Re: Spider-Man and Human Torch

I don't know what they had in mind in that period to made 3 cross-overs in short time :thinking: it's unbelievable :shock: I'll quote the Appendix to the Marvel Handbooks notes on the Starblasters group which explains the reasoning behind the Starblast crossover.

Re: IM 330-331 and the Onslaught event

The story is obviously involves Teen Tony, which fits with the publication dates. The main problem with this is that 2 of the villains were dead at that time. Blackout died in A 277, and will only be brought back to life in New Thunderbolts #17. Blackout died due to cerebral hemorrhage, while tryin...

Re: Savage Sword of Conan #53-58

Conan got his soul back less than two weeks ago thanks to the Queen of Khauran. An editor’s note points us to “the forthcoming paperback novel by Andrew J. Offutt, or our eventual adaptation.” This would be 1980’s “Conan the Mercenary,” and was adapted by Roy in SAVSCO 217-218. Which one? Taramis i...

Re: Tarot #1

Some random remarks: It's a bit early to relegate to the non-canon list. The Defenders and Avengers members are long-time members and the story could take place at several points until the mid-80s. The Defenders' status as a non-team means we can also look at any time when Nighthawk, Hellcat, etc. ...

Also in Alaska, Wolverine knows what a Sentinel is, and that Weapon X is using a fancy new model that can pass as a human. The Prime Sentinels associated with the Zero Tolerance organization could pass as human. That was what gave them an edge in their original stories from c. 1997. Is there any sp...

Seekers

Is there a reason the Seekers are not listed in the MCP for their appearances in ASM:F&E 2? The issue features Chain Lightning, Fireball, Laserworks, Sonic and two unidentified new recruits getting defeated by the Metahumes.
