Re: Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

As I have mentioned, in the Hyborian Age, the people of Nordheim worshipped an incarnation of the Asgardians. So then, if I'm reading this right, we have Viking-ish people in the Hyborian Age who worshipped one iteration of the Asgardians -- and the current (well, most recent before Straczynski, th...

Re: Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

Okay, here we have a difference of opinion because there are some cases where I would absolutely be willing to throw out a whole series. Oh, I feel that way about so many books and storylines these days, LOL (Illuminati, Wolverine Origins, Romulus, etc.) -- especially as I personally (and not for p...

Re: Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

LOL :) If you went back 1200 years, you'd find the Kirby Cycle Asgardians, yes. The basic problem comes from Marvel's "all creation myths are valid" thing (along with the Big Bang theory), restated on the Norse side as recently as T3 8, where Odin ["our" Odin, that is] created h...

Re: Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

Okay, now I'm confused again but this is more of a general question connected with the issue on this thread... So... not only have there been multiple Ragnaroks... they also, when they happen, "reset" Midgard as well? (Someone suggested this in another thread.) I.e., if you were in the 616...

Re: Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

Oh Lord. I hadn't even thought about how later retcons (of other retcons, possibly of yet other retcons) might have affected the mix. I assume that (for example) when the Eye of Odin story (not yet read it, I think...) was written, that was the official word on Asgardian history, and was only later ...

Time of Tales of Asgard, Raven Banner, etc.

This may be an odd question, but it occurred to me that this would be the best place for such questions... I know the Thor entry has a list of when various Asgardian stories with him take place in position with other stories involving him... but has it ever been established when, in relation to Eart...

Re: First appearance of Earth-616?

Ah, but (regardless of one's beliefs about them) none of those deities has shown up as a character in the MU without being changed any more than Dracula, etc., so... :-P

Re: Conan?

Yipes! I did not know that... as I accumulate back issues, I was hoping to organize them into chronological order and then read them, so I would start with stories of Conan's youth and (I assume?) end with his King Conan period... hmmm...

Re: Conan?

I seem to recall reading that Thongor (warrior of lost Lemuria!) predates not only Conan but Kull as well. http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/thongorlemuria.htm ccording to the letter column of Creatures on the Loose#27, "Thongor's adventures... take place almost half a million years ago, eons b...

Re: Conan?

Well, but there are issues which take place at other times, and annuals, and Giant-Size and so on, so even in the original series there are bits. But since that kind person posted the link to the Conan chronology, that solves my problem more or less entirely. :D

Re: Conan?

I'm probably the only person on Earth not signing up for it... (I'll buy the crossovers by writers I like, like Fred Van Lente and Dan Slott, but I really don't want to buy the main Secret Invasion series. I've profoundly disliked every single one of Marvel's Big Crossover Events, and especially the...

Excellent! That link from Sean was precisely what I need! :) Yes, it is good to be back. I cannot imagine how painful things will be for everyone coming up soon, however, as abruptly all kinds of characters' previous appearances are about to be retconned as Skrull impostors. :shock: (Will they get t...

Conan?

I've noticed that Conan and various books he is in are referenced, but he has no entry of his own. I'm curious because I've been trying to sort out his chronology within his Marvel appearances -- for instance, there is the occasional "this story takes place between #11 and #12" or "a ...
