Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2008 1:18 pm
Here is my compilation of a chronology of events surrounding the "current" scenes in the recent SECRET INVASION series, from a point just prior to the military invasion through Requiem, including tie-ins and other stories that should occur within this time period. Blank lines indicate breaks between days.
[BTS]
The day before CM6 5 (16-22). Stark appears on TV to state that Captain Marvel was never back from the dead but rather was a time traveler from the past.
SHE-HULK v4 #30 – FB
One day. This flashback occurs after H3 115. Jen accepts an offer from the DA’s office to fight a giant Bran Murphy in return for the dropping of all charges against her and the release of cellmate Monique. Hercules arrives and fights the big Bran, who Herc reveals to be a Celtic god who he encountered in a bar while on his quest for Athena with Cho. Jazinda goes to Bran’s house, where the real Bran Murphy suffers from serving as host for the god. Bran tells Jaz that the Celtic god was responsible for the New York building explosion and is working with others ro tear She-Hulk down and remake her. When Herc beheads the big Bran, Murphy recovers. The Celtic god’s essence moves to a new host, Monique. Green grass and trees in Ohio.
SHE-HULK v4 #30
The same day as S-H4 30-FB. This story occurs before H3 116 and XF3 33. She-Hulk and Herc have sex in her trailer. Jaz returns to the trailer and senses “the talisman” “less than two hundred miles away.” Jen and Jaz take off, leaving Herc to be picked up by Athena and Cho. Green trees in Ohio.

The same day as S-H4 30. As she races toward Detroit, Jazinda tells Jen that the Skrulls are coming “soon and the two get into a fight about Jazinda’s withholding the information.

When Val calls Jamie to give him an assignment, he tells her to back off while they look for Darwin. The Longshot Skrull spots Jazinda and flees. She pursues him while Darwin tries to help his presumed friend. Jazinda threatens Darwin and is attacked by Monet, who in turn is charged by She-Hulk. Green trees in Detroit.
SHE-HULK v4 #31
The same day as XF3 33 and “several hours” after S-H4 31-FB. Jen battles Monet and Guido. Jazinda prepares to blast Nogor, but Darwin intervenes and the Longshot imposter flees. As Madrox attacks She-Hulk, Monet catches up to Darwin and Nogor and when Darwin relates Jazinda’s claim that “Longshot” is a Skrull, M fails to detect Nogor as a Skrull. However, Darwin himself causes Nogor to drop his disguise, and the Skrull blasts Monet.
X-FACTOR v3 #34
The same day as S-H4 31. As Theresa and Rictor talk to Darwin’s father, She-Hulk shakes free of Madrox and tells him and Guido that Longshot’s a Skrull. Meanwhile, Nogor tells Darwin he’s the missing link between Skrull and human. Jazinda confronts Nogor, then Monet attacks him. She-Hulk, Madrox, and Strong Guy join in, and Darwin finally decides to fight the Skrull. She-Hulk clocks Nogor and Jaz slaps a nullifier on him.

NOVA v4 #13
One day. As Galactus prepares to feed on the planet Orbucen, a psychic being called Harrow uses the time to possess people and commit mass slaughter on the would-be evacuees. At the office of the Central City Adjudik, Nova's been called in to help with the evacuation. The Adjudik estimates that the planet has twelve hours left and wants him to escort the aristocracy to the ships. Nova gets mad, deciding to help the "underclasses" instead. As they fly, Worldmind's relieved that Nova's not trying to fight Galactus. Rich admits there's nothing he could do. He encounters Harrow's trail of blood, and traps it in a gravimetric node. The Adjudik is less than impressed that Nova stopped to "arrest a lone killer." “Hours” later, the last of the ships is boarded. The ark's drive hasn't ignited though, and a call to the Adjudik confirms that all the drives are failing as a byproduct of Galactus' feeding. As Nova, much to the Worldmind's displeasure, flies to try and delay Galactus, the Adjudik has been infected by Harrow. Nova's pleas are cut off when the Silver Surfer grabs him by the throat.
NOVA v4 #14
The same day as NO4 13. Nova is whacked around by the Surfer, as Galactus completely ignores him. Eventually, the Surfer crashes him down towards the planet and finally acknowledges him. He says that "his master" wouldn't appreciate him fraternizing with "lower life forms." After Nova pleads his case, the Surfer shields the drives with a blink and flies off. The first wave of ships launches, and the Worldmind says the final evacuation will be complete in ten minutes. Nova goes to collect Harrow, and the Worldmind stresses urgency. Nova discovers another trail of bodies and demands the Worldmind track down Harrow, against the Worldmind's explicit warnings. Still in the Adjudik's body, Harrow cuts down people. Rich starts fighting, as the Worldmind screams that they need to get out immediately. The Ark launches, frying Nova and Harrow's body. Nova recovers after a minute or two, but Harrow's host body was shredded. The Worldmind informs him that they're trapped, as Galactus descends to feed.
NOVA v4 #15
The same day as NOVA3 14. Nova tries to keep ahead of Galactus' scouring beams as the Worldmind yells that they're doomed. When Nova proposes to use the energy syphons to fly through, the Worldmind completely loses it and yells that he's insane. When they enter, it says it's burning out. Nova manages to fly through the wall of the storage reservoir, but it’s too late. The Worldmind's apparently gone. A backup user support system kicks in, and a scan reveals that Harrow is apparently on board. Nova traces him down to its' real, insect-like body. As it grabs Rich, Nova sees that it stowed aboard Galactus' ship during the Trial of Galactus. He manages to break its' grip, and fights his way to the main deck. The Surfer, annoyed, descends, and Rich tells him to read Harrow's mind. Surfer erases the "cone of psilence" that kept Harrow hidden from Galactus, and Galactus wipes it out. As he turns his gaze to Rich, Rich panics and finds himself alive, teleported five light years away. The Surfer tells him that Galactus won't spare him again, and departs. Rich is left alone to count the cost of his heroics – Worldmind's still offline. He asks the user support for a list of distress calls and picks one.

At the office of the Central City Adjudik, Nova's been called in to help with the evacuation. The Adjudik estimates that the planet has twelve hours left and wants him to escort the aristocracy to the ships. Nova gets mad, deciding to help the "underclasses" instead. As they fly, Worldmind's relieved that Nova's not trying to fight Galactus. Rich admits there's nothing he could do. He encounters Harrow's trail of blood, and traps it in a gravimetric node. The Adjudik is less than impressed that Nova stopped to "arrest a lone killer." “Hours” later, the last of the ships is boarded. The ark's drive hasn't ignited though, and a call to the Adjudik confirms that all the drives are failing as a byproduct of Galactus' feeding.

The first wave of ships launches, and the Worldmind says the final evacuation will be complete in ten minutes. Nova goes to collect Harrow, and the Worldmind stresses urgency. Nova discovers another trail of bodies and demands the Worldmind track down Harrow, against the Worldmind's explicit warnings. Still in the Adjudik's body, Harrow cuts down people. Rich starts fighting, as the Worldmind screams that they need to get out immediately. The Ark launches, frying Nova and Harrow's body.

Nova manages to fly through the wall of the storage reservoir, but it’s too late. The Worldmind's apparently gone. A backup user support system kicks in, and a scan reveals that Harrow is apparently on board. Nova traces him down to its' real, insect-like body. As it grabs Rich, Nova sees that it stowed aboard Galactus' ship during the Trial of Galactus. He manages to break its' grip, and fights his way to the main deck. The Surfer, annoyed, descends, and Rich tells him to read Harrow's mind. Surfer erases the "cone of psilence" that kept Harrow hidden from Galactus, and Galactus wipes it out. As he turns his gaze to Rich, Rich panics and finds himself alive, teleported five light years away. The Surfer tells him that Galactus won't spare him again, and departs. Rich is left alone to count the cost of his heroics – Worldmind's still offline. He asks the user support for a list of distress calls and picks one.
