Conquests & Nova are coming, they're just taking a bit longer than I expected . I want to post them, if not in one splurge, at least close to one another...

You've been waiting all year to use that on May 1st, haven't you?Paul Bourcier wrote:Mayday! Mayday!
Wolverine v3 #66-73 is set in a possible future, and will most likely not qualify for Project listings. There's always the possibility that there will be a present day framing sequence, so you might as well put me down for these.
Ghost Rider v6 #20-23 has been a HUGE improvement over the previous nineteen issues, and I will happily be put down for these.
I've been doing them lately, so you might as well put me down for Daredevil v2 #107-110, with the open option for Kevin to reclaim them if he wishes.
And I'm sure I'll surprise you with a few others as they come out.

Re: May call for analyses
I just thought I'd mention that Jeph offered to analyze Daredevil: Dead on Arrival, which would go under Completed Stories.

Full title is "Devil & Capitan America: Doppia Morte".
Gimme a few days.

Re: May call for analyses
Thor: Ages of Thunder 1 is out, but it's to be continued in Thor: Reign of Blood in June. Also, I could have sworn this was set to be a series of three one-shots. Anyway, I'm not sure if it can be properly analyzed until all of them are out. If it helps, part of Ages of Thunder 1 takes place during the third Ragnarok, and the rest takes place during the eleventh Ragnarok. However that works.Paul Bourcier wrote:Thor: Ages of Thunder - Reign of Blood
And no, I'm not volunteering yet. But hey, feel free to put me down for Wolverine: Origins #26-27.

Basically, the two stories in the first book are the same story in different cycles, with each Ragnarok cycle ended by the reset button getting hit, and being in different cycles they go somewhat differently (basically, Frost Giant in disguise wants the Enchantress, Loki aids that, Odin makes Loki undo what he did, Thor smashes the FG's head in - but the details are very different).http://uk.comics.ign.com/articles/859/859919p1.html
"IGN Comics: What we're hearing so far is that the series deals with the past, present, and future of Thor. Can you clarify what that means?
Fraction: Yeah. It's really out-of-continuity, all about the cyclical, "the more things change the more they stay the same" nature of the Norse myths. Ragnarok happened,... and the whole cycle began again. We're looking at these same stories through different eras, with different looks and different experiences and different ways of looking at it that we've never seen before.
All of this actually predates Thor in a way. One of the stories is about an angry and petulant teenager, sort of a brutal Thor who is so disconnected from his humanity that Odin cursed him with a human life."
So the Thor is not the Thor we know, but an earlier version of him [and characters get merged and separated, so that Idunn is the R11 Enchantress rather than Amora]. The presence of a relatively modern human (yes, Frost Giant in disguise, but none of the gods are shocked at the concept) in the R3 cycle implies that the whole Nine Worlds got reset at the end of a cycle (more in tune with the original Norse myths IIRC) [and that if "our" Thor hadn't smashed the Norns' weaving and stopped the reset during the last Ragnarok, Midgard would have been reset too].

Re: May call for analyses
Continued thanks to our volunteers. I updated the call and decided to delete Thor: Ages of Thunder/Reign of Blood from the calendar call list as it seems to have little relevance to post-FF 1 chronology (not to say that it isn't needed for the MCP).

PS: The Knaufs' Eternals series is v4 (v1 = Kirby, v2 = 1985 maxi, v3 = Gaiman)
