Assemblage of Avatars

In the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A-Z Hardcover #7: MAGIC entry, there was mention of numerous powerful mystics attending the Assemblage of Avatars in Atlantis around 19,000 BC to find a solution for the current conflicts between the Elder Gods. This is the one OHOTMU I do not have. Wo...

First mention of Star Trek in the MU

In the X-Men/Star Trek crossovers, it was revealed that the Star Trek Universe is a parallel universe to the MU. Is anyone aware of the earliest reference to Star Trek itself in the Marvel Universe (such as perhaps a tongue in cheek reference to Beast as "Dr. McCoy")?

Re: Alternative Calendar Dating for Marvel Universe

Another not necessarily Marvel Universe proper, I have uncovered some other alternative calendar systems that could be used within the MU. 1/ For the Hyborian era stories of Conan and Red Sonja (which occurred c. 10,000 BC), there was no official calendar system ever developed by author Robert E. Ho...

End of the Universe

Are there any Marvel comics that state when the universe itself will end? Not the crisis of the week megalomaniacal villain ending of the universe. Just the regular good old fashioned Entropy or Big Crunch kinda ending.

Ragnarok Cycles

I have a few questions regarding the Asgardians and their Ragnarok cycles. 1/ There was one about 2000 years ago (the light of the destruction of Asgard was purported to be the Star of Bethlehem) and there was another one in the modern era. Do we have any references as to when any earlier ones occur...

Current CONAN and RED SONJA comics

Are the current Red Sonja comics published by Dynamite Entertainment considered a continuation of the original Marvel series? Was the recent Red Sonja/Spider-Man crossover canon, and did it reference their original team-up in Marvel Team-Up #79? There was another recent crossover with Claw the Uncon...

GeoCities is closing

Hey gang. I am sorry to have to say this. I just found out that GeoCities is closing on October 26, 2009. There are a lot of great Marvel related websites that are on there. Here is my list for some of the best sites you may want to grab before they are gone forever. http://www.geocities.com/genders...

Re: Queen Elizabeth II

Well according to the MCP under "Q" her chronology is as such:

QUEEN ELIZABETH II
X:TF 1
X:TF 2
X:TF 3
CB 37
CB 38
CB 39
SSM&CB 231/2
SSM&CB 232/2-BTS
X:TF 3
DA 12

Her last appearance in Dark Angel #12 was in 1993. This may possibly be her last appearance before UX 448 in 2004.

Re: Alternative Calendar Dating for Marvel Universe

This is very probably NOT what you wanted but it's something that I found interesting. In Guardians of the Galaxy #2, Mantis informs the recently-arrived-from-the-future Vance Astrovik that the current date is as follows: "By the Shi'Ar calendar, it is sixty-eight thousand, the cycle of Bright...

Alternative Calendar Dating for Marvel Universe

I have researching other calendars used within the Marvel Universe. That is, we commonly use the Gregorian calendar (ie AD, BC), but there are others used, both common and uncommon, such as the Chinese and Hebrew calenders in terms of cultural calendars, or the Holocene and BP (Before Present) Calen...

Re: Nightcrawler's waterfall

Before XU 4 mentioned the waterfall, Nightcrawler was simply mentioned as having been found as an infant at a roadside shelter in the Bavarian Alps by Margali, with his father dead outside and his mother dying beside him, according to UX@ 4 and OHOTMU:DE 9.

With regards to a 2-page spreads within a comics, where either one large image covers two pages, do we consider this one or two pages in reviewing for the MCP. Alternatively, with another tow page spread when a row of panels stretches from the first page to the second page only to have the next row ...

Re: Punisher's family's names - where were they revealed?

To my knowledge, the Max series was disavowed as Earth-616 canon in a recent letters section of the series, but the recent OHOTMU Hardcovers for both Microchip and Punisher still count the Max events in their histories.
