Marvel Chronology Project

My memory insists that somewhere you asked for suggestions for changes to pre-Secret Invasion chronology because you wanted to tidy it all up. But now I can't find the reference. But here, whether you want it or not, is a suggestion about the flashbacks in New Avengers #28-30 and their relation to N...

Oops! I realise I've just restated the contents of milamber's last 2 posts. I misread his 1st 1 and thought they both referred to *Avengers* #27. (It's those coincidental issue numbers.) But it also means I was crediting him with a brilliant deduction/no-prize suggestion based on Av#27 alone.

Coincidentally in New Avengers #27 the 8-month-future Thor discards Jarnbjorn and pulls a hammer from a sheath on his back. It's the hammer of Thorr, the alternate, which once again clearly says it can be wielded by whoever is unworthy.

Paul, I have another large problem trying to reconcile stuff around Original Sin which I can't see mentioned anywhere. But before I get to it I'll just add 1 bit to the Thor discussion. In Avengers & X-Men: Axis #1-3 Thor does appear bare-chested with Jarnbjorn. But if he's got a prosthetic arm ...

This is a very old topic, but .... I'm confused about the connection between ASM#529-531 and FF#536-537 with NA:I1 #1. NA:I1 #1 covers 3 meetings of the Illuminati. All the discussion in the Forum has ASM#529-531 and FF#536-537 around the 3rd meeting. But the chronologies of Iron Man and Mr Fantasti...

I agree with you about considering the internal evidence from the stories. That is how I came up with my absolute dating proposal, by finding references to current events in some issues. (I didn't include the evidence in the start of this thread. It exists in the thread on Who Watches The Watchers.)...

In the thread 'Sequencing monthly and quarterly Timely issues', both here and in Who Watches The Watchers forum, I used adverts in Golden Age Masterworks reprints quoting publication dates of Timely comics, plus the more usual 'on sale now' ads, to support the 3 month backdating of real publication ...

For my last trick (you may be glad to hear) I'm going to apply my dating system to mentions of Pearl Harbor or other events in the succeeding month. I'm going to consider issues that the Captain America and Sub-Mariner online bibliographies attribute to August 1941 to March 1942 (the reason for the ...

Some other characters that can be studied in the light of my alternate dating scheme are Young Allies and Red Skull. The Young Allies grew out of appearances of the Sentinels of Liberty in early issues of Captain America Comics. Bucky was depicted as leader of one local SoL group, in his non-costume...

My revised scheme for aligning quarterly issues with monthly ones can throw light on some other corners of Timely. One of these is the question of Patriot's first appearance. There is no argument about his origin, which is in the text story in Human Torch #4. This is set a year before his other tale...

I would like to suggest a small change to the positioning of Black Widow:Deadly Origin 1 (19)-FB in BW's chronology. You currently have:- UX 268 (22)-FB The last bit of the complex entry for the 1941 adventure in Uncanny X-Men 268 and Wolverine:Origins 16 teaming up with Captain America against Baro...

I have submitted a thread to the Who Watches The Watchers forum (which discusses the Official Handbooks, etc) suggesting there is something wrong with the claimed sequencing of stories in the Timely parts of online bibliographies in Marvel Universe for Captain America and Sub-Mariner, originally tak...

And another thing .....

MOOT#4 says Bucky has no grave (and no army records), But EMH#3 has him visiting the grave (which must of course be empty) in the Arlington Cemetery.

There are some general continuity problems with this series. Wasp wears the pointed headgear throughout all 5 issues that she discarded before Avengers #3. Iron Man has the helmet with points over the eyes also in every issue (covering up to Av#8), which he changed before Av#6. Coincidentally it is ...

I've scanned the various posts concerning the Weather Maker/Torrent/Trolls story within Thor: Godstorm #2-3, and I am left wondering why it was placed between Avengers #6 and Tales of Suspense #54-55. Paul Bourcier's original idea (Jan 25th 2004) of between the beginning of Av#5 and ToS#52 would mak...
