TM:BB & Q 34

[Col_Fury]

Tales of the Marvels: Blockbuster spans several years (from FF 259-260 to Operation: Galactic Storm), and overlaps with Quasar #34. Silver Surfer, Kingpin and Maltese all appear in more than one spot.

TM:BB takes place between pages of FF 259 and FF 260, not between FF 259-260. Also, Dr. Doom’s not doing anything in TM:BB to make him -BTS, there’s just a reference to his involvement in the fight, which we see in FF 260. Also also, Human Torch isn’t doing anything in TM:BB to make him -BTS, he hasn’t shown up yet in FF 259 for the Thing/Terrax portion, and Terrax has already moved past him for the Silver Surfer/Terrax portion. What’s that? What about the Fantastic Four flare seen on page 4? Well, the Invisible Girl shot that off, and we see her fire it in FF 260. So there.

TM:BB takes place between pages of IM 286, not between IM 285-286. Dr. Pym is just off-panel during this fight.

Also, there’s a recurring character in both TM:ID and TM:BB; a homeless woman named Sunshine Mary.
