Wouldn't pp.1-8 be the present-day stuff, and everything else be the flashback?

If by [introduction] you mean this is their first appearances, you are incorrect in most of those cases.

Not sure if Reese is a new character - if he's a pre-existing one I can't place him off the top of my head. And I think Winsor is new.

Two others also in the issue.

Scavenger http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/scaveng2.htm
Yi Yang http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix/yiyang.htm

The one with the patched eye may be Immortalis http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix2/immortalismg.htm but he has the patch on the wrong side since it was his left eye he lost.

It is Immortalis. Chalk the patch being on the wrong side as down to an art error.

So can we get an updated analysis, with a complete list of characters and chronology notes, an indication of what part really is the flashback, a sense of time passage within the issue (and any references to other events in the MU, if there), and a sense of the plot?

Well, in his dialogue with Reese in the car he talks about the guys calling him a dog which is what the guys in page 1-8 did, so I assume pages 9 to the end occur after and that pages 1-8 is Wolverine telling a past story to the driver.

At this point, it's still mysterious so don't start asking for a clear sense of what's going on. We'll find out more as the next issues arrive.
In that case, I recommend waiting until the mini is wrapped up and then submitting an analysis of the whole thing. Thanks.

If I had waited I would not have benefited from others' remarks and contributions. I'll make it known when I have a complete storyline likeI have with the other series I've been keeping track of. Be patient. Thanks

Actually, you would have just benefited from them later.

I also vote for waiting until arcs are done before submitting reviews. It's a good practice in general.
