Marvel Chronology Project

Hmm, I hadn't thought about the apparent contradiction of having part of NM 29 occur after NM 28, considering Magneto appears in both NM 28 and NM 29. NM 28 at pg. 7-9 shows Magneto interacting with Lee Forrester (Cyclops' old flame), who rejects him because he's a mutant. NM 28 also shows Xavier re...

I was reading Secret Wars II (which I never really did before) in Tpb and came across what is possibly a minor error in the entry for Professor X. This tends to be supported by Magneto's present entry. The present entries are as follows: MAGNETO/MAGNUS/MAX EISENHARDT/"ERIC LENSHERR"/"...

Great! Thanks so much for the reply. I probably shouldn't care so much, but I am a bit of a continuity freak and a reboot would have meant a radical change in how I approach this decades-old hobby.

I am hopelessly behind in my reading even though I continue to accumulate books at an alarming rate. So I thought I would bring up this question again, to the folks who are most likely to know the answer: Did Secret Wars "reboot" the Marvel Universe? In the 'hard' sense, like Crisis did fo...

Okay, thanks for the info. The project does great work and I used it all the time, but a lag is of course to be expected.

I'm curious, I just started reading some of the later issues of Astonishing X-Men via Marvel Unlimited (previously, I had only read through Whedon's run) and saw the character Warbird (Shiar warrior) and was wondering when she was introduced, but when I looked in the Project, I couldn't find an entr...

IIRC, on one of the inside cover pages for Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition by Mark Gruenwald (cr 1986), Gruenwald included a complete list of all Marvel Universe comics that his team had relied on. It's very outdated, but it might not be a terrible place to start. The most he...

I'm trying to make sense of the whole "All-New, All-Different Marvel" that is planned, after Secret Wars. Various sources seem to give conflicting and/or confusing indications. Is this, or is this not, a reboot of the Marvel Universe? And by reboot, I mean along the lines of DC's Crisis, w...

Anyone have any insight into this one? I've re-read H3 25, TTA 90/2-91/2, the Wikipedia page, and several online sources, and still haven't the slightest clue as to what the basis is for concluding that Abomination (who would still have been Emil Blonsky) was BTS in H 1. I haven't had a chance yet t...

Well, the original rationale for placement didn't seem hugely compelling-- it was basically just going by the Wasp's costume (which was admittedly not a "firm indicator"): "There is an editorial note on the first page of Hulk Smash Avengers #1 that states, 'this story occurs between A...

Not sure I agree. In HFFF, Peter David portrays the fully dumb Hulk. In SENTRY2-3, on page 6, the Sentry notes that the Hulk is "a mindless beast who becomes docile in your presence." In other words, he was already a dumb brute but just becomes a gentle puppy in Sentry's presence. Ditko's ...

No, the Hulk seems pretty dumb from the outset of TTA 60/2. In TTA 60/2, for example, he has difficulty understanding that he and Banner are actually separate entities. In TTA 62/2, his "brutish brain" is easily tricked by the Chameleon (pg. 7). On pg. 8, his "bestial brain" is &...

I have a question about the Abomination's entry. Abomination is listed as being "BTS" in H 1 and H@ 17-FB (presumably referring to the FB in the annual which occurred during H 1). But for the life of me, I can't remember any story establishing that Blonsky was BTS in those early stories. C...

Hi, I saw an old locked thread on "Placement of Hulk Smash Avengers #1", where the following was stated: Postby Paul Bourcier » Fri May 11, 2012 9:16 pm There is an editorial note on the first page of Hulk Smash Avengers #1 that states, "this story occurs between Avengers [vol. 1] #7 ...

Sorry, while you were posting (but before I saw your post), I edited my old post upon realizing that M/N:I had been deemed non-canon (in the FAQ).
