Why is Sins Remembered placed after Marvel Knights Spider-Man #12?

Post by AlexEvangeli »

Sins Remembered (Spec vol.2 #23-26) is placed after Marvel Knights Spider-Man #12 on the chronology.

In Spec v2 #24 Peter comments that Norman Osborn is locked up in a private jail cell, implying the story occurs at some point during Marvel Knights: Spider-Man #1-12 when Norman Osborn was in prison. However I know one astute Spider-Man fan who also feels Sins Remembered clearly doesn't happen during the storyline.

According to the chronology Sins Past (which Sins Remembered is a sequel to) IS placed during Marvel Knights (I'm presuming because of the appearance of Norman in a jail cell in ASM #514, although his cell in MK looked different) so I was just wondering what about the storyline causes to be placed post-Marvel Knights

Reason: Disambiguating title. There actually IS a "Marvel Knights #12"! http://www.comics.org/issue/86097/

I don't see how that would imply SSM2 24 happens somewhere during M/KSM 1-12, specifically. Osborn was in prison from M/KSM 1-12 up to the Civil War crossover. If he's in prison, it could happen anywhere from 2004-2007, right?

If I recall correctly, SSM2 15-20 has to happen after M/KSM 1-12 because of the Avengers. If SSM2 15 has to be after M/KSM 1-12, then SSM2 23-24 would also have to be after M/KSM 1-12. M/KSM 1-12 -> SSM2 15 -> SSM2 23-24, right?

Unless I'm missing something?

Osborn escapes from prison in Marvel Knights Spider-Man 12 but he's back in prison in Civil War: Frontline 2. I don't have Civil War: Frontline 2 in front of me- could someone check to see if the issue makes clear whether Norman was recently recaptured? If it doesn't, we can just say that Norman was recaptured whenever we want.

Thanks!

Here's Green Goblin's current chronology from this period, with some notes:

M/KSM 12
SSM2 23 (in prison)
SSM2 24 (in prison)
SM:HOM 1 (reality warp)
SM:HOM 2 (so)
SM:HOM 3 (it)
SM:HOM 4 (doesn't)
SM:HOM 5 (matter)
BP4 16 (in prison)
ASM 533 (in prison)
CW:FL 2/3 (in prison)

I must have completely forgotten that he escapes prison in M/KSM 12, but since every appearance he has between M/KSM 12 and Civil War, he's in prison, he must have been recaptured pretty quickly.
