Re: Avengers Back to Basics- canon?

Thanks for the response. I finished reading the rest of Avengers: Back to Basics, but I still don't quite get it. Is the idea that, in the last issue, Kamala's future much older self somehow uses Dr. Doom's time machine to send Kamala back to the very beginning, before any of the events of any of th...

Re: Avengers Back to Basics- canon?

I was trying to figure out if this story could possibly have occurred at a much, much later time, after Hulk rejoined the team, but that was a fairly recent event, whereas the first part of the flashback says "way back when." But Iron Man is in one of his newer suits of armor, which he did...

Re: Igor Drenkov in IH2 393 and H:WG?

I prefer the name "Drenkov" which I think was first used in the (imaginary) flashback in IH2 145.

It seems to me that the appearance in IH2 393 should be included. I'm not familiar with the Winter Guard story.

Avengers Back to Basics- canon?

I've been reading Avengers: Back to Basics by Peter David. Unfortunately, it seems to me that the first two issues, fun as they are, are probably not canon. First of all, Thor knows that Hulk is Bruce Banner. However, Thor was plainly ignorant of Hulk's identity at this point (as were the rest of th...

Re: Uatu (Watcher) in IH2 473-474

Sorry, folks. I re-read the issues more carefully (had only glanced at them before to refresh my memory) and it appears that the Watcher in this story is not Uatu, as he doesn't recognize Hulk or Banner and talks about taking a wife who recently died. I was wondering why I never got a response to th...

Re: Savage Hulk (1996) problems

Honestly, the first time I read this story, I didn't think it was canon, but I really enjoyed it. I just viewed it as just a humorous and clever story. For example, the female juror flirting with Hulk is obviously supposed to be Bobby Chase, former editor on the series. When I saw it in the Chronolo...

Uatu (Watcher) in IH2 473-474

I noticed that Uatu's appearances in IH2 473-474 weren't listed in his entry. Since this is shortly post-Heroes Return, my guess would be to place it as follows: Uatu ... FF 416/2 ONS:M/U HR 0.5 FF2 7 KZ3 10 M/TU2 5 IM2 11 CA2 12 FF3 7 SM 94 DP3 24 HR:REMNANTS * IH2 473 * IH2 474 X51 12 AV:CS 1 FF '...

Savage Hulk (one-shot) possible additions

I was reviewing Savage Hulk (one-shot, 1996) and saw that, in the entry, the characters in the courtroom sequence are listed. I noted a few possible omissions of villains: Currently, the following villains are listed: ABOMINATION/EMIL BLONSKY ABSORBING MAN/CARL "CRUSHER" CREEL ANNIHILUS AN...

Hulk and Doc Samson chronology

I had a few questions about Hulk and Doc Samson. Recently, I have been trying to get caught up in my Hulk reading, and I started with Loeb's run (not my favorite run, but that's beside the point). Hulk chronology currently states: HULK ... H2 9 IHRC 126/2 MA 21 MA 22 MA 23 * H2 10 * H2 11 * H2 12 * ...

Professor X in X 130

I don't mean to nitpick, but I came across what appears to be a (very) minor error in Professor X's chronology. I was reviewing his history prior to Secret Wars II (just as a refresher) and see that he left to outer space with Lilanda in X 117, decided to return to Earth in X 125, and actually meets...

Re: Stick in W2 113-FB?

Quite true, Stick does seem to have at least some mystical abilities. But I kind of doubt he would learn his combat skill from the Ancient One, which is why I suggested that the AO may have been only one of several 'consultants' or teachers for Stick.

Re: Stick in W2 113-FB?

Thanks, that was very helpful. Nice to see confirmation in an Index of something the Project had already postulated. I still find it slightly odd, though. It would suggest that Stick learned from the mighty Ancient One himself, who already looks grizzled here. But the Ancient One ain't a martial art...

Stick in W2 113-FB?

I had a question about Stick's chronology. He is listed as appearing in DD 349-350 and W2 100 & 105, after his apparent death in DD 190. This never seems to be explained anywhere, so I assume it is left a bit ambiguous whether this is the 'real' Stick, some illusion, some demonic entity posing a...
