The placement of the issues involving Julia Carpenter's coma are weird. Let's go through them one by one: SCRS2 6- Julia and Rachel are going to the zoo. Julia gets a vision and they learn Shathra is after Kaine. Amazing Spider-Man 695-696- Julia falls into a coma and is taken to Columbia University...

Invincible Iron Man 18 follows directly from 17; an editorial note indicates that Magneto will go from it to Fall of the House of X 5. Note that Sandman is with Rhodey when he escapes jail, and it's implied he's been with Rhodey since Invincible iron Man 10. So this DOES seem to suggest that Fall o...

Rictor's appearance in XFOR 30 is missing from his chronology. (He appears on the last page.)

What Emma says is "Iron Man's Sentinel Buster armor has arrived from space and is drawing the bulk of the Sentinels to the Australian outback." The Sentinel Buster armor (which looks like a fleet of ships) is specifically what draws the Sentinels there; Tony himself arrives after at least...

Sometime around now, the Realm of X crew returns to Earth. (Realm of X 4) I think they had to get back at least a couple of days before Fall of the House of X 1 since Gambit's appearance in X-Men Unlimited 129-130 takes place before his appearance in Fall of the House of X 1 and Dani has already ma...

We had this debate earlier in the post-Inferno thread but it's possible that all six demons are really appearing, not that the Shadow King is impersonating them.

That being said, what actually happened in Havelock's recollection was that the old woman had a nightmare. When telling the story to Strange, the doctor theorizes that it was Nightmare in disguise. "'Caught up in a nightmare', indeed! She must have been warding off an attack by the overlord of...

Mr. Sinister's appearances in C 27-28 aren't listed in his chronology.

In Spider-Woman 5 Captain Marvel is called back by Vision on an ongoing Avengers matter related to Kang. I assume she is referring to the time when Kang was in Avengers custody between Avengers 2 and Avengers 10, with the group fighting the threats he predicted. Since Carol is wearing the new costu...

Resurrection of Magneto #3 follows directly on from #2, and raises the possibility that the Shadow King = Annihilation = the First Fallen = the Goblin Force, although it's probably more reasonable to read it as just "the Shadow King assuming other entities' guises." I don't think that's t...

We ignore "Meanwhile" captions all the time when we have to- some writers don't think too carefully about what "meanwhile" means. I'm more comfortable ignoring a meanwhile caption then turning what is clearly meant to be one cure into two cures. Besides, why would they have to fi...

But a footnote says "Spidey actually helped develop the cure in X-Men 29 and procured an advance dose!" (That should be X-Men 30.) And later on, Peter says "I couldn't wait for the X-Men to figure out the best dispersal method." Which is more likely- that there were two cures tha...

Also, X-Men Unlimited 130 continues from issue 129 and confirms this is taking place after Dark X-Men 5. Also this week, Amazing Spider-Man 45 takes place after Gang War. In it, Peter injects Aunt Anna with the cure for the drugs Orchis poisoned her with. The reason this is important is that the dia...

The Blackout in EL3 6- FB is listed as the original Blackout, Marcus Daniels, but the art clearly shows Blackout II.

X-Men #32 takes place pretty quickly, and appears to be very shortly after Fall of the House of X #2. (It also seems to be fairly soon after Magik has returned from Realm of X, but she could've been lying low for a while.) This is weird. Illyana says that she looked for the X-Men everywhere but app...
