Well THAT was sure a week in X-comics. The 2023 Hellfire Gala is interwoven with Invincible Iron Man 8 and the Free Comic Book Day 2023 special that's Uncanny Avengers on its cover and Avengers/X-Men in its indicia. Here's how it all appears to work: X:HG2023 (1) -FB --"X weeks ago," befor...

On looking at Legion of X 7 again, the first three pages are immediately after Kurt has grown horns, so that scene will have to be before Infinity Comic 80-85 and Marauders 11-12. New Mutants: Lethal Legion 5 finishes up that miniseries. No specific placement needs beyond "sometime after New Mu...

This week's Immortal X-Men #13 has some... significant stuff going on. It's all before this year's Hellfire Gala, and the first two pages appear to be taking place during the final scene of #12. X-Force #42 concludes the time-travel storyline, and nothing really seems to contradict my assumption tha...

X-Men 24 is during the day leading up to the 2023 Gala; Immortal 12 is a little bit before that (and, judging by the two-page preview of Immortal 13, so is that issue). My guess is that the Captain America 750 cameo is after Weapons of X, though we'll see. In the broadest strokes, the recent X-books...

Only three present-day titles between last week and this week. X-Men: Before the Fall - Heralds of Apocalypse 1 is sometime before X-Men Red 11-12 (and has lots of internal flashbacks, too). X-Men: Before the Fall - The Sinister Four 1 is sometime fairly shortly before Immortal X-Men 12 (and also ha...

Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain 5, X-Force 41 and New Mutants: Lethal Legion 4 all continue directly from the previous issues; no placement surprises there. Xavier and a Krakoan gate appear in Ultimate Invasion 1, a little surprisingly. X-Men Unlimited Infinity Comic 92 starts a new storyline, invol...

This week's X-Men Red 12, Rogue & Gambit 4 and Wolverine 34 each follow directly from their previous issues. Depending on what follows later, there may or may not need to be a gap before the final scene of X-Men Red 12, since the rest of the issue is still pretty close to the end of Sins of Sini...

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 co...

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 (...

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 Infini...

Only one present-day-set X-title last week (Betsy Braddock: Captain Britain #4, which has no particular placement needs--I'm not even going to count Deadpool as an X-title any more until I see some evidence to the contrary), but a bunch this week. Bishop: War College #5 concludes that miniseries, ta...

This week's Bishop: War College #4 and New Mutants: Lethal Legion #3 both continue merrily onward from the previous issues. Not a lot to report there, other than that the big cliffhanger in Bishop implies that Orchis doesn't know that Sabretooth's no longer in the Pit. Which seems odd, given the plo...

This week's X-Force #40 follows immediately from #39. (There are a couple of places in #39 where there could be a substantial break if one becomes necessary.) There's a gap of at least a few days between X-Men #21 and 22, and it could be significantly more if needed. We seem to be not too long befor...

X-Force 27-29 (a bit of time has gone by since 25-26, but Magneto is still on the Council, and X Lives/Deaths is pretty recent; Quentin Quire goes away). This seems like it should go as soon as possible after X - Lives/Deaths. The event is reported to a full meeting of the Quiet Council, and it see...

This week's ROGUE & GAMBIT #3 is, per an info page, "five months" after X6 16, which... fine. It does, however, have a flashback to "many years ago" that I'm having a tough time placing: it's sometime after X2 33 (Gambit and Rogue return to the dock in New Orleans where they ...
