Re: Is GROO canon?

Totally cool, yo! And to be fair, two characters appearing together in a Marvel comic would not be out of the bounds of reality to suggest something is canon to 616 (not that you did). I mean, they (a Barbarian and a Wanderer) appeared together, right? That's why we ask the questions! :) No problem...

Re: Is GROO canon?

I just want to make it clear because it isn't currently the case: I did NOT start a thread suggesting Groo is canon. I mentioned the Groo vs Conan crossover in the Conan thread, and someone has split it off into it's own thread. Which is fine, but I would NOT have used that title. I wondered if the ...

Re: random CONAN bits

Given that he appears to be fighting Groo (who I am sure you recognized, given you described Conan's opponent as a wanderer), I'm wondering if this would count as evidence that Dark Horse's Conan vs. Groo might be 616. I think we would need an outright "Conan vs Groo is canon" statement f...

Is GROO canon?

From random CONAN bits : SJNS -Conan battles a wanderer in the snow in front of a burning building. -technically, this would be a flash-forward within a flashback, as the villain Ombu-Doksi was in pre-Hyborian Age Atlantis in the previous panel weaving a tapestry of things that all came true, then i...

Re: What If Conan the Barbarian walked the Earth Today?

Thanks. Okay, that confirms it isn't 616 Conan then, as we have a divergence for him, not just the present day stuff.

Re: What If Conan the Barbarian walked the Earth Today?

The modern day stuff, certainly - but again, time travellers often shunt sideways. The 616 Thing didn't play Blackbeard in 616's history. So while we're not going to get any solid evidence confirming that it could be 616 Conan who moves forward for a time into modern day 79213 then returns to 616, i...

Re: What If Conan the Barbarian walked the Earth Today?

The modern day stuff might not be 616, but since time travel used to usually shunt people sideways into alternate realities, could the past stuf (and hence Conan) be 616?

Phantom Eagle (and others) in New Excalibur#12

There's a single panel appearance of Phantom Eagle on the first page of New Excalibur#12 that's not listed in his entry, shown as part of a montage of future and past visions Merlyn is watching. The script confirms it is Phantom Eagle fighting the Red Baron. No idea where in his chronology it would ...

Defenders (2011/vol.4)'s flashbacks

The main story in Defenders vol.4 ultimately ended up being negated for 616 because Dr. Strange went back in time and prevented his younger self from taking the first steps that initiated the whole adventure. However, through that story there were flashbacks (in #5, 6 and 8 iirc) to the 1920s (and p...

Re: Daredevil Annual (2018)

Jason Aaron started the problem in Dr. Strange 11 when he showed Strange using MGH in a flashback before encountering the Ancient One. Bendis tried to explain this away in a flashback in Spider-Men II 3- a young Miles Morales saves a young Wilson Fisk from a guy using MGH. Miles explains that there...

Re: Daredevil Annual (2018)

MGH is one of those things that have only been around for a few years, but has cropped up in retcon stories. I'm not too worried about that one. Jason Aaron started the problem in Dr. Strange 11 when he showed Strange using MGH in a flashback before encountering the Ancient One. Bendis tried to exp...

If absolute confirmation is wanted, there's no reason someone couldn't ask John Byrne directly via his personal forums.

Re: “Rick” and “Joanie” in UX 142

I looked up the issue in question and then the characters from the strip, because it's not one I'm familiar with. I've got no doubt in my mind that Clive is right.

Re: Nick Fury, SHIELD & the sliding timescale

I'm still keeping tabs on appearances of Nick Fury and SHIELD before Strange Tales 135, so here's another one.. Spider-Man/Deadpool 31 has flashbacks of Mary and Richard Parker being recruited into SHIELD by Nick Fury. This should occur after Untold Tales of Spider-Man Minus 1, when they are still ...
