Falcon's family

Post by Russ Chappell »

I'm cleaning up the early chronologies for Sam Wilson and his family, based on flashbacks in ANCA 1-6.

This is how things play out so far:

A6 1 (30:5) Mother Darlene & infant Sam
CA 277/2 (2:4 - 2:6) Father Paul, Darlene, Sister Sarah & Sam
FAL2 3 (1 - 2:2) Paul & Sam at Uncle Rashon's funeral
ANCA 1 (1:1 - 1:2) Paul & 14-year-old Sam
ANCA 2 (1:1 - 1:7) Sam sees Paul shot
ANCA 1 (1:3) Sam holds Paul
ANCA 2 (1:8) Sam comforts Paul
CA 277/2 (2:9) Sam, Darlene, Sarah & Brother Gideon at Paul's graveside service
ANCA 6 (15:4 - 15:8) Darlene comforts Sam
CA 117 (17:4) Sam trains birds on Harlem rooftop
CA 277/2 (3:1 - 3:5) While 15-year-old Sam sings at youth group, Gideon & Sarah witness Darlene's murder
ANCA 1 (1:4) Sam, Sarah & Gideon at Darlene's funeral
CA 277/2 (3:6) Sam, Sarah & Gideon at Darlene's graveside service
ANCA 3 Sam reads to Sarah & Gideon
CA 277/2 (3:7) Sarah & Sam argue
CA 117 (18:1 - 18:3) Sam meets Redwing

I have removed a portion of the flashback in CA 277/2 (2:7 - 2:8) because the details of Paul's murder conflict with ANCA 2. ANCA is Sam's flashback, and he was on the scene. CA 277/2 is Sarah's retelling, but she wasn't there. Also, this flashback was misidentified in multiple Wilson chronologies, sometimes listed as 177/2 and other times as 227/2, but they were all 277/2.

I've placed the 1-panel scene from CA 117 of Sam with birds where I have, because I think it could be the result of Darlene's encouragement in ANCA 6, but before bitterness over his mother's murder sets in.

Finally, I'm leaving CA 186-FB in Falcon's chronology for the time being. Wasn't this later retconned? Or is one small portion of that flashback genuine?
