AVX chronology
Posted: Sat Nov 17, 2012 2:47 pm
Here are my notes for AVX chronology, including some comics not directly tied to AVX but which must occur at the same time. Here's part 1...
AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1 (1-14)
One day. This segment must occur after FF 608 (19-20), X3 37, and AvAs 8. This segment occurs “weeks” before AVX 12-FB (2-5). The Phoenix Force consumes a planet on its way to Earth. From atop Avengers Tower, the Avengers see something plummet to Earth and crash into a plane and the Empire State Building. Thor brings the plane to a safe landing while Iron Man and Spidey protect people from the debris of the top of the stricken building. They discover that the plummeting object is the new Nova (Sam Alexander), who warns the heroes that “it’s coming.”
AVENGERS VS. X-MEN #1 (15-22)
The “morning” after NA2 24-FB. This segment must occur after UX2 10. At Utopia, Cyclops pushes Hope’s training too far and the frustrated Hope displays the sigil of the Phoenix and inadvertently knocks Scott for a loop. Cap and Iron Man report on the coming of the Phoenix to the president and his advisors at the White House and note that he’s assembled a team to intercept and destroy the Phoenix. As they speak, they detect Hope’s Phoenix energy signature. The depiction of Thor’s space team is purely illustrative; they don’t make actual appearances here, especially since Beast hasn’t been recruited yet.
WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN #9 (1:1-13:4)
The same day as AVX 1 (15-22). Given Kid Gladiator’s chronology, this segment must occur after NM3 49 and W&X 17-FB (13-16). The Phoenix Force destroys Andromeda 9. The recovered Logan and Beast respond to a deep space alarm at the Jean Grey School, where Kitty teaches a class. Cap shows up at the school, and after facing a malfunctioning Danger Room program, he’s greeted by Logan and Beast. Warbird gets a broken-up message from Gladiator warning that the Phoenix is coming. During a flying class at the school, Husk refuses to talk to Cannonball about the recent trouble with her powers. Quentin Quire and Rachel both detect the coming Phoenix and pass out.
