Secret Wars II # 1 and Prof X
Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2017 5:34 pm
I was reading Secret Wars II (which I never really did before) in Tpb and came across what is possibly a minor error in the entry for Professor X. This tends to be supported by Magneto's present entry.
The present entries are as follows:
MAGNETO/MAGNUS/MAX EISENHARDT/"ERIC LENSHERR"/"MICHAEL XAVIER"
...
NM 21
UX 188
NM 23
NM 24
NM 26
NM 28
NM 29 (1 - 18)
UX 195-BTS
SECWARSII 1 (1 - 12)
NM 29 (19 - 24)
SECWARSII 1 (13 - 25)
UX 196
...
PROFESSOR X/CHARLES FRANCIS XAVIER
...
UX 193
NM 26
NM 27
NM 28 (1 - 22:3)
SECWARSII 1
NM 28 (22:4 - 25)
NM 29
[X:L2 3-FB]
UX 196
NA:ILLUM2 3
UX 200
...
I am referring to the scene in SECWARSII 1, pg. 5, where Xavier detects the Beyonder's presence on Earth then desperately sends distress signals to Captain America and Magneto before passing out. On pg. 6, Cap hears Xavier's telepathic warning. On pg. 10, Magneto contacts the X-Men and informs them of Xavier's telepathic warning (which they also heard) and rallies their assistance to also recruit the New Mutants.
In New Mutants # 28, the interlude between NM 28 (1-22:3) and NM 28 (22:4-25) involves Xavier resting, then getting up "much later." The current Project lists Xavier as appearing in Secret Wars II # 1 in that interlude. This seems reasonable to me, as Xavier later in the issue (pg. 25) refers to having already detected the Beyonder.
In New Mutants # 29, on pg. 17-18, Magneto is recovering from injuries suffered in New Mutants # 21 when Warlock inadvertently damaged Asteroid M. On pg. 18, he hears Xavier's telepathic warning and goes to recruit the X-Men against the Beyonder. (hence, his appearance in SWII 1 between pg. 18 and 19 of NM 29, which seems correct).
However, Xavier's only appearance in NM 29 is in his telepathic warning to Magneto (unless I'm missing something) on pg. 18. This would seem to occur after SW II 1, pg. 5, but before NM 28 (22:4-25) and also before SWII 1 pg. 10.
Accordingly, I suggest that Xavier's entry should be changed to the following:
PROFESSOR X/CHARLES FRANCIS XAVIER
...
NM 28 (1 - 22:3)
NM 29 (18)
SECWARSII 1
NM 28 (22:4 - 25)
...
Please let me know if Ithis makes sense, or if I'm missing something.
