Venom vol. 5 1-12 Added. Begins in September, while Fisk is still Mayor of NYC. Issue 2 begins in November, and Dylan has been riding freight trains across America in the meantime. Issues 2-5 happen in quick succession. Issue 6 begins 6 days later, then moves to 13 days later. Issues 6-12 happen in...

In this issue Spider-Man comments on newly wearing his blue and red costume (cf. ASM 300). For him in the MCP this appearance in T 391 follows DAMCON 1 but for Thor, DAMCON 1 follows T 395. (Yet they appear in the same scene in the first pages of DAMCON 1.) The mistake is from the Spider-Man index. ...

2019-2020 inventory 2021 inventory My 2022 Inventory I started the year reviewing cases of retroactive first appearances , including the Eternals Makkari and Sersi and retconned early appearances by Dr Druid and Ulysses Bloodstone I applied my onomastics skills to Pr Yinsen and Wakandan names . I m...

Original X-Men 1 has a short sequence of the five original X-Men fighting Eel and Plantman on grounds before they get sent to an alternate universe. Eel and Plantman team up to assist Nefaria in X 22-23 in Washington D.C. and don't team up again until the 1970s. My first intent was to find a spot du...

The Avengers lineup in BW 1-FB does not really match any specific lineup, probably because it is for a magazine article rather than an official portrait. It was placed between A 177 & A 181 because all the needed characters are around and Wasp is wearing the right costume. However I also look at...

Photographs are considered flashbacks in the MCP. Group shots for teams usually reflect a specific lineup, especially those on the walls of Avengers Mansion. For instance CHAOS:DA 3 (22:1)-FB-FB is Cap's kooky quartet that emerged in A 16. CHAOS:DA 3 (21:3)-FB-FB is the lineup from A 1. CHAOS:DA 3 (...

As stories get retold we sometimes wind up with two versions that are too different to be the same event. The first time I faced this was the last Captain America-Red Skull fight of WWII. Right from the first two times it was mentioned (TOS 72 & 79) there were contradictions. At first they were ...

When Conan tries to seduce the Scarlet Witch in the Zamora desert in Avengers: No Road Home #6 we learn he still hurts about the death of Bêlit. Also, the period after Roy Thomas left the title is a sort of limbo. In #115 Conan's in Shem, in #116 he's in Corinthia, Zamora is on the road and his look...

Robert Plesko has been a semi-regular character in Moon Knight under Terry Kavanagh. He first appeared under the alias Sigmund. Jed McKay brought him back in his run. While we're far from McKay's run, Plesko's overall omission can be corrected. SIGMUND/ROBERT PLESKO MSMK 38 MSMK 39 MSMK 40 MSMK 41 M...

Implementing the remarks above about 157-161 being in close succession, Peter & MJ appearing before they split, the Ani-Men as Death-Stalker original associates before they get killed in IM 116, the need of a longer break for Matt to inadvertently schedule two dates with Heather and Natasha on t...

The "five years" line is a problem that Midnighter's solution works around if we want a walking Xavier. As for Irene (born ca 1870), some rejuvenation must have taken place at some point. She was more than 100 years old when Claremont introduced her and, with the sliding time scale, close ...

Steve Rogers says "I've had more difficult Thanksgivings. Bastogne in '44 was pretty unpleasant." Have we seen any reference to Steve being present at the Battle of the Bulge before? The Howling Commandos were definitely there... in any case, that battle didn't start until a surprise atta...

In this story set in the past, Spider-Boy finds out Spider-Man has gone violent. The replacement FF from 2013 (Fraction/Allred) offer Spider-Boy a place with the Future Foundation. In Avenging Spider-Man 17, the FF still trust Spider-Man to babysit their young charges. Octavius becomes openly violen...

I agree the Leader is present and actually deserves more than a BTS since he's visible in reflections and speaks through Omnibus. Maybe my earlier post will be reconsidered. Also mentioned here . The Leader's appearance in SAVH had been omitted from the listing because of his earlier death but the c...
