Fascinating. You almost made me forget that I already said this EIGHT TIMES!!!Somebody wrote:Unfortunately, he's kinda right if you take the armour's appearances as sacrosanct, even if it IS a Bendis-level continuity trainwreck that requires the cross-referencing of umpteen comics.
The basic problem's what he said (in a post I didn't actually notice, Doot - the reason you shouldn't post twice in a row!) - Psylocke appears in UX@ 12 [Evolutionary War pt 7] in her armour. Hulk appears in A@ 17 [Evolutionary War pt 11], which is led directly into by H2 350 and which in turn leads straight into H2 351. The Hulk/Banner night/day status quo is only reestablished at the end of H2 352 (#351-352 are mostly a FB story explaining how Banner got locked away, just as the spell finally wears off). Hulk changes to Banner in the day as a plot point in the Wolverine issues, and he's on his way to Madripoor with that status quo by the time Tyger is out of the armour in W2 7.
Yeah, that's the stuff!Somebody wrote: Basically, Doot's way involves running the story as:
W2 6
W2 7 (3:1-5:3)
W2 7 (9:3-11:3)
W2 7 (12:5-14:6)
[break]
W2 7 (1-2)
W2 7 (5:4-9:2)
W2 7 (11:4-12:4)
W2 7 (15-22)
W2 8
That is, ripping the issue to shreds as well as punching a gap in it.
The thing is, it's not as complicated as it looks, really.
Well, I guess it is. But again, it's just 1.) punch a gap in Wolverine 7, and 2.) shove all the Hulk scene into the latter part of the gap.
Because in X-Men 232, we see Maddie trying to design a new symbol for the X-Men. She is all alone, talking to herself, and at the end she comes up with an eight-pointed-star design. She says it "has potential," and it is clear she hasn't shown this design to the X-Men yet.Somebody wrote: Now, firstly, is there any particular reason that UX@ 12 must go after UX 232-234, as it's currently?
So Doot, tell me why that's impossible
In X-Men Annual 12, at the end of the Savage Land adventure, the X-Men leave behind a sigil with their eight-pointed star on it.
They can't leave the symbol behind before Maddie designs it.
Quod erat something something ...
Good point, good point. Still you have to admit, the dialogue makes a nice dovetail with the "gap in issue 7" theory!Somebody wrote: [Oh, and the reference is to "last month", not "a month ago", Doot. I'm going to do a Paul B, and say that W2 5 takes place at the end of a month, and W2 8 is at the start of the following month. ]
Edit: I don't know what I am doing wrong with the quote function. Is the above just impossible to read?
