Wolverine: Son of Canada - where does it fit?
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 4:45 pm
In April 2001, Marvel put out a custom comic called Wolverine: Son of Canada. I'm doing an Index write-up for it, and I'd like to give all the characters who appear chronologies as if the issue were canon.
(Given this board's ongoing back-and-forth unresolved conversation about giveaway books, I'm not trying to say that this issue IS canon, and I'm not trying to say that it ISN'T. And I *do not* want to sidetrack this thread by re-starting that conversation here and now. I just want to determine where this issue would fit IF it was canon.)
The heroes that appear here are Captain America, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Spider-Man, Storm, Thing, Thor and Wolverine. The villains are Blastaar, his Darkforce-powered henchmen, and the Green Goblin (bts, Spider-Man says he was in hot pursuit of the Goblin when he's teleported away). Storm is in her second "Revolution"-era costume. All other characters are in their classic, standard looks and status quos. (Though we don't see the Goblin on-panel, so no evidence for him.)
An April 2001 publication date is the same month as W2 #161, the end of a story arc. Perfect for Wolverine, but who knows about the others. Wolvie next appears in X #109 -- and Storm receives a new costume in that issue (her "X-Treme" look) -- so we should probably keep this issue before X #109.
Does a placement between W2 #161 and X #109 work for all other characters involved? Or do we need to slide it back father? The earliest it should go is UXM #383, where Storm's second Revolution costume first appears ... that's a six month window. Can it be done?
