Doctor Strange/Onlaught tie-in in XU 12
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 7:41 pm
Hello all!
I am currently reading the Doctor Strange appearances in late 1996 and early 1997. I am curious as to why the Doctor Strange appearance in XU 12, an Onslaught Impact crossover, is listed so late in the character's chronology.
In this issue, Doctor Strange travels to Xavier's mansion to investigate a disturbance in the mystic ether. The source, he discovers, is the crimson gem of Cytorrak with the Juggernaut imprisoned inside. Onslaught traps the Juggernaut within the gem at the end of X 54. As stated on page 36 of XU 12, it has only been about 48 hours since the Juggernaut was imprisoned that this story occurs. Doctor Strange only first discovers anything about Onslaught by using the Eye of Agamotto to replay the events of X 54.
I think this issue need to be placed sometime before Doctor Strange's appearance in TM/U 1. On the final pages of this issue, Strange reminisces about the heroes that were "killed" in the battle against Onslaught. This event definitely seems to occur after XU 12.
As always, thanks for listening! Lettsmonster
