Re: SECRET INVASION!

He appears to be saying that Veranke became Queen shortly after Galactus ate the Skrull throneworld, and that she was Queen of at least a sect of the skrulls for years thereafter before she decided to replace Jessica Drew. The various claimants of the throne following the death of R'Kll and Anelle ...

Re: Nova v4 #13-19

As far as I can tell, this is Dr. Necker's first MU appearance, but an alternate version played a key part in Death's Head II's origin (written by one D. Abnett). The references to the Planet Hulk Death's Head Guards as "Minions" are apparently a further reference in that direction. Actua...

Re: Nova v4 #13-19

When they reach "Control One", Robbie introduces Rich to Project Director Gruenwald, and his line chief, robotics head Dr. Necker. Director Gruenwald explains that 117 staff, and 16 children (in the daycare centre) are trapped, while Dr. Necker adds that they managed to beat back the skru...

Re: Franklin Richards: Sons of Geniuses! 1

The Onslaught uniforms consisted of full body uniforms for everyone but the Thing, long white collars, big visible "4" signs above the heart area but otherwise kept the Byrne colorations. They only appeared in #415-416 (August - September, 1996) and issues relating to the crossover. The H...

Re: Wolverine: Origins 30

So… what’s going on with Ms. Sinister, anyway? Is it Mr. Sinister’s mind in a new body? Is it just his powers that’s been transferred to someone else?(who the hell is Claudine Renko, anyway? She’s escaping me at the moment) Does Ms. Sinister remember Mr. Sinister’s life? I probably wasn’t paying en...

Re: Franklin Richards: Sons of Geniuses! 1

If you try and place this earlier, you have problems with the collars to consider (they varied between very thin, and great big areas of dark blue) and Franklin's own age, since you have to go back to the early John Byrne issues to have them in Kirby-based costumes before FF3 39. [After Byrne ditch...

Re: Red Raven's chronology

On the subject of Red Ravens, there is one missing from the MCP. The Western villain from "Rawhide Kid" vol. 1 #38 (February, 1964). His debut is not indexed yet but his subsequent appearance in "West Coast Avengers" vol. 2 #18 (March, 1987) should probably get him a listing.

Re: Red Raven's chronology

What's up with Red Raven? He and (most of) his race died in Sub-Mariner 326, and then years later in Nova v3 #4-5 and 7 they just popped back up, said "our death was a hoax, ha ha ha" and popped off again. (It's worth noting that those appearances are missing in his chronology, btw!) I do...

Re: ANGEL:REVELATIONS #1-5 and Updated Angel Chronology

I really wonder about if/how this miniseries fits with Cameron Hodge's history, if it does. It's not reflected in the MCP listings because it's mostly been told rather than shown, but Hodge's history with Angel is apparently extensive from both their accounts (not just the Handbook), and from what ...

Re: Danger room question in regards to W:FC #6.

In issue #6 of Wolverine: First Class the Danger Room is depicted as being in the basement of the X-mansion. I believe this is an error. If i remember correctly prior to the destruction of the X-Mansion in Uncanny X-Men #154 the Danger Room was always on the main floor. It was only after the mansio...

Wouldn't that be White King/Edward "Ned" Buckman, the predecessor of Shaw in the leadership of the Hellfire Club?

Re: Ms. Marvel vol 1

Yup.. I see the Marie Danvers and Mr. Eliot appearences I missed. But I'm still not seeing Frank Gianelli in MsM 11. Uh... are your notes based on comics you've read, or on the Appendix's listings? Because the MCP only accepts stuff you can substantiate for yourself. Just checking because the appen...

Re: Overhauling GSX & CX

Interesting. Given the events of X-Men: Deadly Genesis though, and the FlashBacks in X 2 & XU 2, I don't see how this can occur simultaneously... I've opted to go with the Defenders issues occuring well before GSX 1 & it's Flashbacks, if only to free up Moira.(In X 2-FB, Moira recieves the ...

Re: AGE OF THE SENTRY #2 (w/ Carol Danvers and Silver Age)

The FF are in their 'classic' costumes, and Thing appears in his 'lumpy rock' form. Does anyone know when Ben developed his more familiar 'rocky plate' appearance, and if he ever reverted back to the lumpy appearance circa 1964-1966? Invisible Girl is still rather ineffectual ("Oh Reed! My dar...
