Re: Journey Into Mystery: The Birth of Krakoa 1

So I guess we're done with Brubaker's idiotic "Krakoa was never intelligent- Xavier just used his telepathy to trick the X-Men into thinking it was" retcon.

Re: SECRET EMPIRE to INFINITY WARS

Cyclops flashes back to Legion defeating Magneto in Uncanny X-Men Vol. 3 #28. The Invaders mention Legion's battle with Aarkus in All-New Invaders 3. It looks like whatever Legion did to erase the world's memory of him in X-Men Legacy 24 was temporary.

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...

The reason why we placed it between AWC 95 and 96 was Hank being Dr. Pym.

Re: Werewolf II/Jack Russell in DSSS 26-27

Huh? DSSS 26-27 explicitly takes place before Ghost Rider 11, long before Danny has problems changing back. M/CP 107/3-113/3 have a note stating they take place before Ghost Rider 25, so they should probably take place after DSSS 26-27 (unless the note meant over a year before) and besides, in DSSS ...

Re: Secret Defenders 1-3 and more

The placement of DHAWK@ 3/2 is difficult for reasons explained here: http://www.chronologyproject.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=7848 The essential point is that the only time where Dormammu is ruling the Dark Dimension after 1981 and before Strange utters the Emancipation Incantation in Doctor ...

Re: SECRET WARS to CIVIL WAR II

There's a pretty narrow window for a flashback with X-23 and Loki to take place, if you assume that Loki is in his own body and not Sif's. Wolverine and X-23 first meet in X-Men 450. Loki dies in Thor 85, published the same month, and when he comes back, he's in Sif's body- he doesn't get his own bo...

Re: CIVIL WAR II to SECRET EMPIRE

The only issue is that Phoenix Resurrection seems to suggest that the Phoenix is gone from the Earth permanently after the end of that series. I guess it's possible it left a shard of itself in Quentin until GENX 86-87.

Re: Placement of X@2 1/2 (1992)

Except that Omega Red had been dead for years at the time of X-Men 4- the Hand use their "dozens of men sacrifice their lives to revive someone" trick to bring him back in X-Men 4. And Omega Red had never fought the X-Men. Moreover, the plot to X-Men 4-7 hinges on Wolverine being unable to...

Re: CIVIL WAR II to SECRET EMPIRE

Fisk is still technically mayor. Matt is acting mayor during Fisk's convalescence. The story hasn't fully unfolded yet in DD, so we don't know how it ends, although i'm admittedly an issue or two behind the times due to shipping. I'm assuming (and i know i shouldn't) that Fisk will recover and resu...

Re: CIVIL WAR II to SECRET EMPIRE

The Black Cat appears as a crimelord in the Venom Inc crossover- and she quits being a crimelord in those issues AGAIN. Venom Inc is definitely after Secret Empire- the Secret Empire issues of Amazing Spider-Man are 29-31, and the Venom Inc issues of Amazing Spider-Man are 792-793. (Amazing Spider-M...

Re: CIVIL WAR II to SECRET EMPIRE

Ha - yes, indeed. Even exposure to super-powers. In fact, Aunt May seems to be getting younger. Must be a side-effect from her blood-transfusion with Spidey. Although i have a theory that Aunt May was originally drawn as young Peter saw her in his mind's eye, as in to a 15yo, everyone over 30 is re...

Re: Avengers #22 or Fantastic Four Annual #3

It's not a flashback- Thor doesn't interact with any of the other characters in this issue. Non sequitur. Thor's lack of interaction with other characters has no bearing on whether or not it's a flashback. What I meant was this- if Thor interacted with Hawkeye on page 2 and then appeared on page 15...
