a squad before the month is over." The students now have costumes and code names. Green grass and trees at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #3 (1-19) The same day as NX 2 (18-23). The New Mutants and Hellions argue and Cyclops decides to have them compete in field day exercises. "Nineteen"-year-old Rahne tells "sixteen"-year-old Josh she's too old for him; age really should be an issue, as Rahne must be older than 19 by now. Emma and Dani find and recruit Kevin Ford for the school; Kevin is "a fifteen-year-old who was a student here last summer for a couple of weeks" (in NM2 3-6). Gambit cameos here without a bandage around his eyes, but it is not known for sure that he is sighted. (Given all the other clues, I think this is going to have to happen while Remy is blind; maybe he's taking a short break from the bandages or we can chalk this up to an art error.) Green grass and trees at Westchester. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #1 (16-23) One day. This segment must occur after PPTSS 19. It is a "few months" before M/KSM 12 (1-18). It is probably more than "four weeks and five days" before M/KSM 7 (4-21). It is a school day; Peter has a new class to teach, so it may be the start of a new school year. CNN is showing a live battle involving Captain America and perhaps the Avengers, but it's hard to tell what's going on. After Peter discovers that someone has vandalized Uncle Ben's tombstone, the culprit phones Peter and tells him he knows Peter's secret identity and makes a veiled threat to harm Aunt May. Peter rushes to May's new apartment, only to discover it trashed and May gone. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #2 The same stormy night as M/KSM 1 (16-23). Stark is shown as Secretary of Defense here, so this story must occur between IM3 83 (21) and A 500. Hawkeye has his armored sleeve, so it's sometime after XS 25, A/TB 6 (17-20), and A3 76, and Quicksilver is with the group; we also see Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Iron Man, Cap, and Ant-Man II; Falcon is not present, and neither is She- Hulk (perhaps because she's off-world). Electro may appear here after S-H3 6. After ushering M.J. out of the city, Spidey tries to track down Aunt May, who is in her "early seventies." He tries to recruit Black Cat, who's busy in Florida, then he tries to shake down Osborn at Ryker's in a scene that I've placed after the revelation of Gwen's and Osborn's kids, although no mention is made of that here. Desperate to locate Nick Fury, Spidey drops in on Avengers Embassy, where no security restraining system exists as seen in S-H3 3 (5-10). After alienating the Assemblers, Spidey drops in on the Owl, who is working his way up in organized crime in the wake of Kingpin's defeat in DD2 50. He tells Spidey that Vulture and Electro kidnaped May and Spidey tracks them to a nightclub. Spidey's visit to Avengers Embassy may be the story reported in the Bugle in DD2 61 (22). MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #3 (1-18) The same night as M/KSM 2. It is a "year" after M/KSM 3-FB (15:1). The Vulture probably appears here after ID 5. Spidey battles Electro, who brags about his new costume and tells him that the Owl set him up because the villains absconded with Owl's money, which they still have here, so it must be within a couple of days after M/KSM 3-FB (15:2). Spidey is seriously injured and taken to the hospital, where doctors remove his mask. Peter is identified by an EMT as "male. twenties," but the age could be an error attributable to Peter's youthful physique. Green trees in New York. DAREDEVIL v2 #65 One day. It must be much less than "12 months" after DD2 65-FB (27-32). It is "10 months" (probably inclusive) after DD2 65- FB (20-25) and is probably less than "13 months" after DD2 65-FB (12-16). It must be more than "14 months" after DD2 65-FB (1-6). Agent Del Toro is standing around the FBI headquarters going over the Murdock file. Her boss hands her a memo (dated a topical "5/7/2005") stating that Alexander Bont, the Kingpin's predecessor, is being released from prison. The boss notes that Matt Murdock was his lawyer. DAREDEVIL v2 #61 (12-21) It must be the day after DD2 61 (6-11). It is "a year" after DD2 36 (1-4) and "39 hours" before DD2 64 (13-15). A scene from this segment is repeated in DD2 66-FB (18), in which Alexander Bont is present, thus showing that this segment occurs after DD2 65-FB (27-32). On what is presumably a slow news day, Matt chews Ben Urich out for a Pulse piece by Kat Farrell about Daredevil. Matt finds Natasha (who has been doing SHIELD assignments "for over a year") in his apartment seeking a place to stay, then they both go off to bust up an arms shipment by Jigsaw. DAREDEVIL v2 #61 - FB The same night as DD2 61. In this newspaper photo, Daredevil and Black Widow swing into action. DAREDEVIL v2 #62 - FB The same night as DD2 61-FB. DD and Black Widow beat up Jigsaw down at the Pier before heading back home to Matt's place, There, Natasha hits on Matt, but he declines to respond to her seduction. Tuesday, September 2 NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #3 (20-23) The morning after NX 3 (1-19). The Hellions and the New Mutants compete in their field day exercise. Green grass and trees at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #4 The same day as NX 3 (20-23). The Hellions defeat the New Mutants at field day and Josh blames Sofia's lack of leadership. Later that day, we see a love polygon develop involving Cessily, Kevin, Laurie, Josh, and Rahne. At dinner, Agent Pierce of the FBI shows up to arrest Kevin for the murder of his father. Green grass and trees at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #5 (1-14) The same day as NX 4. Pierce tries to get Kevin to surrender himself for questioning. The New Mutants attempt to sneak Kevin out of the Institute, but they are caught. Green grass and trees at Westchester. DAREDEVIL v2 #61 (22) The morning after DD2 61-FB. The Daily Bugle reports on Daredevil and the Black Widow and also reports "trouble at Avengers Mansion?", which may be a reference to M/KSM 2; this same newspaper edition appears as an old newspaper in PULSE 7, so this segment must occur sometime before PULSE 7. When the arms shipment bust hits the press, a furious Pentagon director demands to talk to Nick Fury. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #3 (19-22) The day after M/KSM 3 (1-18). After spending "all night" in a distant motel (where we see green grass and trees), M.J. sees a TV report on Spidey's battle with Electro. The hospital has not instituted a media blackout and so Vulture, in a new costume, bursts into Peter's hospital room. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #4 The same day as M/KSM 3 (19-22). It is "two and a half days" before M/KSM 5. The Vulture abducts Peter and drops him from the sky, and Peter is unable to save himself without his web shooters - this is either an indication that M/KSM 1-12 must occur before PPTSS2 15-20 (in which he gains the ability to shoot webs organically) or an indication that Peter wasn't thinking straight; it may actually be the latter. Peter is saved by Black Cat, who is working for the Owl, who notes that he's rebuilding his career "from that Daredevil fiasco" in DD2 45. Felicia delivers Vulture to Owl, who tortures him and Electro. Peter is returned to the hospital and an orderly submits photos of the unmasked Spidey to the Bugle. SPELLBINDERS #1 (10-23) The day after SPELLBINDERS 1 (1-9). At her "first day at John Hathorne High School" (apparently, school has already started for the other kids), Kim is attacked by an air elemental and is saved by Mink and Liza Beth. Liza Beth covers the attack to the principal by claiming it was a fight, but all the students appear to be aware of the elemental and take such things in stride. At lunch, Kim ticks off Mason by claiming not to know anything about magic, and she gets invited to a no-wicks-allowed party on Saturday by Kris. That afternoon, Knox's ghost appears and orders Kim to make the others into "a seven," but she is immediately attacked magically again and apparently killed. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. SPELLBINDERS #2 (1-5) The same day as SPELLBINDERS 1 (10-23). Kim finds herself in ghost form, surrounded by other ghosts, many of which seem to revere her. Sally's ghost points out that her body isn't dead and suggests that she's just spirit-walking. Kim commands the ghosts away, just as Sally warns her to avoid the Pillar of Smoke. Kim returns to her body where her parents are fretting over her, and claims she just fell and hit her head. DAREDEVIL v2 #62 (1-2) The same day as DD2 61 (22). It is "two days" after DD2 61 (6-11). Director Wallace of the CIA is ticked off at Fury, who has apparently allowed the Black Widow to remain free. "It's an election year," and the implication is that it's campaign season before a presidential election. DAREDEVIL v2 #62 (11-20:6) The same day as DD2 62 (1-2). At their law office, Foggy holds up the newspaper showing the Widow/DD story and asks Matt if he slept with Natasha, but Matt says no and that he still loves Milla. Foggy notes that Milla wants an annulment and Matt says he doesn't care. Jigsaw bursts into Matt's office and asks what he did wrong to bring Daredevil down upon his weapons smuggling operation. Jigsaw offers to give Matt a cut of the money, but Matt rejects Jigsaw. Later, Matt has lunch with Natasha and explains he's legally married and still in love with Milla. Matt asks Natasha why she's really here. Green trees in New York, where it's warm enough to eat al fresco. DAREDEVIL v2 #63 (1-2:2) The same day as DD2 62 (11-20). From two blocks away, a sniper gets Matt and Natasha in his sights. DAREDEVIL v2 #62 (20:7-22) The same day as DD2 63 (1-2). Natasha starts to explain she thinks someone's put a price on her head, but just then, the sniper opens fire on the café where they're having lunch. Green trees in New York, where it's warm enough to eat al fresco. DAREDEVIL v2 #63 (2:3-23) The same day as DD2 62 (20-22). Matt and Natasha duck the gunfire. Daredevil jumps to the rooftop and pummels the assassin, a CIA operative named Quinn. Quinn disables Daredevil with an ultra-sonic device and shoots Natasha through the shoulder. Quinn escapes, Natasha destroys the device, and she and DD help the people wounded in the assassination attempt. That evening, back at Matt's house, Matt dresses Natasha's wound and Natasha discusses her reason for being at Matt's. Jigsaw and a group of thugs break into Matt's house, determined to make Murdock pay. DAREDEVIL v2 #64 (1-12) The same night as DD2 63 (2-23). Nick Fury looks at the online addition of the Daily Bugle, the headline of which reads: "Murdock Mowdown: Gunfire rings out for lunchtime lawyer and his mystery gal pal." He concludes that the Widow is hiding in plain sight with Murdock. Natasha kicks Jigsaw's butt and the police take him away. Later that night, Natasha and Matt prepare to leave Matt's house, but Natasha gets a message on her wristwatch from Fury, telling the two of them to sit tight, and be bait to draw Quinn out. The web site notes that date is "7/26/04" (which may be topical) and the temperature in New York today was"85 degrees." The site also infers that it's a presidential election season. Full moon. Wednesday, September 3 DAREDEVIL v2 #64 (13-15) The morning after DD2 64 (1-12), "39 hours" after DD2 61 (6-11). As Matt and Natasha step out the front door, Quinn taking aim from a nearby rooftop, but Fury and SHIELD shoot him with a tranquilizer dart and take him into custody. The danger now over with, Natasha kisses Matt goodbye and they go their separate ways. Blowing leaves in New York. SPELLBINDERS #2 (6-18) The morning after SPELLBINDERS 2 (1-5). Over breakfast, Paul's coven discusses the idea of merging with Foley's. Mason is very against the idea. Kim is late for school again, having apparently been at the hospital for a checkup. During science class, Kim presses Foley for an explanation, and learns about the magical bloodlines in the town. Foley's explanation is interrupted by the science lab bursting into flame. Everyone gets out safely except Kim, who has to rescue herself by putting out the fire with a mixture of ammonium salts and baking soda. Chad asks Kim to Kris' party as a date. Kim reveals that she's adopted and places the party on her (strangely arranged) calendar for Saturday, the first of a month with 30 days. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #5 (15-23) The "morning" after NX 5 (1-14). The school gives Kevin up to the FBI, but the Hellions vow to bring him back and recruit Sofia to help them. It is a class day at Xavier's, where we see green trees. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #6 (1-18) The same day as NX 5 (15-23). It is "two weeks" before NX 6 (19-22). Jay alerts the New Mutants and they go stop the Hellions from fighting the FBI. Alerted by Rahne, Scott and Emma arrive on the scene and send all the students back to the Institute. Kevin goes off with the FBI. Green grass and trees at Westchester. IDENTITY DISC #5 - FB (14:3-14:5) One day. SHIELD agent Valerie Jessup gets a copy of a disc from AIM that proves she tampered with SHIELD files to disassociate herself with the Vulture. IDENTITY DISC #5 - FB (3:3-3:4) One night. Bullseye is shot at by members of two rival syndicates with whom he has signed exclusive contracts. Deadpool looks at a photo of his ex-wife. IDENTITY DISC #5 - FB (3:6) Perhaps the same night as ID 5-FB (3:3-3:4). Sandman spends an evening at home with his mother. Thursday, September 4 DAREDEVIL v2 #64 (16-22) The day after DD2 64 (13-15). This segment occurs "months" before DD2 77 (7-22). Fury calls up CIA Director Wallace and tells him that he knows Wallace hired Quinn and that he's not to do anything unlawful like this again or he'll send a file on Wallace to J. Jonah Jameson. Madame Hydra is set free from her Bulgarian prison and Natasha confronts the Bulgarian diplomat who asked for her in exchange for Madame Hydra. It turns out to be Natasha's former husband, Alexi. SHIELD and an Avengers quinjet arrive on the scene to take Alexi into custody. Meanwhile, Matt hands Milla the signed annulment paper after making one last failed attempt to ask for her back. We see falling leaves in a rainy New York. Full moon. SHE-HULK v3 #9 - FB (1-2) One "chilly autumn morn," "two weeks" before S-H3 9 (3-16). Hercules stops an armored car robbery by Armadillo, Jack O'Lantern, and Constrictor, the latter of whom Herc injures severely. YOUNG AVENGERS SPECIAL #1 - FB (10:1-10:3) One day, perhaps near the beginning of a school year. Teddy Altman meets Greg Norris in the school locker room. Friday, September 5 SHE-HULK v3 #9 - FB (17:2-18:1) The day after S-H3 9-FB (1-2). In a bar, Hercules sings a song about his defeat of the Constrictor. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #5 One day, whose morning (before "lunch") occurs "two and a half days" after M/KSM 4. It must be more than just "a few weeks" before M/KSM 9 as it is "two entire months" before M/KSM 12 (1-18). M.J. mentions the "big part" she got in ASM 509. Eddie Brock arrives in New York. Peter awakens in his apartment (having missed "a few days" of school), where M.J. and Felicia have been caring for him. They show him the Bugle article featuring his unmasked photo. Because his face was beaten up, he is not recognized, so Jameson has offered a reward (donated by a mystery person) for identifying him; this reward must be different from and probably occurs after that noted in ASM 514, judging by the "What? Again?" remark. M.J. notes that Matt Murdock, Nick Fury, and Dr. Strange have been working on locating Aunt May. M.J. confesses to Peter that they are in financial trouble. That evening, Spidey defeats Doc Ock, who has escaped from a convoy escorting him from prison. The cops then attack Spidey to collect on the reward money. Green grass and trees in New York, and it is warm enough for M.J. to be outdoors in a short-sleeved shirt. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #6 (1-3) The same evening as M/KSM 5. Spidey escapes from the horde of cops. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #6 - FB (12:1) One night, "a little while" after M/KSM 6-FB (11). The guard rushes his wife to the hospital. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #12/2 One night. Logan is in Canada to see "if any of the old gang's about," an indication that this story probably occurs before AF3 2-FB-FB (20:2). He runs into a drunk, self-pitying Puck in a bar. Logan gives Eugene advice before Puck is arrested for having beat up a bunch of bar patrons and having caused property damage. The Christmas lights in the bar may be a year-round decoration as the trees outside are leafy. Saturday, September 6 MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #6 (4-22) The day after M/KSM 6 (1-3). It may be more than just "three weeks," before M/KSM 7 (4-21) and the "month" before M/KSM 9. It is the "week" after the woman Osborn treated first got sick from the treatment. This segment must occur after XX 46 (12- 23) and probably after FF 516, given that Hydro-Man appears here in his new costume. Given that the Xavier Institute appears rebuilt with students hanging around, this segment should occur either after X 157 or very shortly before. According to Sandman, "Tigra's been living in L.A. for the last six months" and "she teamed up with Wonder Man against Boomerang just a few weeks ago." On a day that "isn't April first," Peter learns about an auction uptown "tonight" involving Eddie Brock. In his search for Aunt May, Spidey turns to the imprisoned Osborn and then goes to the Xavier Institute, where Rachel Summers tells him she thinks May is dead. Emma and Scott are in San Antonio dealing with a kid with thermonuclear powers. That night, a bunch of villains shows up at the auction, where Eddie Brock offers to sell Venom for charity money. Peter notes that "Aunt May is seventy-two years old." Green grass and trees in Westchester. SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN v2 #38 - FB (3:3) The same night as M/KSM 6 (4-22).

It must be more than "twenty years" after ID 1-FB (1-2) and more than "sixteen years" after ID 1-FB (13). Sandman may appear here after S-H3 6. Juggernaut is here in his gray costume and Sabretooth in classic orange and brown costume with fur (his first costume). Valerie Jessup, claiming to be an agent of Tristram Silver named Valeria Merrick, recruits Vulture, Sandman, Juggernaut, and Sabretooth for a job. GRAVITY #2 (19:1) One day. Gravity and the Greenwich Guardian take out a gang dressed in skeleton costumes. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #3/2 (1-2:1) One evening, between "8:30 PM" and "9:07," "Jay" Guthrie broods about his dead girlfriend at Xavier's and calls his mother. Students abound at the Institute and there's a reference to "flying class," so classes must have started. Green grass and trees at Westchester. SPELLBINDERS #2 (19-22) A Saturday, at least two days after, but less than a week after, SPELLBINDERS 2 (6-18). Kim arrives at Chad's house and meets his crazy mother, also learning that Sally is dead and has a connection to Chad. They leave for the party, watched by Foley and Liza Beth, who are weaving a protection over Kim in case she's attacked at the party with no wicks around to protect her. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. SPELLBINDERS #3 The same evening as SPELLBINDERS #2 (19-22). Kim has known Chad for "like 6 days." The guys are watching a pro- football game, Patriots v Giants (the NFL apparently plays on Saturdays in the MU). Out at a park, Paul points out to Renata that even if Kim is warded, she could still be attacked by mundane means. Renata immediately rushes off towards the party, where the power has gone out, and one kid attacked with magical lightning. In the panic, a cloaked figure attacks Kim with a knife. Mason calls in Foley's coven as backup to make sure that Renata doesn't get hurt. At the house, Sally's ghost appears to Kim again, and shows her how to spirit walk deliberately. Kim scouts a path and knocks down the cloaked figure, which becomes a werewolf and continues chasing her. Faced with all seven witches though, the werewolf changes again and escapes. The witches decide that Kim should go to the Pillar of Smoke and unlock her power, but she declines because of Sally's advice. When she gets home, though, all her stuff has been trashed, and she changes her mind, wanting whatever power is coming to her. Finally, the villain is revealed to be Chad. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. Full moon. Sunday, September 7 X-MEN UNLIMITED #3/2 (2:2-12) The early morning ("a nice night") after XU2 3/2 (1-2). At "3:07" AM, Cannonball checks in on brother Jay, in response to Paige's concerns about Jay - this appears to be the first time they've really talked since Jay's arrival. They fly to Manhattan, rescue people from a burning building, and have a talk in which Sam encourages Jay. (This may not be on a school night, since it's unlikely Sam would wake up his brother in the middle of the night to go to New York if it were.) Jay: "I don't want to be a mutant anymore." (No mention of Dr. Rao's serum here, so maybe it hasn't been announced yet.) Jay mentions that Sam called his family once "two months ago." Cannonball's leg is fine; if this indeed occurs after UX 449, then his broken leg was probably healed by Archangel or Elixir by now. Jay has not heard of the Hellfire Club before now. Green grass and trees in New York. SPELLBINDERS #4 The day after SPELLBINDERS 3. Kim and both covens hike through the woods to the Pillar of Smoke. Chad follows, easily bypassing all the wards they set behind them. Chad kills the Pillar's guardian and attacks them just as they realize that their opponent has been using their own magic powers against them. Foley and Kim escape, arriving at the Pillar just at sundown, but when Kim touches it, she doesn't gain any power. Chad absorbs power directly from the Pillar, then shatters it and consumes a large piece. He travels away, arriving back in town sometime after dark. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. Full or gibbous moon. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #1 - FB (9:4) One day. Cap watches Hawkeye (shown in his armored sleeve) practice his archery. Monday, September 8 IDENTITY DISC #1 (9-22) One early morning, starting at "midnight" of the night after the day of ID 1 (3-8). Deadpool and Bullseye join the others recruited Valeria, who assigns them with obtaining what she claims is the Identity Disc from AIM. Sandman refuses to cooperate and is discorporated (as planned). IDENTITY DISC #2 (1-14) The same day as ID 1 (9-22). It is a day that the offices of Koenig & Strey are open. Valeria prepares the five remaining villains for the AIM raid by assigning them to do surveillance and obtain items that will facilitate the raid. We see green trees and Brooklyn Tech College is in session. SPELLBINDERS #5 The morning after SPELLBINDERS 4. Banished by Chad to the Salem Witches' home-world, the witches are unable to get home, because the Thief has absorbed almost all the magic out of the world. Back on Earth, Chad begins mind controlling all the other witches and gathering them in the school, while Sally's ghost tells Kim that the foundation of the Pillar still stands. The original Thief on the witches' world attacks, but they combine their powers long enough to travel back to Earth. Right at dawn, the pillar reveals its foundation to Kim, and she finds the right sigil to unlock her powers, transporting herself and Foley to the land of the dead. In the school gym, Chad combines all the town's witches in order to bring Sally back to life, but is interrupted by the two covens. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. SPELLBINDERS #6 The same day as SPELLBINDERS #5 (1-22). In the land of the dead, Kim learns that she is a Necromancer, and her job is to heal breaches like the one Chad created in resurrecting Sally. Back at the gym, Chad defeats the witches quickly again, but is rejected by the resurrected Sally, and decides to kill everyone. Kim and Foley arrive, and with everyone else's help, hold Chad off long enough for Kim to banish Sally's soul. Since Chad used his own soul as an anchor, he is also dragged off into the Underworld. Everybody picks themselves up, and Kim finds one of the lizards that got made out of Knox, promising to help him next. Green grass and trees in Massachusetts. Tuesday, September 9 IDENTITY DISC #2 (15) Early morning, just after midnight following ID 2 (1-14). Deadpool returns to the group with the skeleton key he and Bullseye were assigned to retrieve. IDENTITY DISC #5 - FB (11:3) The same early morning as ID 2 (15). Vulture secretly reports back to Valeria on the whereabouts of the group. IDENTITY DISC #2 (16-22) The same early morning as ID 5-FB (11:3). The villains retire to a bar.

As the AIM headquarters burns, the Vulture is arrested by police. IDENTITY DISC #5 (1-20) The same rainy night as ID 4 (20-22). Fury interrogates Vulture, believing that Sabretooth was the mastermind behind the operation. As Vulture is led away by a SHIELD agent, it is revealed that the agent is Valeria, that Valeria is Vulture's daughter, and that the operation was to retrieve the disc that linked Valeria with Vulture. Fury and Dum Dum can't figure out the reason for the villains' AIM operation since SHIELD possesses the Identity Disc. Wednesday, September 10 IDENTITY DISC #5 (21-22) The day after ID 5 (1-20). Sandman is alive and well in St. Lucia, having been paid to fake his death at Valeria's hand. Tristram Silver meets him and notes that he may go after the Identity Disc.

In Hawkeye's message to She-Hulk, he tells her he loves her. Thursday, September 11 DAREDEVIL v2 #66 (1-3/4:1) One day. Alexander Bont steps out of a taxi onto the streets of Hell's Kitchen, which he doesn't recognize anymore. Newspaper headlines read "Mutant terrorism on the rise" and "Captain America speaks out against war." It's snowing hard in New York; temporal references throughout DD are inconsistent and this one may be topical. DAREDEVIL v2 #69 (20-21) The same day as DD2 66 (1-3/4). It is "two days" before DD2 68. Bont visits Melvin Potter at his costume store and threatens to kill his "four year old daughter" unless he puts on his Gladiator costume and gets Daredevil. Snow, likely topical, is falling in New York. DAREDEVIL v2 #66 (17) The same day as DD2 69 (20-21). Bont stands inside a video store and mutters how it use to be a restaurant. DAREDEVIL v2 #66 (19-22) The same day as DD2 66 (17). Bont visits his wife's grave then pays a visit to a strip club owner Slick Saul and accuses him of being one of the gang who took over his territory after he went to jail. Bont takes a MGH pill and gains momentary super- strength, which he uses to kill Saul. It is snowing in New York and snow has accumulated on the ground; this may be topical. DAREDEVIL v2 #67 - FB (14-15) The same day as DD2 66 (19-22). Special Agent Del Toro of the FBI stops by the strip club to investigate the murder of Saul. She examines the body and figures out from the strippers that it must've been Bont who killed Saul. Friday, September 12 DAREDEVIL v2 #68 - FB (13-19) The day after DD2 67-FB (14-15). Del Toro visits Murdock at his office and asks for help. She pulls out the amulets of her uncle, the White Tiger, and says she doesn't know what she's supposed to do with them. DAREDEVIL v2 #69 (7-10) The same day as DD2 68-FB (13-19). Del Toro pleads with Matt to share why he's a super-hero. Matt at first refuses, saying he could incriminate himself. She in turn says she plans on quitting the FBI. Matt finally tells her to meet him on the roof of St. Catherine's Church at 11:00. DAREDEVIL v2 #69 (15-19) The same night as DD2 69 (7-10).

DAREDEVIL v2 #70 - FB (2-15) The same night as DD2 69 (15-19). Daredevil tests Del Toro's skills by getting her to duel him. Interrupted by a robbery down the street, they head to the scene. Daredevil leaves Del Toro to stop the crime alone, and she does. Daredevil reappears and tells Del Toro that's why he's a super-hero. Matt gets out of costume and heads home, only to find Melvin Potter wearing his Gladiator costume and sitting on his doorstep. Melvin springs a trap on Matt and manages to knock him out. Melvin calls Bont and says he's captured Daredevil. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #1 (1-6) One night during the school year. This segment occurs after AAF2 6. While on patrol, Arana and Miguel beat up some hoodlums and get them to squeal on Thomas Bander, an apparently corrupt judge working with the Sisterhood of the Wasp. The hoodlums say that Bander is paying a secret visit to Court of Appeals at "midnight" tonight. Miguel calls up Ted and gets him to hack into the Court's security systems. Miguel also calls Nina, telling her to come for back up. Saturday, September 13 ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #1 (7-22) The day after AHOS 1 (1-6). At "midnight," Arana, Miguel, and Nina catch Bander sneaking into the Court of Appeals to steal files for the Sisterhood. They capture him and knock him unconscious, but several Wasp agents burst in. Miguel and Arana beat them up, Arana throws the unconscious judge into Nina's car, and they escape. "Later," Anya sits on a rooftop recovering from the battle. Miguel calls in and reports they have Bander in custody. He tells Anya to take the next few days off because she's coming down with a cold. Anya goes home to find her father cooking dinner (apparently early in the morning!). He tells her to get on with her homework. As they sit down for dinner, he gets a phone call from his reporter partner Dan. After hanging up the phone, Gil mentions he's working on a piece investigating corrupt Bander. Green grass, leafy trees, and short sleeves in New York. DAREDEVIL v2 #67 The morning after DD2 70-FB (2-15). Matt Murdock, his costume visible beneath his shirt, is tied up in a chair at Fogwell's Gym and is punched repeatedly by Gladiator in the presence of Alexander Bont, who decides to videotape the scene. DAREDEVIL v2 #68 The same morning as DD2 67. It is the day after DD2 68-FB (13-19), "two days" after DD2 69 (20-21), "years" after DD2 69 (3-6), and apparently "twenty years" after DD2 68-FB (13). It is "14 days" after DD2 69-FB (14) and must be more than "14 months" after DD2 69-FB (1-2). Melvin pleads with Bont to let him slay Murdock now, but Bont says he wants to torture Matt some more. Bont stops videotaping Murdock being beaten up and he and Melvin drag Matt outside to show Hell's Kitchen its "Kingpin." Bont is "93 years old." DAREDEVIL v2 #70 The same morning as DD2 68. Bont and Melvin toss the beaten up Matt Murdock out onto the street. The people of Hell's Kitchen start standing around the spectacle and see Matt's costume under his shirt. As Del Toro gives a statement to the police about the robbery, a cop runs in exclaiming that "some maniac chained up Matt Murdock and is parading him up and down the damn street." Bont tells Melvin to execute Matt, but Del Toro bursts onto the scene and kicks Gladiator's butt. Bont pops another MGH pill and throws Matt back inside the gym. As Bont beats Matt up, his heart explodes and he dies at Matt's feet. The Feds question Matt in the hospital. Foggy Nelson explains that Bont captured Matt, dressed him up in a Daredevil costume because of the media smear against Matt, and had Melvin beat Matt up. The Feds say SHIELD has Melvin in custody and that he's going back to jail. GRAVITY #2 (19:2) One day. Gravity and the Greenwich Guardian save people from a burning building. Sunday, September 14 ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #2 (1-15:4) One day, shortly after AHOS 1 (7-22). Anya, Miguel, and Ted interrogate Bander at Webcorps. They learn from him that Vincent, the leader of the Wasps, is hiring an assassin named Amun to help the Wasps out in criminal endeavors. Amun is to meet Vincent tonight at a secret rendezvous place in an abandoned warehouse. Anya heads home for a few hours and catches her father writing up a story on Bander for the newspaper. Anya tries to read the story when he's not looking, but doesn't learn much. She soon gets a phone call from Ted that it's time to hook up with Miguel to break up Vincent's meeting with Amun. Miguel arrives before Arana and tries to break up the meeting between Vincent and Amun, but Vincent says that he purposefully had Bander leak the information on this meeting to Webcorps, and that this is a trap to give Amun a chance to prove himself by killing Miguel. Arana arrives and all four battle. All four retreat when the battle becomes a stalemate. When Arana tells Miguel that she saw the face of Amun during the battle, he says that she is now marked for death by Amun, and must be on guard. Green trees in New York. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #2 - FB The same night as AHOS 2 (1-15). Miguel walks Arana home. He does a perimeter check but determines that Amun didn't follow them. He tells her to come directly to Webcorps after she gets out of school tomorrow and warns that her life is still in danger. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #2 - FB - FB (20:2) One day, "three days" before AF3 2 (18-21). This flashback probably occurs after XU 12/2. Alpha Flight is called on to investigate an occurrence. Sasquatch, his memory wiped of the incident, is the only one to make it back. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #1 - FB (3-8) It must be the same night as AF3 2-FB-FB (20). During the college season at McGill University, Walter Langkowski tries to recruit Yukon Jack and Zuzha Yu into a new Alpha Flight. Green trees and jackets in Canada. WEAPON X v2 #26 (1-10) One night, after WX2 28-FB.

Grand wants Creed to retrieve Sinister, who as Dr. Windsor now runs a medical research facility. I have Constrictor here, well and in civilian garb, shortly before his beating in S-H3 9-FB (22:1). Monday, September 15 ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #1 - FB (9-21) The day after AF3 1-FB (3-8). On a weekday during the school year, Langkowski tries to recruit Nemesis, Major Mapleleaf, and Rutherford Princeton into a new Alpha Flight. Green grass and trees in Vancouver. WEAPON X v2 #26 (11-22) Probably the day after WX2 26 (1-10).

Creed faces nine more Hans-type individuals and is defeated. Sinister disappears and when Creed comes to, his Megacorp employers express their dissatisfaction. As Creed leaves Megacorp on a stormy night, he encounters Scalphunter. WEAPON X v2 #28 (1-18) The same day as WX2 27. Concerned that the Hans army makes him dispensable, Scalphunter gives Sabretooth information that allows him to get to Sinister and take out the Hanses. As Creed and Essex prepare to battle, Grand shows up and pays Sabretooth, who leaves. Grand reveals himself as Sublime to Sinister and wants to make a deal with him - the Hans army in exchange for a peek at the mutant files that Creed stole from Weapon X. FOUR #8 One day, a "few weeks" after FOUR 7. It is a school day at Pembroke Academy. Johnny complains that all he's done at the firehouse is clean, and the chief tells him that "these last few years have been rough on the firemen," a reference that must include 9-11. Namor shows up to woo Sue yet again, and he gets into a fight with Reed. The recap states that "winter blankets Manhattan," and we do see snow on the ground, along with bare trees and trees still featuring autumn colors. Also, the Hudson River is noted as being "half-frozen." These, unfortunately, are probably topical references. FOUR #9 The same day as FOUR 8. It is "one month" before FOUR 10 (9-22). Reed's fight with Namor is interrupted when Johnny recruits them to help find a boy suspected of having fallen into the icy Hudson River. Namor finds the boy dead in the river and returns him to his mother. Meanwhile, Psycho-Man shows up on a bus at Port Authority vowing revenge on Susan. We see snow and bare trees, and "the temperature only plummeted a few days ago," making ice on the Hudson still thin in places - these are probably topical references. FOUR #11 - FB (1-2:1) The same day as FOUR 9. It is "one month" before FOUR 11. Psycho-Man walks down the snowy streets of New York. RUNAWAYS #18 - FB One day, "three months" after RUN 17 (17-23). Captain America, the Scarlet Witch, and the Vision are at L.A. City Hall, where they've apparently just arrested some Pride agents. Accompanying narration suggests that this has been happening fairly regularly over the last few months. Journalists ask Cap whether it's true that the Runaways stopped the Pride. Cap dodges the question and lectures everyone about the dangers of underage super-heroics. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #2 (15:5-22) The day after AHOS 2-FB. Anya walks to school with her best friend Lynn. They go to class and have a quiz, when into the classroom walks Amun, who's posing as an Egyptian transfer student named Jon Kasiya. Green grass and trees in New York. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #3 The same day as AHOS 2 (15-22). It must be a year after AHOS 3-FB (5:1-5:3). Kasiya sits down in class next to Anya, notices the spider tattoo on her arm, and figures out that Anya is Arana. After school, Amun starts snooping into Anya's private life. Webcorps plans to move Bander to a safe house at "10:00 pm tonight." Both sides prepare for action - Miguel and Nina at Webcorps, and Vincent and Sam at the Wasps headquarters. Anya goes home to find her father going out on an assignment, realizes he's investigating Bander, and thinks that she might run into him tonight. She tries to find out all her father knows by getting Ted to hack into his computer, but she doesn't learn much. That night the Wasps attack the armed escort going from Webcorps to the safe house. Sam kills Bander and Amun wounds Miguel with a dagger. Amun tells Arana that he knows her secret identity and tells her to surrender or he will kill everyone close to her. Just then, she sees her father videotaping the battle nearby. She grabs him, carries him to safety, and destroys the video card for his digital camera. When she gets back, the battle is over and the Wasps have fled. Miguel is rushed to a medical facility at Webcorps and Arana feels like she's failed.

WEAPON X v2 #28 (19-21) Perhaps the rainy night of the day after WX2 28 (1-18). Sublime talks about his deal with Sinister as a Hans is being tested. Creed plays poker with Scalphunter when he is called away to join the Brotherhood, so this segment must occur before X 161. Sabretooth notes that Sinister was leaving for Genosha "this morning," and that places this segment before XCAL3 5. SHE-HULK v3 #8 (13-15) One night. It may not be "almost three months" after S-H3 8 (1-12), but rather only almost three weeks. Guardsmen arrive at GLK&H to check up on Southpaw and leave after being fooled by Ditto's impersonation of Southpaw. Full moon.

According to the recap page of AF3 9, this story occurs "little more than two weeks" after AF3 2-FB (3-17), but I'm thinking it can't be more than two days.

Thursday, September 18 CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #1 - FB (11-12:2) The early morning after CA&F 1-FB (4-6). This flashback must occur after A 503-FB (6). At "12:32 PM" (should be AM) at Avengers "Mansion" (should be "Embassy"), Cap tells the Scarlet Witch that he's going to Cuba, where a hurricane is about to hit. This places this story during hurricane season, between June 1 and November 30. Wanda is wearing the costume she first was seen wearing in A3 65. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #1 - FB (14:4-14:5) The same early morning as CA&F 1-FB (11-12). At "1:53 AM" at the Naval Air Station in Miami, Cap is grounded because of the hurricane.

Beta Ray Bill probably appears here before T2 82 (15-23). SHE-HULK v3 #9 (3-14) The same day as S-H3 8 (18-22). It is "two weeks" after S-H3 9-FB (1-2) and "a while" before A 500 (9-37). It may be over three weeks, not "over three months," after S-H3 8 (1-12). She-Hulk and Southpaw return to earth and Jen exclaims that she hasn't "checked in with the Avengers" in all the time she was gone; this is an indication that this segment must occur before she leaves the team in A:FINALE. Jen touches base with John Jameson and they go to the Baxter Building to have Reed Richards whip up a costume that helps Jen control her new strength as She-Hulk. Meanwhile, Mallory at GLK&H is representing Hercules in a lawsuit filed by the injured Constrictor. Green trees in Manhattan. SHE-HULK v3 #10 (1-3:2) The same day as S-H3 9 (3-14).

ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #4 (3-23) One day, shortly after AHOS 4 (1-2). At Webcorps, Miguel's health is declining; he and Arana are linked and his health will continue to fade until Arana comes back. In a letter, Anya informs Webcorps that she's staying away until she figures out how to deal with Amun. Ted goes looking for her. That evening, Spider-Man encounters Arana for the first time. Arana explains she's going to stop being a crime fighter because a villain learned her secret identity and now everyone is in danger around her. Spidey tells her she can't quit when the going gets tough. Just then, Ted drives by on his bicycle below, chased by some thugs in a car. Arana leaps to the rescue, kicking the thugs' butts, and Spider-Man swings off, wishing her good luck. After the thugs are beaten, Ted begs Arana to come back to Webcorps, but then Amun shows up and starts to attack Arana again. He has the upper hand at first, but Arana becomes angry, her eyes start to glow, and she starts kicking Amun's butt. Ted warns that she's releasing the "spirit of the hunter" in her, and that she could go out of control. Amun retreats and Arana snaps out of it, not remembering her rage. Green trees and short sleeves in New York. Full moon. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #5 (1-10) The same night as AHOS 4 (3-23). It is "two weeks" before AHOS 7. Anya and Ted arrive back at Webcorps and check on Miguel, who is still in the medical facility, where "Nina's been staying over every night," keeping vigil. When Anya gets near Miguel, he recovers. Meanwhile, Vincent tells Amun they are pleased with his work so far. Amun then asks about the origin of the Sisterhood of the Wasps, while at the exact same time, Anya asks about the history of the Brotherhood of the Spider. To protect Anya's identity, Miguel casts a spell and makes her tattoo vanish. He tells her it will reappear in times of crisis. The waning crescent moon is inconsistent with the full moons of AHOS 4 and 6. Friday, September 19 CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #5 The morning after CA&F 4 (between "5:48 AM" and "7:38 AM"). Cap is falling for Wanda. To keep their captive super-sailor alive, Cap and Falc drop in on Luke Cage to get a blood sample with AVX.

Hercules, the plaintiffs play a tape of Herc singing about his beating of Constrictor (now in full body cast), then Jen convinces Herc to do the right thing and pay Constrictor, much to Mallory's chagrin. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #9 The day after AF3 8 (22). Sunpyre, who apparently died in UX 405, is here alive and well. A mind-controlled Big Hero 6 attacks Alpha Flight as they picnic in a park where we see green grass and trees. As the Flight defeats the Japanese heroes, Flashback arrives on the scene to ask Alpha Flight for help. They go to Flight's headquarters, where we see snow. Flashback wants the Flight to go back in time and prevent his future self from getting killed in the past. Nemesis uses her magic blade to send Major Mapleleaf back, and he prevents James Hudson from taking his job with Roxxon, an action that will indirectly save Flashback. In the present, Alpha Flight is attacked by Box robots. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #10 The same day as AF3 9. After Sasquatch determines that Mapleleaf's efforts created an undesirable present, Nemesis dispatches Centennial to the past, via a weigh-station at which Nemesis reveals to him that she's his wife. Rutherford changes history again, this time in such a way as to turn Alpha Flight's new present into an acid rain bath. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #11 The same day as AF3 10. After determining that Rutherford's efforts created a nuked Canada, Nemesis dispatches Zuzha and Yukon to the past. Their meddling creates a present in which super-heroes are outlawed.

From the bag emerges Alpha Flight from around AF 9, and while the original Alpha Flight are still in space, their time-traveling versions join the current team. WITCHES #1 One school day during the college year, presumably a Friday since a professor tells his class to "have a great weekend." At the New York Public Library, Jennifer Kale's brother Andy is introduced to his new job bagging and boxing books in the rare book collection by his boss, Lou, who is actually Satan. When Andy opens one of the books, he's transformed into a demon. Across the Marvel Universe, mystics are shocked by the realization that the tome of Zhered-Na has been opened. Dr. Strange tells Topaz that a creature known as the Hellphyr has been loosed and will feed upon all the world's mystics. Strange locates Jennifer Kale and gets her to help in exchange for letting her keep the book. When Jennifer arrives at Strange's house, she and Topaz watch Strange resurrect Satana. We see a combination of T-shirts, halter tops, and jackets. RUNAWAYS #18 One day, shortly after RUN 18-FB. This story occurs after MYSARC:SG 1/2. The five remaining Runaways meet up at the observatory again. We're told that Gert and Nico have been in orphanages, Molly has been in the custody of the X-Corporation, Karolina has been placed with foster parents, and Chase has already run away, though he turns up for this meeting. None of them are happy with the situation. Chase announces that he has found out where Old Lace is being held. They go there, a warehouse in downtown LA, fight their way past robot guards, and free Old Lace. They also recover the Leapfrog. The Runaways decide not to return to their new homes. Instead they board the Leapfrog and go on the run. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #5 (11-22) The day after AHOS 5 (1-10). Anya gets out of school and meets up with Lynn, who has flowers for Jon because his absence from school leads her to believe he's sick. They go to Jon's house and try to go inside, but Jon has his assassin weapons sprawled out all over the floor, so he suggests going out instead. They go to a coffee shop, where Jon and Anya glare at each other, while Lynn chats with Anya and flirts with Jon. An argument between two other guys in the coffee shop turns into an armed attack. Anya leg sweeps the gunman, and the gunman starts firing at Anya, who ducks behind a table with Lynn. Green grass and trees in New York. ARANA: THE HEART OF THE SPIDER #6 The same day as AHOS 5 (11-22). Anya subdues the gunman, saving Jon's life. Protecting her identity, Anya makes it look like Jon is the hero, which increases Lynn's crush. The police arrive and take Anya, Jon, and Lynn to the police station to file statements. Jon privately tells Anya that since she saved his life, he will not attack her friends and relatives, but they are still enemies. Vincent arrives and takes Jon home, and Gil arrives and checks up on Lynn and Anya. Meanwhile, Nina takes Miguel home, from Webcorps' medical facility and calls Anya to ask her to keep watch over Miguel's place as Arana. Later that night, Vincent, Amun, and a bunch of Wasp thugs break into Miguel's house and attack Miguel. Arana arrives, kicks butt, and escapes with Miguel to Webcorps, where Arana explains to Miguel that Amun won't attack her in her personal life. Miguel is told to stay at Webcorps until he is fully recovered, and Arana goes home. Full moon. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #1 (1-3) One stormy night. Barney Franks, security guard at the children's psychiatric ward of Metro-General Hospital, takes an unscheduled bathroom break. When he returns four minutes later, 13 of the 14 children he was watching over have been violently murdered. The remaining child, Seth Walker, sits silently on the floor knotting a piece of string. Saturday, September 20 CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #7 The morning after CA&F 6. At "2:15 AM," with Navy Intelligence looking for him, Falcon decides to hole up at Leila's place, in part to protect her. Cap wakes up from hallucinating that he and Wanda were together "last night," only to find Falcon in his apartment. They discuss the anti-Cap situation before Cap goes to the U.N., where at "8:38 AM" we see Pym and Wanda (in classic costume), preparing to listen to Stark's address, the very one that he gives in A 500, judging by the text that Tony practices here - this is an indication that this issue occurs before A 500, but given the events in CA4 29, and the discrepancies in Wanda's and Hank's attire here and in A 500, Tony's address must be postponed. Pym tells Cap that the bug is actually the DNA of Modok. Green grass and trees in New Jersey. RUNAWAYS SAGA - FB (21) One day, shortly after RUN 18. Molly writes in her diary about her recent adventures with the Runaways. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #1 (4-6) The day after NC3 1 (1-3). At the Xavier Institute, Scott gives Logan a box containing a new mask. Logan grudgingly puts it on, then punches Scott out; this may be residual resentment about Scott's fairly recent decision to have the team wear costumes in ASTONX3 1 (1-18) - Logan must have worn his Reload costume before now and the mask may be a replacement. Storm briefs Kurt on the events and asks him to look into it, fearing that a mutant is behind the deaths of 13 human children. Kurt is a member of Storm's XSE team, placing this segment after UX 444. Green trees and green falling leaves in New York and weather warm enough for an evening outdoor swim for Ororo. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #8 (1-12:4) Probably the same night as CA&F 7.

WITCHES #2 One day, long enough after WITCHES 1 for the Hellphyr to attack three psychics and a shaman. The Hellphyr attacks and injures Glamour in her home. Using the Orb of Agamotto, Dr. Strange, Wong, Jennifer, Topaz, and Satana view the aftermath of the Hellphyr's attack on Glamour. Strange explains why he has called the three women together, but, unimpressed with how the three are working together, he leaves. The three women snipe at each other. Lilith, who has been watching the three witches bickering, gives birth to a demon and sends it to attack the witches. Strange visits Glamour's hospital room and warns Illusion that if he tries to interfere, he'll die. He leaves, commenting that he has "others to visit." Andy is met by two friends on the street who convince him to provide some money so they can buy some stolen CDs. He offers to take them back to his apartment. Wong spars with the two witches, and during the exercise, Satana accidentally injures Jennifer. Wong warns them they must work together. Illusion arrives at his magic shop and comforts Lizzie, his cat. He lights a candle in an effort to track the Hellphyr, but the spell conjures the Hellphyr, and it attacks and apparently kills him. Lou watches from the sidewalk outside the shop. Strange arrives at Lilith's base, in time to witness Illusion's death, scried by Lilith. Strange warns Lilith to stay away from the witches. She assures him she will, but cautions that other bad things can happen, and shows him an image of her demon stalking the three witches, back at Strange's house. WITCHES #3 The same night as WITCHES 2. Lilith's demon attacks the witches. During the battle, Jennifer accidentally injures Satana. Lilith taunts Strange, while they watch the battle. The witches destroy Lilith's demon. Satana and Jennifer argue, and Jennifer rushes out, leaving the house. Jennifer calls Andy and leaves a message saying she's on her way over. Andy tries to reach the answering machine to stop her, but he inadvertently partially transforms into Hellphyr and destroys the answering phone. When Andy wonders what's happening to him, Lou steps out of the shadows, offering answers. Strange arrives home, and compares notes with Satana. Lou taunts Andy and watches through a window as Jennifer's cab arrives. Strange divines that Jennifer has gone to Andy's apartment. Lou explains to Andy what's happening to him, while Andy gradually transforms into Hellphyr. WITCHES #4 The same night as WITCHES 3. The Hellphyr attacks Jennifer in Andy's apartment. Jennifer thinks the Hellphyr has injured Andy, but Lou reveals that the Hellphyr is Andy. Strange, Satana, and Topaz arrive, and while the three witches battle the Hellphyr, Strange battles Lilith. Satan entices Satana to quit the team and join him, revealing that the book is inside the Hellphyr, and the only way to get the book is to kill the Hellphyr. Satana refuses the offer and the witches destroy the Hellphyr with Andy's encouragement, gaining possession of the book. Strange defeats Lilith and she teleports away. In Andy's apartment, Strange insists that the witches give the book to him. They remind him of his promise to Jennifer, and they leave him, taking the book with them. Sunday, September 21 GRAVITY #3 (12-13:2) Early one morning, several days before GRAV 3 (13-17). Greg goes out in costume, presumably to meet Greenwich Guardian. He still has a wound on his forehead, but the bandage is gone. He ends up standing on a rooftop till sunrise. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #8 (13-21) The morning after CA&F 8-FB (18-19). At "8:15 AM," Cap considers his encounter with Wanda and Pym (presumably the day before) and thinks that Modok's mental powers could be causing his hallucinations. At "9:32 AM," Cap and Sam see the Anti- Cap at the Wakandan Consulate to ask him about Westbrook's plan for the Modok DNA and the Rivas cover, to no avail. When Cap and Sam go to Robbie for help at "10:36 AM," Robbie questions Cap about Sam's strange behavior, then Cap is called back to the Consulate, where he witnesses the Anti-Cap's death, presumably from a reaction to the AVX substitute. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #12 (21:1) One day. Alpha Flight members transported from the past reclaim their team name. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #1 (7-22) Probably the night of the day after NC3 1 (4-6), as NC3 1 (1-3) is referred to as having occurred"that night," not "last night." Kurt meets night nurse Christine Palmer, who introduces him to Barney. Barney begins to intimate that "true evil" is behind the childrens' deaths, but they are interrupted by Dr. Childs, who objects to Kurt's presence and removes Barney. Kurt then goes to visit Seth, who is making small figurines out of clay and has not spoken since the night his friends were killed. Kurt's appearance frightens Seth, so he teleports away, ending up on the roof, where he discovers hoofprints burned into the surface, leading across the roofs of the city and ending at the Dakota Building. There Kurt spots Dr. Childs hosting a party, which is interrupted by Barney shouting from the street that Dr. Childs lied to him when he promised the children wouldn't be hurt. Dr. Childs stares impassively down at Barney, who suddenly bursts into flames. Full moon. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #2 (1-6) The same night as NC3 1 (7-22). Kurt teleports the burning Barney Franks into the Central Park Reservoir, but the magical flames continue to burn underwater and Kurt watches in horror as Barney dies. He reports in to Storm, who suggests contacting Dr. Strange, but Kurt says he'd like to try someone else first. Full moon. Monday, September 22 CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #29 (1-18) One day, "a couple days" before CA4 30 (14-22). This segment must occur after PPTSS2 20. After defeating Mr. Hyde (who escaped from the Raft), Cap runs into someone he thinks is Diamondback and the two are recruited by Nolan, a rogue SHIELD agent impersonating Nick Fury, to rescue Senator Winslow (who's expected "to run for president in 2008") from the clutches of Hydra in Florida. The heroes complete their mission. Spidey and Moon Knight (who apparently has returned to action) cameo. The waning crescent moon is inconsistent with the full moon of CA4 30 (14-22). NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #2 (7-22) Probably the day after NC3 2 (1-6). It is likely two days before NC3 3. In Limbo, Kurt asks Amanda Sefton's advice on the case. She suggests that Seth may have an innate knowledge of magic and that the knots in his string may be locking spells, keeping him from talking. That stormy night, Kurt visits Seth again and unties one of the knots in his string, enabling Seth to talk. Seth begins to describe the night his friends died, saying that he felt hot inside and tied a knot to stop the feeling. Dr. Childs bursts in, ordering Kurt out of his hospital and bringing a woman, who he claims is Seth's only living relative, to take custody of him. On the way out of the hospital, Kurt is found by Nurse Palmer, who brings him to the morgue, where she shows him that the bodies of all the children have burned down to ash. YOUNG AVENGERS SPECIAL #1 - FB (15-16) One school day, probably very shortly before A 500 (1-8). The Scarlet Witch finds Billy Kaplan outside the grounds of Avengers Mansion, nursing a wound inflicted by a bully at school. Wanda gives Billy a pep talk and tells him to stand up to the bully. Falling autumn leaves in New York. EXCALIBUR v3 #5 One day. X-Corp headquarters in Mumbai, Singapore, and Nairobi are simultaneously bombed, and as Xavier tries to get a sense of those responsible, his telepathic link is violently broken. Haunted by visions of the destruction of Genosha, Shola unleashes his power, which is detected by the U.S. military. Then Stripmine, Appraiser, and their band of trolls attack, looking to pillage Genosha. The attack on X-Corp is referenced in XFOR2 2, which must occur after this. Xavier detects the presence of Mr. Sinister, so this story must occur after WX2 28. EXCALIBUR v3 #6 The same day as XCAL3 5. Their powers neutralized, Xavier, Magneto, Callisto, Wicked, Shola, and Karima are held captive by the pillagers, who are in league with Unus. Freakshow remains free, chased by trolls. Shola's power returns and he subdues trolls and Unus, but is blindsided by Black Beast. Xavier, Magneto, Callisto, and Wicked escape captivity. EXCALIBUR v3 #7 The same night as XCAL3 6. While Black Beast attempts to tap into Karima's Omega Sentinel capabilities, Xavier leaves Magneto to neutralize Wicked's nannites and he, Callisto, and Freakshow battle Black Beast, Stripmine, Appraiser, and the trolls. The villains are defeated when Karima is freed. "Two hours later," Xavier and Magneto pledge to rebuild the Republic of Genosha. IRON MAN v3 #87 - FB (3:4-5:1) One night, which must occur more than "a couple of days" before IM3 87 (3-21). Tony and Rumiko have dinner in Japan and run into Clarence Ward. Rumiko finds an engagement ring in Tony's jacket pocket. Tuesday, September 23: Autumnal Equinox EXCALIBUR v3 #8 (1-16) Perhaps the day after XCAL3 7. Seeking to rebuild Genosha, Xavier tries to enlist help. Unus and his gang turn him down, but the jailed Magistrates, Black Beast, Stripmine, Appraiser, and trolls agree to work in exchange for parole. The rebuilding begins, and Xavier aims to find every living person still on the island. AVENGERS #500 (1-8) One morning, probably very shortly after YAS 1-FB (15-16) and within a month after S-H4 5-FB. This segment occurs after S- H4 5-FB and must occur after SM:BBRAO 1 (17-22) and WM3 5-FB. According to Jen's dialog in S-H3 11, this segment occurs after S-H3 9 (16-21). Jack of Hearts shows up at Avengers Embassy and blows up the place. Ant-Man is killed but the other Avengers present survive. Green grass and trees in Manhattan. The embassy's computer notes that Jack's file is "inactive as of May 5th of this year," suggesting that Jack perished before May 5; this may not be right, but it is the same year as A3 76. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #29 (19-22) The morning after CA4 29 (1-18) and the same morning as A 500 (1-8). Winslow and Nolan discuss the rescue, which was a set- up. Cap and the Diamondback LMD return to New York, where Cap answers a "priority white alert" from the Avengers and the Diamondback LMD goes home to report to her boss, the Red Skull. We see green trees in New York and folks wearing everything from shorts to jackets. AVENGERS #500 (9-37) The same morning as CA4 29 (19-22). It is "a while" after S-H3 9 (3-14). While addressing the U.N., Tony Stark verbally attacks the Latverian delegate, snaps at Yellowjacket, and tells Wanda (back in current costume) he feels drunk before they get a "code white" alert from the Avengers. Cap shows up at the burning embassy, as does the Vision, who rams his quinjet into the building's remains and attacks his teammates with Ultron robots that emerge from pods that eject from his body. The Avengers beat the robots, but Wasp and Captain Britain are injured and hospitalized, and She-Hulk goes savage and tears the Vision apart. The Falcon, for some reason, does not appear in the high-tech costume he wore in CA&F 6-8 and he is clean shaven. Green trees in Manhattan. AVENGERS #501 The same day as A 500 (9-37). Tony is asked to resign as Secretary of Defense, then responds to the Avengers emergency and knocks out She-Hulk, who is turned over to SHIELD custody. The Vision's parts are sent to Stark Enterprises. Captain Britain and Wasp are hospitalized and Pym pours out his feelings. After getting no show of support from his teammates on the U.N. debacle, Iron Man leaves in a huff. Cap, Falcon, and Hawkeye return to the Embassy to find a horde of Avengers and other heroes. Green grass and trees in Manhattan. AVENGERS #502 (1-3) The same day as A 501. The assembled Avengers try to make sense of the chaos. Jocasta's presence in her original body is unexplained. Warbird is back in her classic costume. IRON MAN v3 #86 - FB (3-4) The same day as A 502 (1-3). CNN reports on Stark's U.N. scene and Stark's being relieved of his duties as Secretary of State. Rumiko tries in vain to contact Tony from Japan. AVENGERS #502 (4-22) The CNN report continues, noting that the UN has disavowed the Avengers. The assembled Avengers are attacked by a fleet of Kree warriors and Hawkeye sacrifices himself to destroy one of the attacking alien ships. The Kree retreat and Dr. Strange arrives. AVENGERS #503 (4-5, 7-15) The same day as A 502 (4-22). Dr. Strange explains to the Avengers that Wanda is behind all the chaos and when she attacks, Strange is forced to shut her mind down. EXCALIBUR v3 #8 (17-20) The same day as A 503 (7-15). Thanks to Broadband, Magneto catches a "live" news television report on the destruction of "Avengers Mansion" (no longer "Avengers Embassy" since the UN disavowed the Avengers in A 502) and "casualties among earth's mightiest heroes." According to a statement by Xavier in XCAL3 11, it is "barely a night" since Xavier left to find survivors on Genosha. The waning crescent moon is consistent with that shown in CA4 29. AVENGERS #503 (16-30:5) The same day as XCAL3 8 (17-20). It is a "long time" after A 503-FB (6) - long in terms of an unattended corpse hanging around. This segment occurs before S-H3 11 and must occur before CA5 1-FB (9:5) and shortly before CA&F 13. It is "three months" before A:FINALE. This story must occur before CA&F 9, although that would mean the Falcon appears in A 500-503 in his old costume between appearances in CA&F in his new costume; it also means that he's a wanted man in A 500-503. The Beast is wearing his Morrison-era outfit, so this story should occur before such stories as ROGUE3 2, XU 6/2, and C&DP 6 (17- 21). The Quicksilver who appears in this story arc is a creation of Wanda; the same might be true of the Spider-Woman who appears here, as it cannot be Jessica Drew, unless Julia Carpenter has donned the classic togs she never wore before. The Avengers find and battle Wanda, who is defeated by Dr. Strange when he is forced to shut her mind down. Fury finds the deceased Agatha Harkness. Then Magneto (who as far as the Avengers know should be a dead mass murderer) just shows up and takes her. Green trees in Manhattan. EXCALIBUR v3 #9 - FB The same day as A 503 (16-30). Magneto flies away with Wanda as Cap looks on. Green grass and tress in Manhattan. AVENGERS #503 (30:6-31) The same day as XCAL3 9-FB. This segment occurs before GSSW 1, must occur before NC3 3, and probably occurs before BW4 1 (1-11) and S-H4 13-FB (3:4~16:1). It is "a while" before M/TU3 6. According to Tom Brevoort, this story occurs before M/KSM 11. After Magneto and Wanda leave, the Avengers disperse. EXCALIBUR v3 #8 (21-23) The same day as A 503 (30-31). Magneto teleports back to Genosha with Wanda in tow. GLA #1 - FB (16:2-22:3) The same night as A 503 (30-31). It must be much more than just "a couple weeks" before GLA 1-FB (22:4). The Great Lakes Avengers see and hear news coverage of the deaths of Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Vision and the disbanding of the Avengers (which must be a premature and erroneous report, as the disbanding doesn't occur until A:FINALE). Mr. Immortal picks up the mantle and has his team go out on patrol. They encounter Maelstrom, who kills Dinah Soar and takes off with a large device. Deathurge comes to claim the slain Dinah Soar and Mr. Immortal is distraught. Full moon. YOUNG AVENGERS #2 - FB (10:1) One rainy night, probably very shortly after A 503 (30-31). Young Kang travels to the present only to find that "the Avengers had disbanded" - at this time, the disbanding could not have been official, since this flashback must occur before A:FINALE. Wednesday, September 24 YOUNG AVENGERS #2 - FB (10:2-11) Perhaps the day after YA 2-FB (10:1). This flashback must occur before YAS 1-FB (17-18) and A:FINALE. When he fails to contact former Avengers (including Tony Stark, who appears here), Young Kang sneaks into Stark Industries and discovers the Vision's torn-up body, whose processing system and data files he downloads. Vision must be here before HERC 1-FB (7-9). IRON MAN v3 #86 The day after IM3 86-FB (3-4). It is probably less than "several months" after IM3 86-FB (17-19) - it may just be several days after - and probably just two years, not "three years," after IM3 86-FB (1-2). A fake Iron Man slays the Stark-Fujikawa board of directors and attacks Happy and Pepper. IRON MAN v3 #87 (1-2) The same day as IM3 86. Pepper and Happy are informed about the murder of the board. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #30 (1-13) One day. Cap and the Diamondback LMD foil Batroc and his gang at a Yankees game, where we see folks in light clothing and jackets. The Red Skull gets an armor from Nolan and refuses to pay. That night, the Diamondback LMD sleeps with Steve. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #3 One afternoon and night, likely two days after NC3 2 (7-22). Beast is wearing his Reload costume (perhaps for the first time), so this story must occur after A 503 (30-31). Storm interrupts a fencing match between Kurt and Kitty, chastising him for taking a "time-out" on Seth's case. Kurt tells her that he's had the Beast do some detective work and discovered that all fourteen children were orphans, their care sponsored by residents of the Dakota Building. That night, Kurt visits Seth again to find that he has almost finished sculpting fourteen clay figurines he calls "jars." They are interrupted by Christine's cry that Seth's aunt is attacking Dr. Childs outside. Kurt intervenes and at Dr. Childs' urging, teleports the woman into a nearby church, where, to his astonishment, thirteen demons are exorcized from her body. Kurt takes her to Limbo, and he and Amanda discover that Dr. Childs put the demons into the woman's body, forcing her to pretend to be Seth's aunt, but the demons were too strong and forced her to attack the doctor. Amanda reveals that Brad and Roger have heard rumors that most of Satan's inner circle have been freed from hell with the exception of one, the demon Pazuzu, who remains locked somewhere between hell and earth. Kurt begins to put the pieces together and realizes that the demons were freed by bursting through the bodies and souls of the children, except Seth, who used his innate magical knowledge to "lock" Pazuzu inside himself. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Dr. Childs enters Seth's room, dagger in hand, ready to cut Pazuzu free. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #4 - FB The same night as NC3 3. A lightning storm has begun. Kurt learns from Christine that Dr. Childs has taken Seth from the hospital and he asks to borrow her phone. Meanwhile, Dr. Childs brings Seth to the Dakota Building, explaining that he's magically disrupted Kurt's teleporting powers and thrown protective wards around the building. They arrive and enter a room with thirteen smiling patrons and thirteen demons trapped in a magic circle. Dr. Childs tells Seth that his pact with the devil, freeing the fourteen demons in exchange for fourteen years of servitude to them, is not complete until all fourteen demons have been freed and all fourteen children have died. Suddenly, Kurt reveals himself as one of the patrons, disguised by his image- inducer. He punches Dr. Childs, trying to keep him from cutting Seth, but all Dr. Childs needs to cut is the knot in Seth's string, which he does. Suddenly Seth's stomach starts bulging and Kitty leaps out of the crowd as well. She phases Seth, allowing the demon Pazuzu to pass through him. Pazuzu is freed, but since Seth's blood was not spilled, Dr. Childs' pact is incomplete and Pazuzu turns on him, ripping him to shreds as the circle binding the other demons dissolves. At that moment, Amanda teleports in with Nurse Palmer holding Seth's fourteen clay statues. Combining her spells with the magic Seth imbued into the statues, Amanda is able to trap all fourteen demons inside them, and as the X-Men collect the fleeing patrons, the demons vanish in a burst of flame. Green trees. Full moon. Thursday, September 25 NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #4 The day after NC3 4-FB. Kurt tells Storm how he got into the warded building (Kitty simply phased him in) and they discuss the fallout of the case. The patrons are in jail, Kurt has regained his ability to teleport, Amanda has the fourteen clay statues lined up on her hearth, and Seth is now living at the Xavier Institute, studying under Emma Frost. Storm congratulates Kurt on a job well done. Green trees and green falling leaves. IRON MAN v3 #87 (3-21) The day after IM3 87 (1-2). This segment must occur more than "a couple of days" after IM3 87-FB (3-5). It is "three months" after IM3 87-FB (9-13). A 500 is referred to as having occurred "the other day." Pepper and Happy are concerned about Stark as a senate investigating committee reviews the murder of the Stark-Fujikawa board. Rumiko and friend Oshima arrive at Tony's place and are killed by the fake Iron Man. Tony emerges from a self-examination, discovers Rumiko, and is attacked by the fake Iron Man. Green grass and trees in New York. IRON MAN v3 #88 The same day as IM3 87. Tony dons armor and battles the fake Iron Man. The media and the military gather at the battle scene, the Stark estate in Virginia, where we see green grass. IRON MAN v3 #89 (1-12:4) The same day as IM3 88. It is "one week" before IM3 89 (12-14). The fake Iron Man, revealed to be Clarence Ward, is defeated. Pepper activates a failsafe that disarms Tony and the military, thereby averting a showdown. After Tony leaves, the military commander kills Ward. Green trees in Virginia. "It's not even Halloween." YOUNG AVENGERS SPECIAL #1 - FB (17-19:3) One day, after YA 2-FB (10-11). Billy avoids the bully at school, but when he sees him picking on another student, Billy stands up to him and exhibits his powers for the first time. After almost killing the bully, Billy heads to Avengers Mansion to seek out Wanda for help, but he finds the building destroyed - the fact that this is a surprise to him indicates that it must be shortly after A 503, and that means that young Kang must have arrived from the future immediately after A 503, because as Billy stands at the ruins, he is approached by young Kang as Iron Lad. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #30 (14-22) The day after CA4 30 (1-13). It is "a couple days" after CA4 29 (1-18). I have placed Anaconda here after her stint in Six Pack in C&DP 7-8. Fury orders Nolan to investigate the goings-on at Hydra Island. The Red Skull gets the Diamondback LMD to pour poison in Steve's drink on their date tonight, but before Cap can drink it, the two are attacked and captured by the Serpent Society. Full moon. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #31 (1-2) The same night as CA4 30 (14-22). Cap and the Diamondback LMD are chained up by the Serpent Society. Friday, September 26 GLA #2 - FB (2:2-4) One day, probably a few days after GLA 1-FB (16-22). It must be much more than just "a couple weeks" before GLA 2. In rainy Milwaukee, the GLA attend Dinah Soar's funeral and Mr. Immortal fights Deathurge. GRAVITY #3 (13:3-17) One day, several days after GRAV 3 (12-13). Greg has been skipping classes hasn't been speaking much to people for some time. Finally Lauren comes to his dorm room and makes him go with her to a boat parade on the East River. Greg's bruises have faded. We see long sleeves, an outdoor boating event, and green trees in New York. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #31 (3-22) The day ("16 hours") after CA4 31 (1-2). Cap infers that the events of A 500-503 occur in the past "week." Cap's enemies gather to bid on the captured hero, but Cap and the Diamondback LMD free themselves and defeat the Serpent Society. Nick Fury apprehends Nolan and his followers. Spidey arrives at Cap's apartment seeking help, but swings away when he sees Cap isn't there. Cap deals with the destruction of his apartment, assists Paladin on a mission behind the scenes, and heads over to Diamondback's place for dinner. Just before he arrives, the Red Skull kills the Diamondback LMD because she refuses to follow up on the plan to kill Cap. CAPTAIN AMERICA v4 #32 The same night as CA4 31 (3-22). This story occurs before M/TU3 6, "months" before CA5 1, and probably occurs before CA&F 9. The Skull attacks Cap, but is defeated by the resurrected "Diamondback," who is revealed to be an LMD. Nick Fury and SHIELD arrive an explain the entire situation, which turns out to have been a plot by Nolan, with the Red Skull as a pawn. Cap is reunited with the real Diamondback. The Diamondback LMD is next seen in stasis in the SHIELD hellicarrier in FOES 4. Saturday, September 27 EXCALIBUR v3 #9 One day. The title of this story is "Saturday Night Fever," so I suppose it's a Saturday. It is long enough after XCAL3 8 (21-23) for Xavier's charges to have built some habitats, to have continued to convert the ruins of Hammer Bay to arable land, and for Karima to note to Magneto, "We haven't seen you in so long, we were starting to worry." Magneto maintains vigil over Wanda and wishes to summon Xavier, who is still with Callisto up-country, where they discover some child survivors. Karima fetches Hub, who teleports to Xavier and returns with Callisto and the children. Black Beast leads the Magistrates on a mission to retrieve a cache of supplies and encounter a clawed creature, who decimates the Magistrates. Black Beast escapes and makes his way back to Callisto and company before collapsing. EXCALIBUR v3 #10 The same day as XCAL3 9. It is "only days" after Xavier left between pages 16 and 17 of XCAL3 8. Hub teleports to Xavier's house to get a medical kit for Black Beast, but Magneto has encased the place in a force field and orders Hub to fetch Xavier. As Wicked watches over McCoy, Callisto and Karima investigate the Magistrates' slaughter and encounter the Sugar Man and Rastus. Callisto's left tentacles are torn off before the bad guys are defeated. Xavier arrives back at his house and Magneto asks for his help with Wanda. EXCALIBUR v3 #11 (4-8) The same day as XCAL3 10. It is "six months" before XCAL3 11 (9-22) and XCAL3 13 (19-23). Xavier and Magneto argue about Erik's fetching of Wanda, but Xavier agrees to help. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #9 One day. This story must occur after A 503 (16-31), and so likely after CA4 32. It must be more than "eight years" after CA&F 9-FB. At "7:43 AM," the Navy gives the anti-Cap a burial at sea, but the Falcon retrieves the anti-Cap from the water and revives him from a death-like paralysis at "9:12 AM" to set him against Westbrook. Modok kills the sixth AIM agent "in the last week," since CA&F 8 (1-12). Cap believes that the Falcon's erratic behavior of late is, like his own hallucinations, the result of Wanda's de-stabilization. That evening, Cap and SHIELD agent Morales attend a yacht party held by Westbrook, then they infiltrate the Rivas Compound in New Jersey at "8:41 PM." Green trees in the New York area. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #10 The same night as CA&F 9, between "8:42 PM" and "9:10 PM." Cap encounters Modok at the Rivas Compound and discovers that Damocles Rivas (the Saint) is trapped in Modok's body. Falcon shakes down a senator who's in bed with the Rivas Cartel. The anti-Cap confronts Westbrook but can't bring himself to kill him. Falcon arrives, subdues Westbrook, and fires the anti- Cap, and all three are attacked by the Saint, who now has Modok's mind. Green grass and trees in New Jersey. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #11 The same night as CA&F 10. At "9:26 PM," Cap and Morales investigate Westbrook's sunken yacht while Modok (in the Saint's body) messes with the minds of Falcon and the Anti-Cap. At "10:02 PM," Cap and Morales return to the Rivas Compound, where SHIELD is investigating. At "10:08 PM," they coax the Saint (in Modok's body) to the compound, the anti- Cap kills the Saint's body, and at "10:14 PM," Morales injects Modok with the virus, but to no avail. Struggling inside Modok, the suicidal Saint teleports away and Cap follows him to Singapore, where the Hulk is. CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #12 The same night as CA&F 11. Morales refers to CA&F 9 and 10 as having occurred "last week," but this can't be right. Knowing that the death of Modok will release an airborne genetic mutation that will threaten the planet, Cap tries to keep Hulk from killing the Saint. A mind blast from Modok causes the Banner personality in the Hulk to emerge so that a way to neutralize the virus can be found. Banner links up with Hank Pym and Reed Richards to hastily concoct an experimental compound that Cap feels compelled to administer even after Modok is placed in stasis. Banner reverts to Savage Hulk. The Falcon has Redwing destroy the compound and insists that a new batch be prepared and tested. Full moon. FOUR #11 - FB (2:2) One night, "twenty-eight days" before FOUR 11. Controlled by Psycho-Man, a gang of transients attacks a woman in Central Park, where we see snow, which may be topical. Sunday, September 28 MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #12 - FB (13:2-14:1) One day. Titannus serves at the side of the Trellion king and takes notice of his daughter, Amissa. GRAVITY #3 (18-22) One evening. Lauren has Greg come to her place and meet her parents. Greg's bruises appear to have healed completely. Just as they're about to kiss, Lauren and Greg hear the commotion outside of Spider-Man fighting Jack O'Lantern. Although at first he wants to go meet Spidey, Greg stays with Lauren instead. Green trees in New York. Monday, September 29 CAPTAIN AMERICA AND THE FALCON v2 #13 Early one morning, shortly after CA&F 12. Sam's remark about starting "a quest to find the Scarlet Witch" is probably an indication that this story occurs shortly after A 503 (30-31). At "2:49 AM," the anti-Cap dispatches a Dr. Trevian. At "2:52 AM," the Falcon is shacked up with Morales when Cap arrives to inquire about Sam's recent behavior. After Steve and Sam call their partnership quits, Leila's boyfriend shows up with a gun and ends up shooting Cap. Cap is rushed into the hospital at "3:08 AM" and presumably dies in the E.R.

Sue suggests that the FF broker a deal with the mayor to get the home back and that Reed invent a cure for acne to build up their fortune - this could be an indication that this story occurs before FF 512 (1-10), or the statement may reflect Sue's unawareness that Reed has already done it or Sue's meaning an idea like his cure for acne. Full moon. NIGHTCRAWLER v3 #5 (1-18) One evening. The events of X 150 (1-29) are noted by the mayor as having occurred "last year," but if the centennial celebration in NC3 6 actually does occur on "October 24," then X 150 would have occurred earlier this year; perhaps the reference is to a fiscal year that runs from July through June - one of the mayor's big concerns about Magneto's destruction would have been the impact on the city's annual budget and so he might frame the event temporally in that context. Kurt and Christine and Logan and Ororo wait for a subway train while on a double date in New York when an army of rats runs by, followed by an out-of-control train. They all teleport aboard to help. Kurt and Christine check on the conductor, who died of fright. Logan makes sure that the passengers are all right and Ororo stops the train by short-circuiting the third rail with lightning.

She sneaks into a familiar building and realizes that she was experimented upon as a child there. She escapes from guards there with the help of Grigor Ivanovich Pchelintsov, who reveals that he was one of the scientists who experimented on her and 26 other Black Widow agents years ago. All of them were put through a psycho-chemical regimen which implanted fake memories into their minds, and which gave them headaches and vomiting if they try to remember the truth. Grigor tells her about the field station in the Ural Mountains where they worked on the Medusagen chemical. Natasha steals a jeep and forces Grigor to guide her to the field station. In Langley, Virginia, Max and Kestrel try to get ICT Monitoring to cooperate with them but get nowhere. On their boat, McMasters and Vassily discuss who's fault it is that the Black Widow hasn't been caught yet; Vassily blames Max and Kestrel and McMasters blames the Russians.

She concludes that the station is just a lure for old agents and that the real facility is inside a nearby mountain.

He says that some people saw a strange car stopping along the side of the road near where they found the Widow's car and that they got a partial license plate number. That night, McMasters' boat is docked at Freeport, Bahamas for some reloading. A mysterious assassin tries to get onto the boat to kill McMasters, but Vassily kills the assassin. Back in the Urals, Natasha has waited for nightfall, but has now slipped into the real Red Room facility inside a nearby mountain. She sees that this place is a full-fledged operational laboratory. Breaking into the office of the woman who runs the place, she meets Lyudmila Kudrin, former head of biotech at the Red Room, and another of the scientists who worked on the Widow program years ago. Natasha gets many answers from her. Lyudmila explains that she had all of the Widow's genetic structure altered to allow for fast healing, slow aging, skin toughness, and resistance to illness. Natasha also learns that she can't have babies; if she gets pregnant, her body automatically has a miscarriage. She learns that Stacy was taking Medusagen pills to lower her immune and repair functions and allow her fetus to survive. Natasha also learns that the Red Room sold most of their biotech to Gynacon.

He walks away and Natasha states she always feels like punching Nick Fury but never does. Lyudmila explains that the reason for that is that Fury uses a "pheromonal lock and key" that prevents attack by any Black Widow operative.

Agent Hoskins and NSA/CIA agent Marcus Baldry enter a maximum security prison for seven former NSA operatives who went rogue and had to be taken down. En route to Bullseye's cell Baldry explains that he intends to use a good cop/bad cop scenario on the prisoner, getting Bullseye to talk about his past to soften him up and eventually get him to tell where the nukes are. Bullseye seems to respond to this approach and tells a story of his childhood in the Bronx, while the warden receives a call that the missiles have been found, but the plutonium is missing. BULLSEYE: GREATEST HITS #2 The same day as B:GH 1. The police find the warheads cut up and placed on a playground, where kids have been playing on it for "at least a week."

BULLSEYE: GREATEST HITS #5 The same day as B:GH 4. Hoskins and Baldry enter Bullseye's cell, with Horace backing them up. Meanwhile, the warden gets a call that, contrary to previous theory, Bullseye does not have a tumor, but rather some scarring from an old surgery and therefore must have faked the seizure that got him captured. Hoskins begins working him over and Bullseye keeps antagonizing him. With cold dread the feds realize that Hoskins has knocked one of Bullseye's teeth out. Bullseye kills Hoskins with a tooth between the eyes and when Horace tries to shoot him, Bullseye uses his manacles to deflect the shot right back through the cyborg's cybernetic eye. The prison staff sets the self destruct and tries to evacuate, but they are assassinated by men in suits who intend to buy the plutonium from Bullseye. Bullseye tells Baldry that a lot of the family history he gave was bull. Bullseye lets Baldry run away, but the agent gets trapped in containment foam meant to keep the prisoners from escaping. Using Horace's handprint, Bullseye tracks down his bedridden father, who is one of the other prisoners. He tells his father that mom's dead as he rolls his bed to the glass door of a fireproof cell. Bullseye gets inside the cell and watches his father burn with the rest of the installation. After the fire burns down, Bullseye makes his way out to the snipers outside and completes the sale of the remaining plutonium for $3 million. Then he drives away smiling. CABLE & DEADPOOL #11 (1-19:5) One day, "three days" after C&DP 10. Modok probably appears here after CA&F 12. Irene and Fury talk about Cable. To protect his physical body, Nathan traps the Six Pack in his mind. Deadpool obtains a techno-organic embryo from AIM, then he gets the Fixer to agree to try to figure out a way to merge the embryo with Nathan's body to save Cable. Bare trees in London and apparently nice weather in Florida. Waxing half moon. Thursday, October 30 DISTRICT X #1 - FB One day. While under the influence of a mutant siren in District X, New York cop Gus Kucharsky shoots two people dead and wounds himself with a shot to the head. To help Gus, his partner, Izzy Ortega covers up the incident. Green trees and light clothing in New York. CABLE & DEADPOOL #11 (19:6-22) The day after C&DP 11 (1-19). As Fixer and Deadpool work with the embryo, Agent X attacks. CABLE & DEADPOOL #12 (1-21:3) The same day as C&DP 11 (19-22). It is "one week" after C&DP 12 (21-22). It must be more than just "a month" before C&DP 13 and "a few months" before C&DP 18 and C&DP 20 (2-13). Deadpool defeats Agent X and, with Weasel and the Fixer, gets the techno-organic embryo to Cable. Cable merges with the embryo, which restores Nathan with a new techno-organic arm and frees the Six Pack. We see a waxing half moon but the whole moon is visible. MADROX #1 One night, sometime after the "May 24" noted on a newspaper clipping. One of Jamie Madrox's duplicates, dying from a stabbing he must have received the day before, catches a taxi back to Mutant Town, where Rahne Sinclair is visiting Jamie, who is now a private investigator. As Rahne and Jamie get reacquainted, another duplicate arrives, dressed as a Buddhist Monk. Jamie says he needs to reabsorb this duplicate to learn what all the dupe has learned in his travels. He asks Rahne to go to a local bar, where she meets Guido Carosella, who explains what Jamie is up to. The wounded Jamie duplicate enters the bar and collapses on the floor. Guido yells for the real Jamie, who arrives and looks at his dying duplicate. Jamie reabsorbs the dying duplicate and is knocked out from the pain. When he awakens in his apartment, he tells Rahne and Guido that the limited memories he got seemed to involve Chicago and a pretty woman. He creates a new duplicate of himself, whom he asks to stay with Rahne and Strong Guy while he goes off to investigate in Chicago. Jamie refers to Rahne as a teacher at Xavier's, so this story must occur sometime after NM2 10. Rahne is under 21, not old enough to drink legally. Rahne notes that Jamie has quit his job at X-Corp in Paris, placing this story sometime after X 131. Rahne notes that Guido and Lila Cheney were an item, but they apparently have broken up. Green, leafy trees. It is warm enough for outdoor swimming in Chicago. Waxing crescent moon. Friday, October 31: Halloween DISTRICT X #1 The day after DX 1-FB. Izzy visits Gus in the hospital and continues the cover-up. Izzy returns to the precinct and meets Bishop, who's been called in to check out rumors of an impending mutant gang war in District X. DISTRICT X #2 The same day as DX 1. As Internal Affairs investigates the Gus shooting, Bishop goes out on patrol with Izzy and during a fracas with a bug-hatching mutant, Bishop displays his mutant power. Local crime boss Shaky Kaufman finds out from Jazz about a new street drug called "Toad Juice" and the mutant who secretes it, who is controlled by rival crimelord, Frankie Zapruder. That night, Izzy goes home to his mutant wife. Short-sleeve shorts worn by New Yorkers FANTASTIC FOUR #517 One evening. It is a day on which the Today show broadcast a story on the disbanding of the Avengers; Ben mentions that "th' lucky ones are in the hospital," but that he still doesn't know exactly what happened; this is an indication that this story occurs during the "three months" between A 503 (16-31) and A:FINALE, and before the FF appear with the Avengers, including a healed Wasp, in M/KSM 11. Fantastic Four, Inc. is working its way out of the red with revenues from trademarks and patents. Mysterious obelisks appear around Manhattan and the island is levitated. "It is Halloween" - we see trick or treaters, but for some reason the trees are still leafy and green. Valeria is a toddler and appears to be about 18 months old here, and that fits in nicely with calendar placement. FANTASTIC FOUR #518 The same night as FF 517. Reed stops Manhattan from levitating and the rest of the team discover the culprit, an alien named Zius who seeks to eject the island into the sun because it contains something that can thwart the cloaking device he's been using to shield planets from Galactus. That something turns out to be Sue, who surrenders herself to save Manhattan. FANTASTIC FOUR #519 The same night as FF 518. According to FF 525, it is "a few days" before FF 523. Reed uses a new device to remove Sue's powers, which forces Zius to restore Manhattan and leave. Reed explains that the device actually caused Sue and Johnny to switch powers. Before Reed can switch the powers back, Galactus shows up to claim the being with Sue's invisibility powers - Johnny. FANTASTIC FOUR #520 The same night as FF 519. I've placed this story before PPTSS2 21 (1-15). Galactus leaves for space with Johnny, then dispatches him to battle a challenger named Karragan. Johnny freaks himself out when he accidentally takes Karragan apart with Sue's power, boosted by the power cosmic. Meanwhile, the rest of the FF regroup and head for space with Quasar to pursue Galactus and Johnny. MADROX #2 (1-6) The night of the day after MADROX 1. Jamie arrives in Chicago, just in time to save an old friend named Stringer, a Chicago Tribune reporter and mind-reading mutant, from being beaten up by a group of thugs. Jamie spends the night at Stringer's place and asks to use the newspaper database in the morning. The waning crescent moon is inconsistent with the waxing crescent moon shown in MADROX 2 (7-22). Saturday, November 1 FANTASTIC FOUR #521 Probably the day after FF 520. As the FF and Quasar near Galactus' ship, Johnny tries in vain to find a green but uninhabited planet for Galactus to eat. Johnny gets Galactus' attention by deducing why he needs heralds. FANTASTIC FOUR #522 The same day as FF 521. Johnny recounts Galactus' origin. When Quasar and the FF arrive, Johnny hatches a plan to stop Galactus from eating a planet. With the help of a gizmo whipped up by Reed, Johnny unleashes his power cosmic at Galactus, causing both Johnny and Galactus to revert to human. DISTRICT X #3 The day after DX 2. Kaufman finds and seizes the toad boy and Zapruder is furious. Absolon Mercator visits Gus in the hospital to let him know that he witnessed the shooting. That night, Jazz pushes Toad Juice at a nightclub and encounters Mr. Mercator. A non-mutant woman suffers a disfiguring death after taking the Toad Juice. There is no sign of there being school for Izzy's kids, but Izzy's wife is a teacher who is grading assignments, so it's probably a weekend day during the school year. It's also a day with mail delivery, so it's likely a Saturday. MADROX #2 (7-22) The day after MADROX 2 (1-6). It is "a couple days" after MADROX 1 and "three days" after the stabbing of the first Jamie duplicate. A newspaper headline reads, "Magneto Alive Again?!?," which may mean that this segment occurs the day after A 503, in which Magneto made a public appearance. Jamie and Stringer head to the archives of the Tribune and look for the May 24th newspaper headline which Jamie remembers from absorbing the dying duplicate's memories. Stringer recognizes the girl pictured in the article as Sheila Desoto, fiancee of millionaire industrialist Edward Vance, who has alleged ties to organized crime. Jamie decides to head to Vance's mansion. Back in New York, mysterious assassin Clay is notified that Madrox is back in Chicago and agrees to hunt him down. At Jamie's detective agency, a woman named Carol Campbell wants the duplicate Jamie to investigate her quadriplegic mutant husband, who she believes is cheating on her via astral projection. In Chicago, Madrox comes upon an outdoor pool outside the Vance mansion, and finds Desoto swimming in it. Sheila gets out and kisses Jamie. Back in New York, Clay shoots the duplicate Jamie and the real Jamie in Chicago cries out in pain and falls into the pool. Green grass and trees in Chicago. The waxing crescent moon is inconsistent with the waning crescent moon shown in MADROX 2 (1-6). MADROX #3 The same night as MADROX 2 (7-22). The Jamie duplicate in New York survived the bullet, which merely grazed his head. Guido tries to nab the assassin Clay, but a disturbed neighbor blows Guido out the building and Clay gets away. Rahne, on a stakeout outside the Campbell apartment, sees Ned Campbell's astral projection leave and she follows. In Chicago, Jamie resurfaces from the Vance pool and faints. Jamie is tossed into a closet in Vance's mansion and Sheila pleads innocence about his presence. Jamie frees himself and overhears Vance speaking on the phone in Russian to someone. Jamie is caught eavesdropping by Clay, who leads Jamie into the room to see Vance. When Jamie pleads ignorance about knowing what Vance was talking about, an evil duplicate of Vance's emerges and says that Jamie knows Russian. Bishop appears in a police car with Izzy, who is in uniform, so this story must occur after DX 2. Green, leafy trees. Waxing crescent moon. MADROX #4 - FB (4-18) The same night as MADROX 3. It is "a few hours" before MADROX 4. Because of Izzy's uniform in DX 3, Bishop must appear here before DX 4. Jamie confronts his evil duplicate, who he realizes he created when his head hit the bottom of the pool. Jamie realizes this duplicate is his self-loathing manifesting itself. Sheila admits to Vance that she married the duplicate Jamie some time back. Vance tells Clay to give the evil duplicate a gun, to kill Jamie but Jamie remembers the memories of his Buddhist monk duplicate and reabsorbs the evil duplicate without having to touch him. He escapes with Sheila and they drive away. Jamie tells her of the death of her husband and Shiela concludes the killer was Clay. Shiela explains that Vance, feeling threatened by rumors of a mystery mutant who's taking down all of Chicago's crime-lords, believed Jamie was this mystery mutant and sought to have him killed. Jamie suspects Stringer being the mystery mutant, so he arranges to meet with Stringer at a newspaper warehouse. In New York, Rahne, follows Ned's astral projection and sees that Ned's having an affair with a man. Ned spots Rahne and his astral projection form battles her. Rahne claws the projection, causing Ned to have a seizure in his bed. Jamie confronts Stringer, who denies he's the mutant trying to take over the crime gangs in Chicago. Just then, a flare gun sets the warehouse up in flames and Jamie and Stringer get separated as they try to flee. Green, leafy trees. Waxing crescent moon. MADROX #4 The same night as MADROX 4-FB. As Jamie searches for Stringer, a piece of burning ceiling falls down on him and the impact creates another duplicate, who flees, leaving Jamie trapped in the debris. Stringer almost makes it to the exit, when he is confronted by Sheila, who turns into a monster and slays Stringer. Clay appears and it becomes clear these two are the ones taking over the crime gangs. Sheila tells Clay to go hunt down Jamie and finish him off. Green, leafy trees. Waxing crescent moon. MADROX #5 (1-8) The same night as MADROX 4. Rahne, Guido, and Jamie's duplicate are back at Jamie's office when Carol Campbell calls to tell them that Ned passed away in his sleep. Rahne blames herself. In Chicago, Clay finds Jamie trapped under the fallen debris. Clay admits he killed Jamie's duplicate on Sheila's orders because the duplicate figured out her plans to control the crime gangs. The duplicate who abandoned the building returns, whacks Clay over the head, and frees Jamie. Jamie discovers that Clay is capable of duplicating himself as well. The floor collapses around them, separating Jamie from Clay. Jamie flees the building, carrying Stringer, who dies in his arms. Green, leafy trees. Waxing crescent moon. GRAVITY #4 (16-23) One night. Greg goes with Frog to a party, where Greg sees Lauren with another guy and leaves. Outside, the Greenwich Guardian calls for Gravity again. Frog reveals the Guardian was soundly defeated by the Jester on the NYU campus a couple years ago. He hadn't been seen since, until recently. Guardian reveals he heard from Black Death. They're meeting him at an abandoned warehouse. While talking, the Guardian puts on the device and reveals it's actually a graviton trap. He suspends Gravity and reveals himself to be Black Death. Green trees in New York. GRAVITY #5 (4-19) The same night as GRAV 4 (16-23). It is the "year" after GRAV 5-FB. Gravity awakens from a reverie still captive of Black Death and now in the middle of the NYU campus. Black Death goes on a tirade while he starts tearing up parts of the campus, using the graviton trap to harness Gravity's powers against his will. Gravity eventually reasserts control and destroys the trap. He and Black Death fight and Gravity wins. Black Death then melts away before Gravity's eyes. After seeing that Gravity needed no help, Spider-Man makes his presence known, then he leaves for a date, presumably with M.J. Green grass and trees in New York. Full moon. Sunday, November 2 GRAVITY #5 (20-21) Probably the morning after GRAV 5 (4-19). As Quasar flies by, Lauren is with a guy at the bakery when she spots Greg. He tells her he's going back home to re-evaluate his plans. She tells him to stay and not give up. Quasar may appear here during the day or two he's in New York between FF 522 and 523. Green trees in New York. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #12 (21:3) One "weekend" day. Zuzha and Major Mapleleaf spend time with family. DISTRICT X #4 The day after DX 3. Bishop and Izzy investigate the nightclub death and learn that they must find the girl's boyfriend, who stole a bag of Toad Juice tablets from Jazz. Izzy learns he's getting a promotion while Gus is let go from the force. Mercator rescues the toad boy from Kaufman's compound and cures him of his mutation. That night, Bishop and Izzy track the Toad Juice thief to a party. Izzy switches from uniform to plain clothes here. It is "thirty years" after DX 4-FB. DISTRICT X #5 (1-3) The same day as DX 4. Bishop and Izzy are too late; a bunch of non-mutant partygoers dies from taking the Toad Juice. Green grass and shrubs in New York AMAZING FANTASY v2 #12/2 - FB (2:2) One day. Inger points to a criminal who is walking out of a door onto the street. Inger has come up with the idea of tracking down wanted criminals to ensure that Nina doesn't kill an innocent person. MADROX #5 (9-21) The day after MADROX 5 (1-8). This segment occurs before XF3 1-FB (14). In New York, Jamie's duplicate, Rahne, and Guido are in the mutant bar with Carol Campbell, helping her cope with the death of her husband. There Carol confronts the man with who Ned had an affair and she sets him and herself on fire. The duplicate puts them out with a fire extinguisher and they call 911. In Chicago, Jamie returns to Vance's place and breaks in on a scene in which Sheila is trying to console Vance, saying Jamie must have used a mutant power to force Jamie into marrying her. Clay stands in the background. Jamie confronts them and, after explaining the truth about Sheila, dupes her into confirming the truth. Vance kills Sheila and Clay and lets Jamie live. Jamie returns to New York on a bus. Late that night, Jamie arrives back in his office and meets back up with his duplicate, Rahne, and Guido. Nobody wants to talk about the disasters their first cases were, but Guido reveals they've renamed Jamie's detective agency "X-Factor Investigations." Green, leafy trees. Waxing crescent moon. Monday, November 3 FANTASTIC FOUR #523 Perhaps a day or two after FF 522. According to FF 525, it is "a few days" after FF 519 and "a little while" before FF 525 (12- 21). According to the FF Handbook, this story occurs before SSBRB 2-FB (13-16). It is a school day (Sister Mary Catherine may be teaching an after-school class given that we see kids out of school earlier in the day). Quasar attunes himself to sense the location of Galactus' essence and takes off. The FF and Alicia teach Galen something about humanity and he exiles himself to another dimension to hide from the essence and save worlds. Then Reed tries to switch Sue's and Johnny's powers back, but the attempt strips the FF of their powers and gives them to four other people. It is snowing in New York, where we see both bare and green trees and people skating outdoors; this is inconsistent with the Halloween setting of FF 517. FANTASTIC FOUR #524 The same day as FF 523. The FF's powers go bouncing from person to person in Manhattan. Reed devises gauntlets that allow his team to regain their powers by touching the people who have them. Reed gives fake gauntlets to Ben and plans to absorb the Thing's power himself to spare Ben further time in monstrous form. Ben catches on and accepts the Thing's power. The team returns home and joyfully responds to a trouble alarm from the Microverse. We see green shrubbery and people wearing coats in New York. DISTRICT X #5 (4-17) The day after DX 5 (1-3).

No sooner do the FF return from the Microverse than they are lured into a trap by Diablo, who insists that Reed let him use the FF's time machine to right some wrongs during the Spanish Inquisition. Diablo gives Reed "two days" to consider and threatens to turn the city to gold if he refuses. GRAVITY #5 (22:1-22:2) One day. Greg is berated by Prof. Busha, but is going to class again, even though he's no longer sitting with Lauren. BLACK WIDOW: THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT HER #1 (1-12) One day, shortly after BW4 6 (9-22). This segment occurs during the "week" before BW5 1 (13-23). In Texas, a man named Mikey urges Jason Williams to exact revenge on the Black Widow for crippling him and killing Jason's dad. At the White House, Nick Fury is called on the carpet for the "retired" Black Widow's assassination of McMasters. Presumably that night in Havana, Natasha (who's "nearly forty") seeks refuge with Yelena Belova (who's "not yet thirty"). Fury visits Daredevil in New York and tells him that Natasha will top the most wanted list "as of tomorrow." Green grass and trees in Washington, DC. Thursday, November 6 FANTASTIC FOUR #525 (12-21) The day after FF 525 (1-11). It is "a little while" after FF 523. It is a mail delivery day.

Dum Dum Dugan gives money to Louis for the tip that Nina Price is a vampire. He then points a gun at Louis and tells him never to tell this story to anyone ever again. ELEKTRA v2 #35 One night. It is supposed to be "three years to the day" after DD 181, but while this may indeed be the anniversary of Elektra's "death," it must be much more than three years after. Elektra and Matt encounter each other at her grave site. Friday, November 7 FANTASTIC FOUR #526 The day after FF 525 (12-21). Reed determines that the dream fever the FF and Alicia are experiencing is something they brought back with them from the Microverse. Afflicted with the fever himself, Diablo uses the Philosopher's Stone to eliminate it. Reed takes the stone and uses it to cure himself and his friends, but Diablo uses the capture of the stone as a way to access the Baxter Building, which he's turned to stone. Diablo mistakes an inter-dimensional transporter for the FF's time machine and inadvertently sends himself to another world. The Baxter Building reverts to normal and Sue talks to Johnny about his dreams. This story probably occurs before M/KSM 11 and HERC 1-FB (7-9). GRAVITY #5 (22:3) One day.

It is "three weeks" after M/KSM 6 (4-22) and is probably more than just "four weeks and five days" after M/KSM 1 (16-23). Given that this storyline culminates in the end of Mac Gargan's career as the Scorpion, this segment must occur after SECWAR 5. Early one morning, Black Cat tells Spidey that Fortunato bought the Venom symbiote for his son Angelo. That day, Angelo receives the symbiote. That night, Peter and M.J. attend Peter's high school reunion (thus I place this segment on a Saturday), where Angelo as Venom attacks Peter. Peter is noted as being in his "twenties," but that can't be right. Full moon. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #8 (1-16:2) The same night as M/KSM 7 (4-21). It is "two days" before M/KSM 8 (22-23).

During the battle, an innocent man dressed as Spidey is killed. SENSATIONAL SPIDER-MAN v2 #38 - FB (3:4) The same night as M/KSM 8 (1-16). Eddie Brock tries unsuccessfully to commit suicide.

Eddie Brock lies on the floor with more blood coming from his slit wrist. Spidey vows to stop Jameson's competition for his true identity. Sunday, November 9 MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #8 (16:5-21) Probably the day after M/KSM 8 (1-16). Because JJJ is a Spidey fan after this segment, I place this segment after ASMU2 10 (5- 11). Peter dupes Jameson into thinking that his son John is Spider-Man and Jameson gives Peter half a million dollars for the information. Peter gives the money to a struggling waitress. THOR v2 #82 (15:2-23) One day, "many days" after T2 82 (14-15). This segment probably occurs after S-H3 8 (18-22). Thor and company, joined by Valkyrie and the one-armed Sif, battle Durok and Fenris Wolf. Durok and Valkyrie fall and Beta Ray Bill - probably here after S-H3 8 - enters the fray. THOR v2 #83 The same day as T2 82 (15-23). Beta Ray Bill slays Fenris Wolf and Loki's hordes flee. Thor appoints Bill king of the Asgardians while he goes to Hildstalf to find Odin's wisdom.

The laws of time in hell may be different, and although Doom's time there may seem to be short, months may have passed since he was trapped there in FF 537-FB (1-4). Ragnarok rends tears in the fabric of hell, from which Doom is able to see the Asgardians' battle, which includes Loki, Balder, and Volstagg. Doom leaps into a tear in the dimensional plane. STORMBREAKER: THE SAGA OF BETA RAY BILL #1 - FB (4-5) The same day as FF 537-FB (5-6). Beta Ray Bill continues to fight alongside the Asgardians.

Monday, November 10 [BTS] One day, probably right after T2 85 (12-24). This event occurs "two years" before T3 4 (3-23).

A Falcon mini-series was supposed to have followed this issue, but it has not been published; Sam is back in A:FINALE, which presumably follows that unpublished series. Green grass and trees and rain in Paris. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #8 (22-23) One night, "two days" after M/KSM 8 (1-16). The man behind the abduction of Aunt May and the reward for Spidey's identity calls Peter and tells him to meet him "for lunch tomorrow." Full moon. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #12/2 (1:3) One night. At a restaurant, Nina tells her waiter her steak is not rare as she ordered. Tuesday, November 11 MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #9 The day after M/KSM 8 (22-23). It may be more than just a "month" after M/KSM 6 (4-22) and "a few weeks" after M/KSM 5. Osborn has "been locked up for two or three months" since PULSE 5 (22). This story must occur before BEYOND 1. Peter meets the mystery man and learns it's Mac Gargan, the Scorpion. Gargan tells Peter he's known his secret identity for "coming up on a year this Christmas." Gargan tells Peter about a large, long-standing super-villain program involving a corporate cabal and tells him Osborn's knowledge of it puts him in danger at prison. Gargan asks Peter to break Osborn out of prison "tomorrow at midnight," before Doc Ock has a chance to kill him "this weekend." A student shows up at Peter's for help with a paper "due tomorrow." Gargan returns to his place, only to encounter the Venom symbiote. Bare trees in New York. People are wearing jackets and it's cold enough to see people's breaths, but a bistro is still serving patrons lunch outdoors. MYSTIQUE #20 (7-8) One day, "more than three weeks" after MYS 20 (1-6). Xavier has Forge and Mystique abandon a mission in Tokyo to come to Genosha. GRAVITY #5 (22:4) One day. Greg plays video games with Frog. BLACK WIDOW: THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT HER #1 (13-23) One day during the "week" after BW5 1 (1-12). After a visit with a psychiatrist, Martin Ferris is given a proposition by Kestrel. Yelena, who hasn't even fired a gun in "years," sends Natasha on a mission to go back to Florida to free up the black market supply of medical supplies for Cuban prostitutes suffering from AIDS. Presumably that night, Natasha and a squad of Cuban special forces raids the black market warehouse. There she finds a shipment of Gynacon Medusagen and discovers that it came from a place near Miami Beach. The black market guys are killed and the special forces head back to Cuba with the medicine, while Natasha elects to remain in Florida "for a few days" to investigate. Meanwhile, Kestrel and Ferris are on the lookout for Black Widow. Green grass and autumn and bare trees. Wednesday, November 12 MYSTIQUE #20 (9-10) Probably the day after MYS 20 (7-8). Forge and Mystique meet Xavier and Callisto in Genosha. Xavier sends them on a mission to Monte Carlo to find the missing Shortpack. ALPHA FLIGHT v3 #12 (21:4) One day. The Plodex child spends time in the sea with Namor. BLACK WIDOW: THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT HER #2 (3-7) The day after BW5 1 (13-23). It is "two weeks" and the "month" after BW4 6 (9-22),"a week and a half" before BW5 2 (12), and "three, four weeks" before BW5 (18-22). Natasha breaks into the doctor's house and gets the doctor to confess to operating on Sally Anne. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #10 (1-10) The rainy night of the day after M/KSM 9. Felicia suggests that it's been "three months" since M/KSM 1 (1-15) but it may be only two months (three months inclusive). Despite M.J.'s objections, Spidey and Black Cat go to Ryker's to break Osborn out of prison, where the Rhino has been for at least a "week," perhaps following his capture in ASMU2 10 (5-11). I presume that Rhino is released from Ryker's after this and appears next in ASMU2 13, a story in which it appears he has no outstanding warrants. Thursday, November 13 MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #10 (11-23) The early morning after M/KSM 10 (1-10). At "ninety seconds" after midnight, Spidey and Black Cat spring Osborn and the three escape, but the heroes are double-crossed by Osborn and ambushed by the Sinister Twelve, including Scorpion/Venom. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #11 The same early morning as M/KSM 10 (11-23). According to Tom Brevoort, this story is intended to occur after A 503; the Wasp must appear here after her recovery from Disassembled, and since the FF are also here, this story must occur after FF 526 because of the Thing's remarks in FF 517. The Wasp is probably here shortly before PPTSS2 20, following the travel abroad mentioned in A:FINALE. As the villains gang up on Spidey, the Goblin goes off to kill M.J. Cap, Iron Man, Yellowjacket, Wasp, FF, and Daredevil (here after DD2 60) show up and relieve Spidey, who hastens to save M.J. After getting waylaid by Scorpion/Venom, Spidey encounters the Goblin with the unconscious M.J. on a bridge. Full moon. MARVEL KNIGHTS SPIDER-MAN #12 (1-18) The same rainy morning as M/KSM 11. It is a "few months" after M/KSM 1 and "two entire months" after M/KSM 5. Spidey and the Goblin fight, M.J. shoots Norman, and Spidey saves M.J. from a fall off the bridge. Doc Ock attacks Norman and they both fall off the bridge. Spidey deduces where Aunt May is and digs her out of a grave, where Norman has kept her alive and anesthetized. After sunrise, Captain America fishes the surviving Doc Ock out of the river; Norman is not found. Spidey visits Black Cat in the hospital. GRAVITY #5 (22:5) One day. Greg visits the still-hospitalized woman he saved in GRAV 1. BLACK WIDOW: THE THINGS THEY SAY ABOUT HER #2 (8:1-8:3) One day. Matt Murdock listens to an audio tape Natasha sent to him in the mail. Natasha's message states that she's taken up fighting crime (to get to Sally Anne). MYSTIQUE #20 (11-22) Probably the night of the day after MYS 20 (9-10). Mystique runs into Shepard while looking for Shortpack at a Monte Carlo casino. Then, Forge and Mystique encounter Fantomex, who tells them that Shortpack has gone after Steinbeck. Mystique runs off and Xavier has Forge cut the scrambler that shields Mystique from detection by her enemies. Shortpack is held captive by Shepard and the Quiet Man, who reveals himself to be Steinbeck. Waning crescent moon. AMAZING FANTASY v2 #12/2 (1:4) One night. Vampire Nina Price kills a criminal and drinks his blood. Friday, November 14 FRANKLIN RICHARDS: HAPPY FRANKSGIVING! #1 One day, sometime before FR:MM 1/4. Reed and Sue decide to give Franklin a present because he's been so well-behaved lately. Although Franklin was hoping for a dog, it turns out to be a hamster and Franklin's disappointed. "Later" in his lab, Reed talks with the mayor about his "instant reconstructor." HERBIE finds Franklin about to use Reed's transmutanator on the hamster to turn him into dog, but the settings aren't right and the hamster grows to enormous size. HERBIE captures the monster hamster in a force field and sends it to the roof where it won't damage Reed's lab. By the time HERBIE and Franklin reach the roof, the hamster has burst out of the force field and is now wreaking havoc through the city. HERBIE steals the instant reconstructor out from under Reed's nose, zaps the hamster wheel and provides it, skyscraper-size, to the monster hamster, who happily starts running in it. "Soon" Reed comes up to the roof looking for his instant reconstructor only to find HERBIE and Franklin playing with the returned-to-normal-size hamster. MYSTIQUE #21 The day after MYS 20 (11-22). Xavier has Forge follow up on finding Shortpack in Monte Carlo. In Cannes, Fantomex learns of Mystique's mission for Shepard and in return for his silence he has Mystique go to the Virgin Islands to steal a discarded Spider-Man costume from a man who bought it online. To ensure Fantomex's silence, Mystique stabs him, infects him with a techno-organic virus, and dumps him into the ocean. With her scrambler now shut off, Mystique is found by U.S. authorities. MYSTIQUE #22 The same night as MYS 21. Steinbeck reveals his motives to Shortpack. Mystique escapes the authorities and is rescued by Shepard, who orders her to go to Genosha and kill Xavier "tonight" or Shortpack will be killed. Mystique teleports to Genosha and, posing as Prudence, wakes Xavier. The full moon conflicts with the waning crescent moon shown in MYS 20 (11-22). MYSTIQUE #23 |
