KING IN BLACK
---
[Day 8 to Day 19 courtesy of Clive Reston's Hellfire Gala]
DAY 8:
King in Black ends in morning--probably Christmas morning, given the context of KiB: Iron Man/Doom (in which Doom must be a Doombot, thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy) and KiB: Immortal Hulk.

CHILDREN OF THE ATOM 4 (20): The Krakoan rescue team arrives.
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM 5 (4-15): Cyclops, Storm, Logan, Nightcrawler, Marvel Girl, Pixie present (so this can't be the next night--but the final scene of the issue can be two days later easily).

INFERNO 1 (27) = INFERNO 2 (4-5:1) - Sinister gives "Xavier" (who has a nosebleed? or eyebleed?) Destiny's DNA. (I've placed this here because it's a moment where Xavier is probably distracted.)

HELLIONS 13 is unlikely to be more than a day or so after the Gala, and 14 continues directly from it, and 15 directly from that (though it's nighttime in New York by then). And then 16 (1-5), at the end of which the X-Men show up--the earliest time, chronology-wise, that we get to see the new teem in action! (Might be that evening.)
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 15 (18-20): After S.W.O.R.D. 6, and "two days" after previous scene. The Last Annihilation begins.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 16 seems to be right after that. (Doom isn't present because he's having a "diplomatic dinner" in S.W.O.R.D. 7.)
S.W.O.R.D. 7 (1-16): Storm's comment to Doom about "our respective marriages" suggests that this is after Fantastic Four #34. (Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to work, as Paul O'Brien points out, thanks to contingencies involving FF #28, 31 and 35, as well as The Marvels. Whoops.)
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 17: "half an hour" after S.W.O.R.D. 7

THE LAST ANNIHILATION: WAKANDA is also probably this day. Manifold, T'Challa, Storm present.

CHILDREN OF THE ATOM 6 (13 - 16): The team fights Hordeculture.
X-MEN: THE TRIAL OF MAGNETO 2 (1-10): Krakoa, evidently the day after #1. Several members of the space team from New Mutants #21 are back in Krakoa. Iron Man (without his helmet), Captain America, Vision visit Krakoa.

NEW MUTANTS 21 (18-20): later the same day as pp. 6-17) --Illyana is present
NEW MUTANTS 22: continues from it; the "strategies and tactics" session goes on for at least six hours (and the final scene's at night during a storm)
HELLIONS 16 (8-10): Night is falling on Krakoa. Kwannon has "accepted the role of Captain" but apparently it hasn't been formally announced to the Council yet.
NEW MUTANTS 23 is immediately after #22.

DAY 17 ("Wednesday"):
HELLIONS 16 (11-20): Begins at dawn at the White Palace. Alex, Emma, Empath present. Emma tells Alex she's "asked the Council to reconsider" resurrecting Madelyne--since Alex wouldn't know there's already pressure to that effect from the Five.
HELLIONS 17 (1-2): Emma confronts Kwannon about "abandoning her post."
HELLIONS 17 (3-20): Orphan-Maker in Arizona, Mutant Base Zeta. The other Hellions follow.
HELLIONS 18 (3-6) -FB: The X-Men arrive on scene.
MARAUDERS 23: Still within a week of the Gala. Emma, Banshee, Jumbo Carnation, Kitty, Lockheed, Tempo.
WAY OF X 4 is not long after the Gala, and if we're looking for a reason why Xavier would not look into how exactly Hope got that Cerebro helmet she was using the day before, this issue provides a good one!
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM 6 (17-21): Daytime. The team has their I-think-we've-all-learned-something-today conversation.
CHILDREN OF THE ATOM 6 (22): That night. Eye-Boy greets Carmen on Krakoa. (Dialogue implies that this is a weekend, but also everyone's still wearing the same clothes as the previous scene.)

DAY 18 ("Thursday"):
WAY OF X 5 is probably the day after #4, still "mere days" after the Gala (Xavier is resurrected). Abigail Brand moves from the Peak to the Keep immediately after it.

[Clive_Reston]

Phew! My hat is off to you, StrayLamb, as always.

Note that S.W.O.R.D. Station One is not actually destroyed in S.W.O.R.D. 9-11 (it's restored to orbit in 11). Also, the cluster of X-Men Red 2-4, Marauders 1-5, X-Men 11-12, FCBD 2022: Avengers/X-Men 1/3, X-Men: Hellfire Gala 1, the associated Infinity Comics, Amazing Spider-Man 9 and Immortal X-Men 4 all happens in *very* short order--something like four days.

If you're looking for a place in the X-books where there can be a big ol' break for other things to take place, the period before Destiny of X starts (i.e. before Immortal X-Men 1) can be as long as it needs to be, pretty much.

At some point we're going to need to find some time for the Fantastic Four to be out of costume and out of New York for a while in their new series...

A broader note: I still think that all in-story calendar dates should be assumed to be topical references *unless* the story wouldn't make sense otherwise. Although I'm starting to wonder if calendar years in 616 might not be about 90 days long.

[StrayLamb]

Phew! My hat is off to you, StrayLamb, as always.

Well, thanks Agent Reston, and back at you for your rolling X-Books thread!

Thanks for that!

Hah, yes. I mentioned to someone recently that i'm pretty sure each Marvel month is only about 10 days long. As for the calendar dates, you know me, if it can work, i let it. I kinda don't completely trust the X-Men's internal chronology, but i always try to make it fit where possible. Ever since Cockrum and Claremont, the X-Men have tended to be written in their own little world, and the current run doesn't seem any different.

I bet you're looking at the entry for "X-Men Unlimited Infinite Comic 26 ["St. Patrick's Day" story with Banshee, Black Tom and Siryn][ March 17]" aren't you. I knew you'd pick up on that, and i was already preparing to duck for cover. If it can't work, we'll move it. I don't place calendar dates above all, as i hope you all realize. For instance, i couldn't place X-Men 4 on Halloween, where it's set, because FF 37 is also set on Halloween, and Peter Parker is still Spider-Man then, so that’s before the death of Dr Strange. I gave priority to FF 37 being on Halloween, as it was fairly central to the story. Also, i worked hard on making Feilong's trip to Mars work in the given timeframe. I admit i did have to make up my own little calandar to work some of those things out.

And so far, this list is mostly just my take on this period. Other people will need to add their contributions, and it could all get ripped apart yet. I did work quite hard on this though, so hopefully it doesn't get ripped up too much.

[Clive_Reston]

Hey, if St. Patrick's Day works out for that X-Men Unlimited, cool!

I wouldn't mind a bit if X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic sequences were given dispensation to happen out of order (since it's effectively an anthology and all), but for the record, the ones with significant placement considerations (beyond 5-12/X-Men Green 1-2, which is after the 2021 Gala):

22-25 ("a few weeks" after "Latitude")
29-33 (at some point after X-Men Green 1-2)
35-40 (during the period where Scott is Captain Krakoa)
44-49 (must be after 29-33, Sabretooth 1-5, Giant-Size X-Men: Thunderbird 1, and Marauders Annual 1; Sinister is on the Council)
50-55 (during the 2022 Gala)
60-61 (before Immortal X-Men 9, because Hope and Exodus are close)
62-67 (after AXE)
68-73 (sometime after 44-49; Sinister and Hope are both on the Council)
74 (sometime after X-Terminators 1-5)
80-85 (Nightcrawler has horns, so after Judgment Day and before Immortal X-Men 9)
86-90 ("weeks" after 68-73; Nightcrawler doesn't have horns but is still on the Council, so either this is out of sequence or it's going to have to go in a gap before the last couple of pages of X-Men: Before the Fall - Sons of X 1)

[DotStinks]

At some point we're going to need to find some time for the Fantastic Four to be out of costume and out of New York for a while in their new series...

Yeah, the current series is a continuous adventure, it's gonna probably be a while before the Baxter Building returns and the team returns to NYC with costumes.

The only post-AXE Fantastic Four appearances I've spotted are:

Crypt of Shadows 1/? [Johnny] (this can take place anywhere)
Damage Control 4 [Ben] (but this same issue features Kingpin & Green Goblin)
Iron Man 25 [Ben]
Mary Jane & Black Cat 1/2 [Ben] (easily can be earlier)
Some Love Unlimited Infinity Comics [Sue]
Captain America: Unforgiven (but I haven't read it)
ASM 26 ("early April")

Fantastic Four 1-8 are five months after an incident seen in FF 4-FB.

[StrayLamb]

Note that S.W.O.R.D. Station One is not actually destroyed in S.W.O.R.D. 9-11 (it's restored to orbit in 11).

So i guess what you're suggesting here is that SWORD 9-11 can be pushed back prior to Reckoning War, where you have it in your thread, is that right? The thing is, Reed speaks to Abigail Brand at SWORD Station One. You're way further ahead of me in reading the X-Books. Is it possible for Reed to contact Abigail Brand aboard SWORD Station One after the events of SWORD 9-11?

Yes, absolutely. She's mainly operating out of Station Two (the Keep) after Way of X #5, but she's definitely sometimes still on Station One--she's there in X-Men Red #8, in fact.

[StrayLamb]

Well, okay then. I've moved it up the list to where you have it in the X-Men thread, just before Devil's Reign.

[StrayLamb]

Recently added:

Amazing Spider-Man 60-66
Black Cat IV 4-7
Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade 1-5
Captain Marvel 22-36
Genis-Vell: Captain Marvel 1-5
Giant-Size Spider-Man: King's Ransom 1
Strange Academy 9-10

[Spurs91]

Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon 1-6 is all continuous.
Danny & Luke are hanging together at the start, suggesting Luke should know about the Starbrand baby...unless they just don't talk business.
Taskmaster appears in the first 2 issues.
In #3 Sunspot appears via Krakoan gate from space, where he's "basically running the place".
At the end, Danny loses his Iron Fist powers. So this all comes after any Avengers appearances where he still has powers.

He has his powers in King in Black as well as the King's Ransom arc in Amazing Spider-Man 61-65 & Giant-Size Amazing Spider-Man: King's Ransom, and has lost his powers by Devil's Reign. Heart of the Dragon belongs in the KING IN BLACK to AXE JUDGMENT DAY section, I think.

[StrayLamb]

The remaining issues of Amazing Spider-Man have been added (King's Ransom & Chameleon Conspiracy).

[Spurs91]

Started working through King In Black. One placing issue that stands out so far is Ghost Rider and Mephisto. In King In Black: Ghost Rider Blaze is still dragging Mephisto around with him, as he was when the last GR series ended #7, 2020). But Mephisto has been shown still in his Las Vegas cell in Conan: Battle for the Serpent Crown and...Avengers issues? There might be others as well. So that last GR volume may have to have all of its issues moved to just before KiB, or...it has to be taken that Blaze has been putting Mephisto back in his cell then taking him out again.

[StrayLamb]

These things can get a bit tricky, and you'll have to be prepared to use some latitude. Ghost Rider 7 is tied to Incoming, pre-Empyre. So, yeah, something has to give. I thought someone else had mentioned this anomaly, but i couldn't find it when i did a quick search this morning. Also, a KING IN BLACK thread has already been started. Forgot about that one.

KING IN BLACK
---
Inferno 2 (9:2 - 9:4)-FB
Avengers 45 (16 - 20) [Days after KIB, Blade leaves the Avengers to live in the Vampire Nation, with the full authority of the Avengers and the UN; i’m assuming that Blade can still occasionally join the Avengers for meetings and updates, since he's with the Avengers in Venom 35, months after KIB]

Is there any reason to not have (2-15) here? Only page 1 is a "Yesterday" flashback to "The final battle against Knull". So everything else is explicitly after King In Black.
I'd also then put the last third of Beta Day Bill #1 here (currently trying to work out why Thor, AFTER Knull is beaten, has to come back to Asgard to beat Fin Fang Foom, who's still sporting the Knull spiral).
