Chronology: Engagement of Reed and Sue to Defeat of Galactus

[StrayLamb]

There is a scene in TTA 97 displaying the X-Men fighting pterodactyls as they arrive in the Savage Land in X-Men 10. However the original scene did not establish that Ka-Zar and Zabu were observing them at that moment. In X-Men 10, both only show up on page 9 after the Swamp Men have captured Marvel Girl.

Though it is a minor detail, I would still make this change to the listing:
X-Men 10 (1 - 7:2)
Tales to Astonish 97 (5:3)-FB
X-Men 10 (7:3 - 21)

I generally only include single panel flashbacks if they're of some importance, but this probably qualifies, so i'll add that in. Thanks.

A few more updates have been applied in BOLD, including placement of some Patsy Walker & Patsy and Hedy issues.

Updates applied in BOLD.

[Leoparis]

ASM 900/4 shows the Green Goblin with his flying broomstick, which would narrow your window to ASM 14-17. What's the earlier spring?

[StrayLamb]

Good point. I've moved it back to between ASM 14 & UTSM 15 in Birth of the Avengers to Engagement of Reed & Sue.
