![]() YEAR 23 Thursday, January 1: New Year's Day PUNISHER: RED XMAS #1 (20-33) The morning after PRX 1 (8-19). At "24 minutes after midnight," Suspiria arrives at Frank's apartment and they fight. Punisher wins and binds and interrogates Suspiria. That morning, Suspiria's body is dropped on Regina's car. She calls a meeting with the other wives and the Punisher shows up and kills Regina. He tells the rest that they have 24 hours to get out of the country, but they have to make a donation to Santa Claus first. Friday, January 2 PUNISHER: RED XMAS #1 (34) The snowy day after PRX 1 (20-33). Dressed as Santa Claus, the Punisher collects the money from the departing wives. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #12 - FB (17:4-18) One day, shortly before M/TU3 4 (19-20). Titannus arrives on earth. Saturday, January 3 WOLVERINE: SOULTAKER #5 (24) One day, a "few days" after W:S 5 (1-23). Given the reference to Sunfire and Silver Samurai in W:S 1, this segment must occur before ROGUE3 7 (1-12). While Wolverine, Yukio, Amiko, and Mana eat, Mana reveals that Amiko is her descendant and offers to train Amiko. It is "Girl's Day," March 3, but this reference may be topical. [BTS] One day, probably two or three days before X:KPSF 1 (1). Puff is photographed by her abductors. Sunday, January 4 MARVEL HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2004 #1/3 On the snowy night before Franklin's holiday school break ends, Franklin gets Herbie to type up his school report about how he and his family celebrate the holidays. Monday, January 5 X-MEN: KITTY PRYDE - SHADOW & FLAME #1 (1) One day. At the Xavier Institute, Scott gives Kitty a letter from Japan. It turns out to be a ransom note, with a photograph of Puff, Lockheed's ex-girlfriend. Green grass and trees at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #7 One school day, sometime after X 161, since Sammy's death and the Brotherhood's attack are mentioned. David's kid sister, mutant wannabe Kim, visits the school. Rahne and Josh share a kiss. Noriko calls home only to be rebuffed. The New Mutants train the Danger Room. Weird things happen at Xavier's and Kim believes she's a mutant who can talk to the suspected ghost responsible. Jay's statement, "after Sammy died," and Shan's statement, "We lost some rare first editions when the school was ... attacked," indicate that this issue occurs after UX 164. Gambit is teaching a projectile class, so his sight is back - that places this issue after X 165 (9-24) and quite likely after school reconvenes following the Christmas break in M/HOL'04 1/2. Appearing as teachers in this issue are Gambit (whose sight must be back, since he's teaching a projectile class), Nightcrawler (in new costume, teaching dramatic class), and Beast (who, in civilian clothes, gives out a science assignment "for next week"). "It's freezing" and jackets are worn by some at the Institute. Kim must have a school vacation - perhaps a prolonged holiday/winter break? Green grass and autumn leaves at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #8 (1-14) The same day as NX 7. After the Danger Room mysteriously turns on, the New Mutants are convinced that a ghost is at the Institute. Cyclops suspects Julian to be the culprit. Josh and Kevin get into an argument. Cyclops and Emma are here in Reload costumes and Beast is in civilian clothes. Jacket weather at Xavier's. Both bare and leafy trees (in silhouette) are seen at Xavier's. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #1 - FB One school day. This flashback must occur after ASTONX3 6 (20-23). Given X-23's appearance in M/TU3 5-6, this storyline must occur after UX 454 and probably after X 165 (9-24). A mutant boy, Paul Patterson, manifests his powers in Peter's high school. Wolverine (sent by Scott) attacks and Spidey webs him up. We see trees with green and autumn leaves. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #1 The same day as M/TU3 1-FB. Logan escapes from Spidey's web while the mutant boy leads Spidey to his home, where Spidey finds a corpse. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #2 (1-18) The same night as M/TU3 1. Referring to Wolverine and Spider-Man, Patterson notes, "so this is what we're left with after the Avengers disbanded"; this places this story after A:FINALE and before the New Avengers are public. Logan is still complaining about his costume: "Friggin' Cyclops and his friggin' new costumes. 'We have to astonish them.' Give me a break." Spidey remarks that Logan is "on so many teams" (this was written as a reference to his being on the Avengers, but it can't work that way; Spidey must know about Logan's being on all the X-Men teams somehow). Logan catches up with Spidey at Patterson's home and the two defeat the threat, causing an explosion. Logan calls SHIELD in to wrap up. Someone resembling Dr. Doom materializes in Latveria. We see green trees and a full moon. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #3 (1-3) The same night as M/TU3 2 (1-18). Dr. Strange detects the entry of "Dr. Doom" into his plane of existence. Full moon. Tuesday, January 6 MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #2 (19-23) The day after M/TU3 2 (1-18). Logan returns to the Institute, where he sees Jubilee leaving to move to L.A., which places this segment before JUB 1. A sleepy Peter Parker reports to work at school. Jubilee notes that Logan has "been away from the mansion these last few weeks" - perhaps since X 165. Green trees in New York and autumn colors at Westchester. JUBILEE #1 (1-4) It must be the same day as M/TU3 2 (19-23). Jubilee arrives in L.A. to live with her Aunt Hope. Green grass and trees in L.A. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #3 (4-21) The day after M/TU3 3 (1-3). The FF live in the Baxter Building, and Johnny has a date (a gallery opening) with Kourtney "tonight," so it may be between FOUR 12 and FOUR 13 (6-11). He and Ben get in a fight over a practical joke, then "Dr. Doom" shows up and battles the FF. Realizing that something is amiss, "Dr. Doom" leaves, then Dr. Strange arrives and leads the team to where "Dr. Doom" is. After another skirmish, "Dr. Doom" reveals himself to be an alternate universe Tony Stark. Patterson materializes in upstate New York, where Hulk is. Moon Knight and Hulk cameo. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #4 (1-18) The same day as M/TU3 3 (4-21). It's a mail delivery day. The alternate Stark robs the FF of their powers and leaves after Strange shows up. Johnny ends up in the hospital with a broken collarbone. The alternate Stark goes to Stark Enterprises to seek a power source and, detecting Patterson, jets upstate and saves the boy from the Hulk. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #8 (15-22) The day after NX 8 (1-14). Emma suggests that Kevin see a therapist. Laurie and Josh go to have dinner with her mom. Suspecting that the ghost is a student who died in "Magneto's" attack, Kim and the other New Mutants try to find clues in a nearby cemetery. There they encounter a specter of a boy who teleports them away. It is a school day at Xavier's. "It's freezing" and jackets are worn at the Institute. Bare trees and green grass and brush at Westchester. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #9 (1-9) The same day as NX 8 (15-22). The kids return to the cemetery, where they are found by Dani and Shan. Dani tells the group that the ghost is Jeffrey Garrett. Laurie and Josh end their date and Rahne breaks things off with Josh. Green trees at Westchester. Full moon. X-MEN UNLIMITED v2 #8 (8:4) One day. Warren Worthington visits disabled children. X-MEN: KITTY PRYDE - SHADOW & FLAME #1 (2-14) The day after X:KPSF 1 (1). This segment occurs "just" after Logan returns to the Institute from W:S 5 (24); I have Logan's return in M/TU3 2 (9-23). At the airport outside Tokyo, Kitty meets Ryoko from the Japanese Department of Supernatural Sciences and they go to their headquarters. It's revealed that a ninja group called the Path of Destiny stole Puff from the LDSS and sent the note. Kitty goes to her hotel room, sends an e-mail to Wolverine and tries to call Yukio, but no one answers. She decides to hit the town. Green grass and trees in Tokyo. Wednesday, January 7 MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #4 (19-20) The early morning after M/TU3 4 (1-18). This segment occurs after M/TU3 12-FB (7-8). Titannus observes everything and is interrupted by Sunfire. We see snow flurries in the air and accumulation on bare treetops in New York. JUBILEE #1 (5-13) The day after JUB 1 (1-4). On Jubilee's first day at her new school, she meets a nerd named Meg Devereux and they go the mall afterward. There, Jubilee attracts the attention of popular guy Dale Spangler and his jealous girlfriend Missy Lopez. Jubilee is introduced as "a new student" to the rest of her class, meaning that the school year has already started at Payton-Noble High. Green trees in L.A. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #5 The same day as M/TU3 4 (19-20). This story must occur after UX 454 and probably after X 165 (9-24). Sunfire battles Titannus and Spidey battles Cardiac at dawn of a school day. Storm catches X-23 watching security monitors at the Institute and notices a blip worth investigating. Sue insists that Reed get some sleep after being up all night. Peter Parker reports to work late and he gets a phone call at school from Patterson, who is held captive by the alternate Stark. Parker has Reed trace the call and he heads to Stark's place, only to run into X-23. The two fight and are caught by the alternate Stark. Cyclops is seen in a "third fitting" for his Reload costume. Johnny is noted as being released from the hospital. Green trees in New York. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #6 The same day as M/TU3 5. This story occurs between CA5 32 and FOES 4 (6-21). According to the X-Men Handbook, this segment occurs before UX 455 (5-15). Fury is probably here before the Enemy of the State storyline. Spidey calls Cap "Steve" and refers to himself as "a fellow Avenger" - this may be a reference to Spidey's previous stint as an Avenger, not as a New Avenger. "It's been a while" since Cap last saw Natasha, which was probably in A 503. Cap sees Nick Fury and Black Widow aboard the Helicarrier and they discuss the Diamondback LMD. As Spidey and X-23 battle the alternate Stark, the energy signature from the ersatz Stark's work is picked up by SHIELD and Reed Richards notes the threat. Cap and Natasha join Spidey and X-23 in battling the alternate Stark (apparently from an alternate future), who notes an upcoming "Titannus War." Patterson explodes and winds up in Canada with the Wendigo. SHIELD captures the ersatz Stark and Dr. Strange makes note of it. Titannus leaves the fallen Sunfire. Full moon. MARVEL TEAM-UP v3 #7 (1-2) The same night as M/TU3 6. Titannus returns to his ship and his beloved, Amissa, who is in stasis. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #9 (10-20) The day after NX 9 (1-9). David and Noriko have a talk, Dani and Josh have a talk, and Emma takes Kevin to a psychiatrist to have a talk. "That night," the New Mutants hold a seance and call forth Jeffrey, who tells his tale and repents. This story is supposed to occur during the semester before NX 10, since in that issue Kevin notes that Josh and Laurie "started dating" "last semester," but since this storyline must occur after Christmas break, Kevin may have meant "last term." Dani still thinks that it was Magneto that destroyed the Institute in NX 9-FB. Kim Alleyne is "fourteen" It is a school day at Xavier's. Green grass and trees at Westchester. X-MEN: KITTY PRYDE - SHADOW & FLAME #1 (15-24) The day after X:KPSF 1 (12-14). Kitty is attacked by four thugs in Tokyo. She beats them up, and Lockheed arrives and stops them from attacking again. The thugs go to a nearby bar, where they meet the ninja who hired them. After killing the thugs, the ninja talks on the phone with Nao. Green grass and trees in Japan. X-MEN: KITTY PRYDE - SHADOW & FLAME #2 The same day as X:KPSF 1 (15-24). At JDSS headquarters, Ryoko talks to her boss, Miyashiro. Kitty is woken from a dream by a phone call and goes to the Tokyo Tower, where she's attacked by ninjas. All escape but one, who kills himself.

At the Clan Yashida compound, Kitty asks Keniuchio to borrow his sword and challenges him to a duel. Kitty wins, but she had to "kill" him to do it. In the underground lair of the Path of Destiny, Nao is informed of the Silver Samurai's "death," then plans to betray Kitty. X-MEN: KITTY PRYDE - SHADOW & FLAME #5 The same day as X:KPSF 4. This story must occur before ROGUE3 7 (1-12) and perhaps before A4 1. In the underground lair of the Path of Destiny, Lockheed wakes up and plays with Puff while Nao prepares for Kitty's return, but she's already there disguised as a ninja. They decide to trade the dragons for the Silver Samurai's sword, but Kitty shows up again. The first Kitty is revealed as Ryoko in disguise by an image inducer. Nao is pissed, then the Silver Samurai shows up alive. This really pisses Nao off, so she starts a big fight. Nao eventually escapes and the Path of Destiny ninjas are captured. Silver Samurai gets his sword back and the dragons are freed. Later, Kitty gives the sword the Path of Destiny had to the JDSS. They give her some plane tickets and she heads back to the states.

Green trees in L.A. X-MEN v2 #166 - FB (14:1-14:2) One day, probably shortly before X 166. A mutant woman gets into an argument with Butterfly-Bore at the mutant settlement at the South Pole. Friday, January 9 JUBILEE #2 (1-11) The day after JUB 1 (14-23). The reference to "school tomorrow" is a joke. On a school day, kids pick on Meg and Dale tells Jubilee that he and Missy broke up. That night, Aunt Hope gives Jubilee at moped. My guess is that this is the Monday following JUB 1 (14-23). It is indeed "not 24 hours" before JUB 2 (15-22). Green trees in L.A. FOUR #13 (1-5) One day, after FOUR 14-FB (2:3-2:4). It is "four days" before FOUR 13 (6-11). Philip Masters greets Alicia after an eye transplant restores her sight.

It is "two months" before AAF2 14/2 (3-8). Cinglet and Xennon pull the cryogenic tube onto their spaceship and examine it further. Their ship's computer quickly translates the writing found in the ancient vessel, and they read it to find that the figure placed in the cryogenic tube was placed there as punishment for a crime. Just then, some sort of energy/meteor shower sweeps through the region, striking Cinglet and Xennon's spaceship. Tuesday, January 13 FOUR #13 (6-11) One day, "four days" after FOUR 13 (1-5). It is "two months" after FOUR 12 and thus at least two months before FOES 1. Kourtney is planning to move to L.A., so she likely appears here after M/HOL '04 1/3 (9:3-9:5) and M/TU3 3 (4-21), and after this Johnny probably dates Sabrina, as noted in W2 22. "It's been years since [Ben] and Alicia dated officially." The FF host a "Welcome Back" reception to announce that "after a year of retrenchment...the Fantastic Four's corporate, philanthropic, and educational divisions are back in business." Reed notes that "it's been a trying, confusing 12 months for Fantastic Enterprises"; this reference may be to the previous calendar year, much of which was marked by the Latveria debacle and the embezzlement. Despite the business relaunch, the FF will continue to struggle to get ahead, as noted in FF 527. Reed also notes that he has "an expedition scheduled for later this month" (which is seen in pages 15-16). Sue has put teaching on hold while getting business affairs back in order, but she hopes to return to it. Cap and Iron Man appear. Alicia's body rejects her new eyes and Philip Masters tells the surgeon he's blackmailing to proceed with another operation "tomorrow." We see green trees and roses in bloom, but they may be topical or may be interpreted as being in an indoor nursery. NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #10 One day. Logan must appear here before W3 20 (2:3-2:4). It is a school day at the Xavier Institute. It's the first day of an elective class on leadership and tactics taught by Cyclops.

NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #11 The same day as NX 10. Thanks to the vision shown to him by Dani and Emma, David understands his mental block and chooses to keep it.

The Blazing Skull notes that he "spent the last decade in a Saudi prison camp." A dead, captive Pterorist sends a signal that brings the Pterorists to the presumably cloaked ship. The horde is led by the Axis Mundi. NEW INVADERS #3 The same day as IN3 2. The Invaders battle the Pterorists and the Axis Mundi around "11:17" Yemen time.

This story occurs shortly after CA5 8-FB (12:3), a "week" after CA5 1-FB (12-18), "months" after CA4 32, and "five years" after CA5 1-FB (1-5). The intelligence community reports on the Skull's presumed death in this issue "nearly a year" before CA5 21 (18-22). We see an old Daily Bugle headline announcing the disbanding of the Avengers, so this story must occur after A:FINALE. Sharon Carter checks in on Cap, who notes that "it's just been a rough couple of months" - probably references to A 500-503 and A:FINALE. Steve has a new place to live, shielded by a hologram.

Monday, January 19: Martin Luther King Day JUBILEE #3 (4-13) The day after JUB 3 (1-3). On a school day that must be Monday, Dale tells Jubilee and Meg about a fund-raising dance he's hosting and says that he and Missy broke up again. Later that day, Jubilee counsels Charlie, who wishes he could stay out of the gang but feels he has no options. That night, she returns a phone call from Logan, but he's too busy to talk; he's fighting ninjas (perhaps a failed attempt by the Hand to kidnap Logan prior to their success in W3 20). CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #6 (2-21) The day after CA5 6 (1). It is the "week" before CA5 9-FB (4-6) and CA5 9. It is "not a month" (i.e. less than a month) before CA5 12. SHIELD agent Neal Tapper expresses concern to Fury about Sharon, who "hasn't reported in for over twenty-four hours." Cap explores an abandoned Nazi castle in the English Channel and experiences more confusing memories. Mysteriously sensing Sharon to be in danger, he jets to Philadelphia, where he frees Sharon in a set-up. Sharon tells Cap that she suspects her assailant and the Skull's killer to be Bucky. The mystery assassin detonates a bomb nearby, which fully charges the cosmic cube in Lukin's possession. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #8 - FB (4-9) The same night as CA5 6 (2-21). Cap and Sharon try to save lives in the aftermath of the explosion. Cap encounters AIM soldiers trying to retrieve their technology from the ruins and faces their Modoc Squad.

Tuesday, January 20 JUBILEE #3 (14-17) The day after JUB 3 (4-13). It must be more than just "two days" after JUB 2 (15-22). After school on a day that must be Tuesday, Shane tries to intimidate Jubilee into stopping counseling Charlie. That night, Jubilee checks in on a convalescing Aunt Hope. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #8 The day after CA5 8-FB (13-16). It is a "week" after CA5 8-FB (12:3). Aboard the Helicarrier, Fury tells Sharon of Tapper's death and briefs Cap on the Winter Soldier, a KGB secret weapon who has spent decades in suspended animation except for times he'd be needed as an assassin. Fury believes him to be Bucky. Identifying Lukin as the prime suspect behind the bombing, Fury assigns Cap and Sharon to a strike force to take him down. SABRETOOTH v2 #1 One day, "several weeks" after Sabretooth's last appearance, which I interpret as being X 164, with Creed having survived Logan's attack. This story may occur after AF3 12. The Coast Guard ice cutter Polar Sun receives a distress call from the isolated Isle Dupree - a woman claims a monster is loose on the island, and is killed while on the radio. The cutter heads for the island, where Sabretooth stands over the woman's body. He writes "Leave or Die" on the outside of the house, and stalks off. When the Coast Guard arrive, they find massacred men everywhere, and follow some chimney smoke to a cabin where two boys are locked in the basement. Hamilton, the landing party leader, descends to help the boys and the rest of the men are attacked and killed by Sabretooth. Back at the dock, Sasquatch arrives to offer assistance. We see snow around Lake Superior. It is "winter," "January 20th." SABRETOOTH v2 #2 The same day as SABRE2 1. Sasquatch orders the Coast Guard men to stay aboard their ship and begins searching the island. He is attacked by Sabretooth and, as they battle, Sasquatch falls into a pit set up by Sabretooth. Meanwhile, the Coast Guard get fed up waiting, and another landing party goes to retrieve the first. This landing party is quickly dispatched by a looming, shadowy creature, and later, back at the cabin, a shadowy creature approaches the front door. We see a blizzard on Lake Superior. SABRETOOTH v2 #3 (1-15) The same day as SABRE2 2. Hamilton machine-guns the creature at the front door, who is revealed to be a badly injured Sasquatch. Smitty, the only survivor of the second landing party, makes his way back to the ship as Sabretooth watches and grins. Back at the ship, the remaining Coast Guard men are attacked and massacred, and Smitty hears the battle from the dock. As Sabretooth surveys the carnage and leaves the ship, he finds Smitty's corpse in the snow; he shot himself. FOUR #13 (12-14) One night, "three days" after Alicia's bandage from her second operation is removed. Ben tries to call Alicia. Alicia's body rejects the second pair of transplanted eyes and the surgeon tells Philip that more resilient eyes are needed. Full moon. Wednesday, January 21 JUBILEE #3 (18-22) The morning after JUB 3 (14-17). On a school day that must be Wednesday, Shane again confronts Jubilee again, who tells him about Charlie's good grades and desire to go to college. At school, Dale reschedules the dance for the following week, and that night, Shane lets Charlie out of his gang, but not before revealing his mutant powers. SABRETOOTH v2 #3 (16-20) The morning after SABRE2 3 (1-15). As Hamilton stitches Sasquatch's wounds, Sasquatch explains that he's alone and has been tracking Sabretooth for several weeks. Hamilton believes that Sabretooth is hunting the men of Isle Dupree, but Sasquatch reveals that Sabretooth is only after one creature, the Wendigo. SABRETOOTH v2 #4 The same day as SABRE2 3 (16-20). Wendigo attacks the cabin, and Sasquatch (whose "enhanced metabolism" has healed most of his wounds) attacks him, driving them both out into the storm. Sabretooth shows up at the cabin and explains that he's been hunting and terrorizing the Wendigo for weeks, driving him far from his natural habitat. It's the Wendigo who's been attacking and killing the islanders and the Coast Guard out of instinct and self-preservation. Sasquatch makes an impassioned plea to Wendigo to let him help get him home, but Wendigo mauls Sasquatch savagely. As Wendigo sees a second ship approaching across the lake, Sabretooth finds and attacks him and the two plunge off a cliff and through the ice. They sink through the freezing water, still fighting. Later, back at the cabin, Sabretooth shows up and tells Hamilton that it's all over and walks off wearing a crude coat made of the Wendigo's skin. Full moon. FOUR #13 (15-17) Probably the day after FOUR 13 (12-14). It is later in the month of FOUR 13 (6-11). Reed, Ben, and Johnny leave on an expedition to another dimension while Sue stays home to take "Franklin to soccer practice" among other things, but Sue is kidding. Daredevil finds a corpse in the Hudson whose eyes have been cut out. Thursday, January 22 NEW X-MEN: ACADEMY X #12 One day, shortly after NX 11 and shortly before NX 13. This story probably occurs before W3 21 (14-23). The New Mutants score a win in a field day mission that resembles a mission from David's dream in NX 10-11. David avoids Noriko for the "third time this week." When Josh kisses Laurie on the cheek, Kevin tells Emma about Josh's tryst with Rahne. The news causes Dani to be enraged at Rahne and she has a talk with Josh. Shamed, Rahne leaves the Institute. Brokenhearted, Laurie drives Josh away with her fear pheromones and rebels against her mother. Emma and Scott ask Sean Garrison to be the Institute's guidance counselor and he agrees to join, not "this semester," but "at the start of the new school year." Green grass and trees at Westchester. FOUR #13 (18-22) The day after FOUR 13 (15-17). It is a day in which Franklin has homework to do. Possessed by the Puppet Master, Sue leaves her kids at the Baxter Building and heads to Masters' place while Alicia undergoes a third operation. The narration mentions that "a hunter's moon" is out. FOUR #14 (1-21:3) The same night as FOUR 13 (18-22). It is "a month" after FOUR 14-FB (2:3-2:4). Alicia finds Sue and, deducing her father's scheme, tries to save Sue, who explains that Puppet Master has been driven insane by years of exposure to his radioactive clay. Alicia defeats her father by fashioning a doll of him and crushing its hands; the doctor notes that "it will take months" for Masters to regain the use of his hands, so this segment must occur "months" before FOES 1. Daredevil cameos. The full moon shown here is probably the one after that shown in FOUR 14-FB (2:1-2:2). Friday, January 23 FOUR #14 (21:4-22) The day after FOUR 14 (1-21). The Thing checks up on Alicia, whose latest eyes will give out soon. SHE-HULK v4 #13 - FB (16:4-17:1) One day, shortly after S-H4 13-FB (16:2-16:3). This flashback probably occurs before S-H4 6-FB (1:1). Seductra subdues Starfox with a potion and takes him to the Thanos dupe, who carries out Thanos' plan to give Eros and himself false memories of Eros influencing Thanos' decision to revere Death. Starfox is back in his classic costume. Saturday, January 24 UNCANNY X-MEN #457 (17-22) One day, "days" after UX 457 (1-16). The Hauk'ka release Kurt and Bishop to hunt them for sport. They encounter Psylocke and X-23, who introduce them to their new allies, Ka-Zar and the Savage Land Mutates. UNCANNY X-MEN #458 The same day as UX 457 (17-22). As Ka-Zar and the Mutates battle the Hauk'ka, Psylocke uses her teke knife to restore Bishop's and Nightcrawler's powers. The X-Men retreat. The mutating Rachel uses her power on Storm to trigger some nasty weather. UNCANNY X-MEN #459 The same day as UX 458. Storm causes global hyperstorms that cause blizzards everywhere, including the Xavier Institute, where the Astonishing team, Havok (still with his cowl), and Iceman monitor the situation. Brainchild offers to help stop Storm and tricks the heroes into letting him take control before X-23 decks him. Storm and Rachel themselves synch up to stop the hyperstorms. The Hauk'ka realize their mistake and make peace with the X-Men and the people of the Savage Land. The X- Men may remain in the Savage Land for some time after this. Sunday, January 25 NEW WARRIORS v3 #3 - FB (16:1) One day. As shown in a newspaper, Zachary Smith's experiments only work for himself; his unspoilable yogurt went bad as soon as it left his presence and proves deadly in an independent study. Taylor stock plummets. THUNDERBOLTS #101 - FB (3:3-4, 5:6-6, 9-10:2, 13, 16, 19:4-19:5) One day (in real time). These flashbacks occur after A/TB 6 (23), shortly before TB2 1, and "several months" before TB 101. Zemo invites Melissa from ESU to a Manhattan apartment that exists outside of time, created by the alien gems Zemo took from Moonstone. They spend time in this timeless place and Zemo appears to earn Melissa's trust and love. She notes that Abe invited her to join a team of Thunderbolts he's re-forming and that she declined, but Zemo urges her to accept when he asks again. Green trees in New York. Monday, January 26 CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #9 - FB (8-9) One night. Fury tells Steve he can't get clearance for the op against Lukin and that the authorities consider Jack Monroe to be the prime suspect in the Red Skull's murder and the Philly bombing. Fury proposes an unofficial attack on Lukin's corporate nation in Asia "in two days." Steve requests that Sharon not be assigned to the mission because of Tapper's death. We see coats and jackets in New York. Tuesday, January 27 CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #9 - FB (4-6) The day after CA5 9-FB (8-9). CA5 6 (2-21) is referred to as having occurred "last week." Sharon argues with Steve about going on the mission "tomorrow" and about Bucky being the Winter Soldier. Green trees and light clothing in New York. JUBILEE #4 (1-5) One day, "a couple of days" before JUB 4 (20-22). Aunt Hope confirms that Jubilee can attend the dance. Wednesday, January 28 JUBILEE #4 (6-19) It must be the day after JUB 4 (1-5). It must be more than just "a few weeks" after RUN 17. At school, Missy catches Dale flirting with another girl. Jubilee learns that Miss Kingsley's car has been stolen, and asks Shane for help tracking it down. The two get into a gang shootout and reveal their mutant powers to each other, but have no luck returning the car. Meanwhile, Aunt Hope and Brad wreak vengeance on a mysterious criminal organization. Later, Hope decides to look into the missing car. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #9 The night of the day after CA5 9-FB (4-6). CA5 6 (2-21) is referred to as having occurred "last week." It is "two weeks" before CA5 15. Crossbones breaks into a secret government re-education facility and liberates a brainwashed prisoner - Synthia Schmidt, daughter of the Red Skull. Meanwhile, Cap, Sharon, Nick, and a special ops team launch their attack on Lukin's Asian nation (where it is daytime). The team encounters Lukin dealing with U.S. government officials and when the team cannot justify their attack with concrete evidence about Lukin's schemes, the mission is scrubbed. Cap is furious. Thursday, January 29 JUBILEE #4 (20-22) The day after JUB 4 (6-19). It is "a couple of days" after JUB 4 (1-5). Jubilee arrives at school to see the car returned, and when she bursts into Miss Kingsley's office to tell her, she finds her kissing the principal. Meanwhile, Aunt Hope and Brad suit up for an all-out assault. JUBILEE #5 The same day as JUB 4 (20-22). Jubilee trades her silence about Principal Avery's and Miss Kingsley's fling for her release from the peer counselor program. Shane asks her to the dance that night and she accepts, but when the time comes, they both decide that the dance is lame, and go hang out on their own. At the dance (which I interpret as a year-end prom), Dale, single again, asks Meg to dance. Meanwhile, Aunt Hope and Brad carve a bloody swath through a mysterious criminal organization. That night, Jubilee brings Shane back to Aunt Hope's mansion, and just as they're about to kiss, the doorbell rings; it's Wolverine. The Christmas decorations at the mall must be topical. JUBILEE #6 (1-16) The same day as JUB 5. Jubilee introduces Shane and Logan tells him to keep his hands to himself. As Shane goes to leave, Brad bursts through the door and Jubilee demands an explanation. He tells her Hope was an assassin who was retiring, that she got tricked into a one more job "last week," and that they'd gone to tell her boss that she was out for good. He explains how they split up a hail of gunfire breaks the windows. Wolverine attacks a horde of henchmen in suits and bulletproof vests. Hope crashes through a wall on a motorbike, bringing more goons with her. Hope tells Jubilee that Jubilee's parents had disowned Hope over her career choice, and that's why they never told Jubilee about her. Brad is shot. Hope flirts with Wolverine as they both fight goons, then she gets scratched by a bullet. The shooter offers Hope the chance to stand down and come back. Hope agrees to negotiate only after the others are safely away. Logan, Jubilee, Brad, and Shane leave. Wolverine tells Jubilee and Shane to get Brad to a hospital, then he doubles back to try to get Hope, but the house blows up. Waning crescent moon. Friday, January 30 JUBILEE #6 (17-22) The day after JUB 6 (1-16). A school day. Probably after midnight, Jubilee cries amid the wreckage and at Brad's hospital bedside, where a policeman tells her they've found no sign of Hope. "The next morning," Jubilee and Logan leave Shane, Meg, and Dale and return to the Institute. A jogger discovers Aunt Hope behind some bushes with her right lower leg mostly blown off and sparks coming from the exposed mechanics. WOLVERINE v3 #20 (2:3-2:4) One day, "weeks" after W3 20 (1-2). This segment must occur after NX 10. Ichiro sits on a bench in the park, in grief that no one seems to be able to help him recover his son. Not knowing to whom to turn to, he calls up Logan.

He meets the kidnappers in a graveyard, and gives them the duffle bags, which the kidnappers discover is not filled with money after all. Wolverine starts to kick their butt, but then un-dead ninjas pop out of the ground, and Logan figures out this is a trap, and he's been set up. The Gorgon appears and defeats Wolverine. As Logan blacks out, the Gorgon says they killed the boy. Logan is taken away to be brainwashed. Green trees in Nagasaki. Sunday, February 1 CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #11 One day. A packet arrives at Steve Rogers' secret residence and Steve views its contents - evidence showing that the Winter Soldier is Bucky. Steve calls Fury and tells him to come over with Sharon. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #12 The same day as CA5 11. It is "not a month" (i.e. less than a month) after CA5 6 (2-21). Falcon now has a mustache and goatee, which he may be growing and shaving periodically throughout the next year. At the New York offices of Kronas Corporation, Lukin uses the Cosmic Cube to persuade a group of corporate executives to hand over their companies to him. When Lukin begins to show stress from being in contact with the Cube, his friend Leon notes the danger of the Cube and Lukin beats him. Fury and Sharon visit Steve and review the Winter Soldier files. Fury takes the files and Sharon tries to tell Cap that the Winter Soldier is no longer Bucky and that he may have to be killed. When Sharon fails to reach him, Fury contacts the Falcon, who encounters Cap while out on patrol. Green trees in New York. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #13 (1-4) The same night as CA5 12. Falcon talks to Cap at Steve's secret home and Cap decides to try to save Bucky. Seeing the severity of Leon's injuries, Lukin sees the Cube as a curse and sends it away with the Winter Soldier. Monday, February 2 NEW WARRIORS v3 #3 - FB (16:2-16:3) One day. As noted in a newspaper, Zachary Smith's son, Microbe, is found to be mutant who can talk to germs. Smith disowns his son and moves to Scotland to prove world wrong. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #13 (5-20) The day after CA5 13 (1-4). Early in the morning, Cap, Falcon, and Iron Man storm an AID warehouse, battle a prototype robot, and obtain the energy signature of the Cube. With it, they track the Cube to a research facility in West Virginia where Lukin is having it stored in a vault. Citing a failed takeover of his company by Kronas "last month," Tony cannot go with Cap and Falcon for fear of the mission being seen as corporate warfare and losing his company; so the fact that Cap and Sam jet to West Virginia in a jet labeled "Stark" seems ill-advised (duh). Sam thinks it's a bad move not to have Iron Man as backup; no mention is made of the other Avengers. Cap decides against getting Fury to help because of the attendant red tape. While on route, Cap is radioed by Sharon and Cap tells her he's going to Cube's location to find the Winter Soldier. Cap and Falcon land and as they approach the research facility, the Winter Soldier gets them in the sight of his rifle and fires. Green trees in New York and West Virginia. CAPTAIN AMERICA v5 #14 The same night as CA5 13 (5-20). This story must occur before W3 38 and thus before W3 36. It must also occur before PULSE 12, given D-Man's comment about the Winter Soldier in PULSE 13. It is before CA5 18-FB and "six months" before CA5 16 (5-22). It is a "year" before CA5 26. The Winter Soldier misses his target and Cap chases him inside the facility while Falcon and the newly arrived Sharon Carter and SHIELD fight Lukin's forces outside. Cap and the Winter Soldier fight and Cap tries to get his foe to realize who he really is. In the scuffle, the Cosmic Cube is loosed and it returns the Winter Soldier's memories as Bucky. Bucky grabs the Cube and disappears. He reappears at the defunct Fort Lehigh, where he despairs his fate. Lukin is chided for the failure with the Cube by the Red Skull, who's been co-habitating Lukin's body, thanks to the Cube. Bare trees at Fort Lehigh. Tuesday, February 3 NEW THUNDERBOLTS #1 One "morning." This segment occurs shortly after TB 101-FB, "two days" before TB2 2, "a couple weeks" before TB2 9-FB, and must be more than "two months" after A/TB 6 (17-20). The Avengers are noted as being "disassembled" (presumably meaning disbanded), so this story must occur after A:FINALE. Mach-4 has gathered Blizzard and mechanic Erik Josten and invites Songbird to join his new Thunderbolts, for whom he's set up a headquarters at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. They all respond to an attack on Manhattan by Fathom 5 and are joined by Genis-Vell. Sensing an attraction between Genis and Melissa, Josten views Genis as a threat and attacks the alien hero, spontaneously growing to Atlas size. The villains get away and Abe reports to the team's investor, Baron Von Strucker. Green grass and trees in New York. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #18 - FB The same day as TB2 1. As Genis lay dying in the Hudson River, a cocoon of photonic energy envelops him, opening pathways through space and time, knitting Genis back with parts of himself from the past and future. Genis has a vision of himself tearing reality apart. Wednesday, February 4 WOLVERINE v3 #20 (13-14) One day, "one week" after W3 20 (3-12), during which time Logan is missing. It is "one month" before W3 20 (15-17). Kitty Pryde is at Ichiro's house, questioning Ichiro and his wife. No one has heard from Logan since he went to meet with the kidnappers. Ichiro's wife says she feels in her heart that her son is dead. Green trees in Japan. Thursday, February 5 NEW THUNDERBOLTS #2 (1-9) One day, "two days" after TB2 1 and "months" after TB2 17-FB (16:3). The T-Bolts battle and defeat the Wrecking Crew and Speed Demon shows up to join the team. The Purple Man plots against the T-Bolts. ORDER v2 #2 - FB - FB (1/2:20) One day. Becky Ryan has a bulimic episode. Friday, February 6 NEW THUNDERBOLTS #2 (10-22) Probably the day after TB2 2 (1-9). This storyline must occur after W2 20 (13-14). Reed Richards appears; a reporter notes his being "the leader of the beleaguered Fantastic Four," and a U.N. delegate notes his "recent escapades in Latveria," clues that this segment occurs after FF 511. Seeking justice for the terrorism of Fathom Five, the T-Bolts crash Namor's address to the U.N. (whose building is noted as having been rebuilt after the Kang War). Seeking Namor as part of the Great Game, Joystick, Polestar, and Tremolo attack, under observation of the Referee. When the Gaming Council activates a two-minute warning for a failsafe explosive, the heroes try to jam the transmission and offer Joystick a spot in the T-Bolts. Their efforts fail, though, and the U.N. building explodes. Namor is in his classic trunks. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #3 The same day as TB2 2 (10-22). This story must occur sometime after PPTSS2 20, given that Spidey suggests that his webbing is natural ("I'm probably gonna need a truckload of Twinkies to replenish my web-supply now"). Subby may appear here (now recovered) after INV3 9. The T-Bolts, along with Subby, Reed Richards, Spidey, and Code Blue, evacuate the UN Building and keep it from collapsing. Radioactive Man arrives to absorb the radiation leak from the explosion and is offered membership in the T-Bolts. Meanwhile, Atlantean troops battle Fathom Five and the new Swordsman skewers Baron Von Strucker. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #4 The same day as TB2 3. Strucker is saved by the death spore virus in him. Wolverine, brainwashed by the Dawn of the White Light, shows up and attacks Strucker. Caught in the Hydra civil war, Swordsman defends Strucker, who gets away. Swordsman leaves Logan and reports to the Purple Man (who must be here between ALIAS 28 and A4 1). None of this fight actually comes to public attention, and SHIELD manages to miss the whole thing. Songbird recovers in the hospital and Captain Marvel appears in a glowing cocoon in the Atlantic. As Jenkins meets with Warbird (back in classic costume again) to ask for clearance for Joystick and Speed Demon, Fathom Five attacks. It is warm enough in New York for dining al fresco. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #5 The same night as TB2 4. The Thunderbolts gather to battle Fathom Five, with Jenkins having to don his old Beetle armor to participate. As the battle rages, a fleet of Hydra ships appears in the skies over Manhattan. NEW THUNDERBOLTS #6 The same night as TB2 5. It is "a few days" before TB2 7. This story probably occurs before W3 20 (15-17). Strucker, noting that he is "in a contentious struggle to control my organization," seeks to foment chaos with the Hydra attack on Manhattan, which costs hundreds of lives. The New Warriors, Power Pack, Spidey, and Cap join the battle as Warbird and the Thunderbolts save the city from destruction by all but one of a set of nuclear bombs planted by Hydra. Genis presumably rises from the dead, starts calling himself Photon, and redirects the fallout from the last bomb into a spatial rift. The Thunderbolts learn that Mach IV was taking money from Strucker to finance the team, which turns out to be a set-up and Speed Demon is revealed as Strucker's spy on the team, but among the public, the new Thunderbolts are hailed as heroes. "It's Wednesday." NEW THUNDERBOLTS #9 - FB - FB The same night as TB2 6. Under the sea, the Atlantean army escorts the captured Llyron. Saturday, February 7 WOLVERINE v3 #22 - FB One day, before W3 20 (15-17) and probably after TB2 6. Defeated by the Thunderbolts, Strucker must have acquiesced to the Gorgon's insinuation into Hydra and the civil war is ended. Gorgon and Strucker brainwash Logan, probably to reprogram him to follow mainstream Hydra rather than just the splinter faction that was allied with Gorgon. Sunday, February 8 NEW INVADERS #4 One day. Namor is still in his classic trunks. After terrorists attack a gay pride rally in London that is attended by Roger Aubrey, Hammond, Tara, Jacqueline, and Joe join Roger at Falsworth Manor. That night, what appears to be the ghost of her dead son visits Jacqueline and she disappears. NEW INVADERS #6 - FB Probably the same day as INV3 4.

Jacqueline encounters her demonic baby grandson while the Invaders fight off Baroness Blood and her vampiric minions. The Torch asks Aubrey to resume command of the V-Battalion on a temporary basis while he remains with the Invaders. Monday, February 9 NEW INVADERS #6 The day after INV3 6-FB. It is "months" after INV3 0. This story must occur shortly after W3 22-FB; the Invaders have heard rumors of Logan being brainwashed, but apparently have not been notified officially by SHIELD. Baron Von Strucker dispatches Wolverine to kill Professor Eckhardt so that the secrets of the Pterorists do not fall into enemy hands. Logan kills Atlantean advisor Sulumor and attacks U.S.Agent, Namor (now in his black and gold costume), and Blazing Skull, who have just arrested Eckhardt. Walker ignores an order from Thin Man to leave Namor at the mercy of Logan and the Invaders succeed in evacuating the scene with both Namor and Eckhardt. Hydra scrubs Logan's mission. ORDER v2 #2 - FB (22:1) One day. Becky Ryan makes an adult video. Tuesday, February 10 NEW INVADERS #7 The day after INV3 6. The Invaders have reunited aboard the Infiltrator and have been trying to track Wolverine since "yesterday." Namor is bandaged up and "will be on his feet in a few days."

Captain America arrives on the Infiltrator to shut down Thin Man's operation. NEW INVADERS #8 The same day as INV3 7. In Antarctica, Merrano's men prepare a warhead to melt the ice caps and cause global flooding. Cap and the Invaders arrive and battle them. Union Jack is injured and Tara is revealed to be a plant whose programmed mission is to activate the warhead. Through her, the Invaders receive a recorded message from the Red Skull. NEW INVADERS #9 (1-13) The same day as INV3 8. Unable to release Tara from the Skull's programming, Jim Hammond absorbs the tremendous heat she generates and releases it in an explosion high above earth. Jim is killed and Tara is left catatonic. Thin Man has the Infiltrator evacuated then uses the ship to drop the warhead into sub-dimensional space. Wednesday, February 11 SHE-HULK v4 #4 - FB (2-8) One day during an 8-month period following either A:FINALE or A 503 and during the "February" before (but probably not the year before) S-H4 4. S-H3 2 (1-13) is referred to as having occurred "last year." A guilt-ridden Jennifer Walters works as a volunteer with the Green Cross, helping rebuild Bone, Idaho after the destruction she caused there as She-Hulk in A3 73-75. She calls Doc Samson for counsel. Doc is working on a "gamma changer" that should help Jen change back into She-Hulk despite the mental blocks she developed in S-H3 12 (20-22). He tells her to go to a support group for the victims in Bone, held "every Wednesday night." Jennifer goes to the support group meeting and hears victims' stories, including one by a woman named Kristy, who claims her husband is missing and presumed buried in the rubble. Bare trees in Idaho. Thursday, February 12 NEW THUNDERBOLTS #7 One day. It is "a few days" after TB2 6 and "a few days" before TB2 8 (7-21). TV pundits discuss the Thunderbolts and Joystick crashes the Today Show (an indication that it is probably a weekday). Sanders brings Gill to a bar where they meet Herman Schultz, who offers Sanders an opportunity to get in on a five-million-dollar score. Genis can't remember anything about his death. The Chinese government asks Chen Lu to stay with the Thunderbolts. Killgrave prepares the new Swordsman to join the Thunderbolts and Songbird quits.

Haunted by nightmares of guilt, Jennifer goes outside before dawn and joins Green Cross head Gary Swanson in digging rubble in Bone. That morning, crews discover the body of Kristy's husband Travis. Feeling responsible for the man's death, Jennifer goes to the sheriff's office to hand herself in, but Wanda's spell of concealment from S-H3 2 (1-13) prevents the people there from seeing her. She discovers some shady business involving Travis and does some investigating. That night, she enters the pit in which Travis was found, then someone uses a backhoe to dump rubble onto her. Jen partially turns into She-Hulk to hold up the rubble and dwells on all the damage she's done "this past year" to Bone, the Avengers, and GLK&H. She is saved and shows Gary proof that Kristy murdered her husband. After Gary tells Jen he harbors guilt for events that led to the Hulk's creation, Jen successfully changes into She-Hulk so that the citizens of Bone can see her come clean and apologize.

A strange voice explains that Bill is in another dimension outside of time and space, a dimension ruled by cosmic beings who locked away Asteroth and others in the cosmic hell. They've transported Bill to their dimension to thank him for stopping Asteroth. Bill sees that Skuttlebutt is here too. The cosmic beings tell Bill they will transport him wherever he wishes to go, and he decides he wants to go back to Asgard to check to see if the Asgardians won the final battle of Ragnarok. So Bill gets onboard Skuttlebutt, and they leave this dimension behind. Appearing back in real time and space, they find they're on a course for Asgard. Bill pauses to mourn the Korbinites some more. Skuttlebutt reports that there is strange energy emitting from the Meta-Orb. This energy starts growing out of control, and Bill grabs the Meta-Orb and busts out of the ship. The Meta-Orb emits an explosion of energy, and Bill and the Meta-Orb fall to the ground below, which turns out to be Asgard in ruins. Bill stumbles upon Surtur's corpse. He walks back over to the Meta-Orb and is shocked as it cracks open and a demonic version of Beta Ray Bill pops out. This creature reveals itself to be a mixture of Asteroth and the Korbinites and calls itself Omega Ray. Before Asteroth was sucked into the black hole, she put a small portion of her essense in the Meta-Orb. She's been feasting upon the souls in the Meta-Orb since then, and now has broken out in this new body. Enraged, Bill immediately starts hammering away, calling upon all of the remaining power of Odin left in Asgard to strike down this foe.

Simon hits his hand on the ground, magically transforms into Beta Ray Bill, and starts pounding on the Boar. Spider-Man arrives and the two team up and defeat the Boar. They then go out for pizza.

Elektra and the surviving SHIELD agents evacuate the carrier. Elektra says this was a trap, and that they need to check and see if Wolverine tapped into the SHIELD carrier's system mainframe.
