After Battle of the Atom & before Goblin Nation:
All New X-Men #18 -- immediately after BOTA
Uncanny X-Men v3 #15
Wolverine & the X-Men #38-40
Avengers v5 #24 (6-17) -- Cap considers booting de-powered Logan and Spidey too
Superior Spider-Man #22-26 -- Spidey quits Avengers
Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #9-10 -- Daredevil appears; Spidey learns Goblin is his enemy
Wolverine v6 #2-FB -- Logan booted from Avengers; Spidey has quit; fight against Goblin's lackeys

Daredevil v3 #31-36 (DD's ID revealed) follow SuSMTU 9-10 but unsure if before or after Goblin Nation

Goblin Nation:
Superior Spider-Man #27-29

Added Paul. I placed Daredevil After Goblin Nation because the FF have their new Red uniforms. I think most of the 2nd wave Marvel Now are going to broadly occur after Goblin Nation.

OK, sounds good. We're assuming that the red uniforms make their chronologically earliest appearance in FF5 1, but there's no reason (yet) to assume otherwise.

Thunderbolts v2 #20-22 should occur just after Infinity (certainly before Battle of the Atom, time-wise).

Uncanny X-Men v3 #17-18 happen at the same time as ANX 22-24/GOTG3 11-13, so let's add that to the time after Battle of the Atom and before Goblin Nation.

There are other comics I can place before or after comics on the list, but I can't slot them definitively into the outlined time periods. For example, Marvel Knights X-Men #1-5 occur before W5 1, but I'm not sure if it should go before Infinity. Amazing X-Men v2 #1-4 occur after Battle of the Atom, but I don't know where they sit relative to Goblin Nation.

Anyone else care to contribute?

I've gone in and added the titles Alphabetically that fall during an event. I'm gonna go through and make sure the titles are the same between events and then we can add a title at a time alphabetically and make sure we didn't miss any. Hopefully it will be easier on the eyes and get more people involved. Once we have them all up we can begin evaluating them by section.

One thing we did have before the alphabetical reorganization was a pretty good chronological sequence. We already know some stories happen before or after other stories within each section*, and if our goal is to establish a chronological spine, we need to maintain that knowledge somehow. I think we should also include substantial flashbacks set at points in time other than the main story, such as those in W6 2-3. This approach would save some time in the long run and may actually assist the placement of titles as they're added.

*One example:
A5 24 (6-17) > SuSM 22-26 > SuSMTU 9-10 > W6 2-FB/W6 3-FB

I'm open to ideas about how we might do this.

How about i put up major plot points along side the run of issues. Just for a quick glance to help with placement.

like.

All-New X-Men v1 #1-13 (Beast gets mutated, Havok gives speech on mutants, Angel (past) joins New Xavier School)
Wolverine and the X-Men v1 #19-28 (Storm gets Mohawk, ect..)

I didn't want to get into to many chronological points until we break it down into smaller groups. but I can see your point about having major beats. It just becomes very cumbersome to add in everybody's points of view as we go on a giant list.

I also don't want to miss any titles. This is just a "rough" list.

Let's give that a shot and see how it looks. Maybe bold the titles to make them stand out.

That should cover all the "A" comics from 2013. Any help that you could provide with brief placement clues would be appreciated, then well move on to the next letter, which will be "C" since there are no "B" comics in 2013.

Is there a list of all titles released in 2013 elsewhere on the Internet? That way we can help list by each letter and get this list going.
