Man-Thing reference: Alvin Till

In THUNDERBOLTS #154, dialogue lists several characters who were killed by (or in the vicinity of) Man-Thing. I've found most of them in the first year of the original MAN-THING series. But there is one name that isn't listed in the MCP and doesn't ring a bell with me, either: Alvin Till, who is rep...

Re: One Moment in Time

I'll take one crack at this, describing how I look at it, then I'll quietly lurk and watch the chronology experts try to hammer it out. :D BOTH sequences of events are true and BOTH of them occurred in the 616 reality. Mephisto created a sort of timeline branch (616-B, if you will), then merged the ...

Re: Luke Cage chronology gap?

The gang war between Hammerhead and Tombstone was depicted in the MAX Cage series. Right there, that's why I'm finding all of this so confusing. There are characters called "Tombstone" and "Hammer" in Cage , but they aren't Spider-Man's Tombstone and Hammerhead. If the text is r...

Re: When is a flashback not a flashback?

Here's the second part of my question: Issue #13 shows the beginning of a briefing in which Songbird explains how the Thunderbolts are going to overpower the Avengers. We then move forward to the battle and, throughout the battle (which continues into #14), cut back to single-panel scenes from the b...

When is a flashback not a flashback?

I'm currently doing an analysis of NEW THUNDERBOLTS #13. This issue starts with a scene set "now", then presents a series of scenes that occur previously, each with clear labels: "Wednesday, 5:00am", "7:30pm", etc. These scenes aren't a story being told by one of the ch...
