SM/XF:SG
Posted: Thu May 15, 2008 11:40 am
The current listing for this mini presents a problem for Flash Thompson. His current chronology has it placed-
ASMU 2-BTS
PPTSS 204
PPTSS 205
PPTSS 207
SM/XF:SG 1-FB
SM/XF:SG 1
SM/XF:SG 2
SM/XF:SG 3
PPTSS 209/2
PPTSS 210/2
ASMU 6/3
However, PPTSS 207 has Flash in the hospital recovering from an attack by Tombstone. He is still there in PPTSS 209/2 and not discharged until PPTSS 210/2 (but still in a cast). This would require the minor adjustment to move that story in Spidey-related chronologies to before PPTSS 204 (the start of the previously mentioned Tombstone storyline). I don't think this should effect the placement for the X-Factor characters.
An alternative argument could be made to move SM/XF:SG after PPTSS 210/2. But, during SM/XF:SG, Pete and Flash are acting like old buddies. The problem with that is found in an exchange between Peter and Flash in PPTSS 207. During his recuperation, Flash tells Peter he has reflected on their friendship and essentially "breaks-up" with him. (This development effectively removes Flash as a supporting character from the Spidey books until after the clone saga resolves itself.) For that reason it makes much more sense to move the placement the other way.
So, I would suggest the following adjustments-
THOMPSON, EUGENE "FLASH"

The only discussion I could find for this mini-series was the original issue ananlysis-

** Another minor change added here is Spidey's appearance in his 1995 Holiday issue. SMHS 1995/5-FB takes place on a christmas just prior to the clone saga . I suggest moving this FB next to another Christmas story. Its current placement (between S-M 44 and Shroud 1) seems like a clear error. S-M 44 takes place on the anniversary of Uncle Ben's death (suggested to be April 1) and none of the surrounding issues even appear to be in winter.
