M/FAN 13/2

Idunn is currently credited in her chronology for an appearance in M/FAN 13, but she actually appeared in the second story in that issue (tacking on a "/2" there). Odin, the Warriors Three, and Bragi (the Asgardian god of poetry and Idunn's husband, no apparent relation to the "Braggi...

Re: Possible placement issue with PWJ2 1 and W:O 11-15

Chris, you're right about Tinkerer's chronology being correct. That checks with the calendar. In the calendar I put a significant gap between pages 16 (pre-CW) and 17 of W:O 11. Caught that myself. So, since Logan doesn't appear in the post-CW segments of W:O 11 if I read it correctly, all that wou...

Possible placement issue with PWJ2 1 and W:O 11-15

The Tinkerer currently has in his listing his appearance in PWJ2 1 preceding his appearances in W:O 12 and 15, the latter two of which precede the Civil War storyline according to Wolverine's chronology. Since PWJ2 takes place entirely during the Superhuman Civil War (the Punisher ruminates on the C...

Mojo in M/CP 85/3

Mojo's chronology has him appearing in M/CP 85/3 (the kick off of the M/CP Beast serial involving Commander Courage his pre-X-Men girlfriend Jennifer Nyles)... could this have been intended to be a listing for M/CP 89/3 instead (Mojo doesn't appear in the former, and his appearance in the latter isn...

PPTSS@ 14

Found a possible incongruity regarding the placement of PPTSS@ 14 for the characters appearing therein. Spidey's chronology places his appearance between PPTSS 212 and 213, WOSM 112 and 113, and ASM 389 and 390, and MJ's is in the same ballpark. Liz's appearance in this issue, however, is placed ear...

Wolverine typo

Wolverine's chronology has him listed for an appearance in M/CP 38. Logan appeared in the fourth story in that issue; this should be listed as "M/CP 38/4."

Hulk and Angela Lipscomb in A3 39-40

Hulk's appearances in A3 39-40 are currently nested between his appearances in DEF2 4 and DEF2 5, but Cap and Iron Man both have their appearances listed prior to the beginning of the DEF2 series. Further, Hulk appears in BP3 35, which are consistently placed after DEF2 1-4 and, following that, the ...

Re: Thor Celestial Saga/Origin of Odin

http://www.chronologyproject.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4899 I did the writeups for a fair bit of the Ring of the Nibelung Saga for the Thor Index... consensus amongst the OHOTMU and Index crews is the Eye's accounting is at least partially factual, since Valkyrie has made in-story reference...

Those too, yes, but more the ones where "Doctor" is part of a codename.

Re: Naming conventions

On another track of the thread topic, anyone else notice there are a lot of characters with "Mister" as a prefix to their codename (Mister Fantastic, Mister Hyde, Mister Fear, Mister Immortal, etc.), but some of them are listed alphabetically as "Mister" and some are listed as &q...

Re: Naming conventions

I gotta admit I'd like there to be one single chronology listing per character, with links from alternate codenames to the main listing (if for no other selfish reason than it'd make my personal little Marvel statistics projects a bit easier, but I digress... :) ). Maybe whatever the current codenam...

Re: Re:

1) characters age in real time. They would all be beyond retirement age by now. 2) Their adventures take place in their original era. Few readers would want to read superheroes in the 70s (I would but that's the era of my youth). Superheroes aren't historical fiction but fantasy. These would both m...

Re: Recent article about the Sliding Timescale

It's pretty much the only way Marvel can maintain a running narrative without a lot of their characters being in their 60s to 80s by now (which in itself would be interesting, as we'd have new generations of characters take up the reins of heroism as older characters aged, died, and/or retired), hav...
