Speaking of Annihilation, Frank has pointed out to me that Galactus appears in Eternals 6 between Annihilation: Silver Surfer 1-4 & Annihilation 1-6. Provisionally, i'm moving Annihilation 1-6 & Heralds 1-2 to the following position..

---
Civil War 5 (18-22)
Annihilation 1-6
Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus 1-2
New X-Men 32

He may post this elsewhere, but Frank also made the following observation..

Any thoughts?

Yes, it is explicitly indicated "Fifteen days after the Annihilation Day".
Also, there is a cameo of Grandmaster in Annihilation: Ronan 3 that is currently placed between Thunderbolts 105 and 107, placing that mini much later in the chronology.

I've had a chance to look into this more closely. Here's what i've come up with..

Avengers Disassembled to House of M (non-existent chronology - currently)
Annihilation: Prologue 1 (1) [Annihilation Day -7]
Annihilation: Prologue 1 (2 - 8) [Annihilation Day]
Annihilation: Prologue 1 (9 - 35) [Annihilation Day + 7]
Annihilation: Nova 1-4 [Annihilation Day + 11]
Annihilation: Prologue 1 (36- 37) [Annihilation Day + 12]

House of M to Decimation (non-existent chronology - currently)
House of M 8 (1 - 19) [M-Day + 1]
Annihilation: Prologue 1 (38- 42) [Annihilation Day + 15]
New Avengers 45 (20 - 23) [M-Day + 1 (evening)/Annihilation Day + 15]
House of M 8 (20 - 19) [M-Day + 2]
Annihilation: Silver Surfer 1 [Annihilation Day + 17]
Annihilation: Silver Surfer 2 [Annihilation Day + 19]
Annihilation: Silver Surfer 3 (1 - 13) [Annihilation Day + 21]
Annihilation: Silver Surfer 3 (1 - 13) [Annihilation Day + 22]
Annihilation: Silver Surfer 4 (1 - 20) [Annihilation Day + 22]

Annihilation: Super-Skrull, Ronan, Annihilation & Heralds have all been spread through Cilvil War, somewhat based on Paul Bourcier's placements, but adapted to the current state of the chronology. I've edited them into the list above, in bold for now, so you can find them easily. Let me know if you see any problems with the placements. Note that as per Paul Bourcier's calendar, "Annihilation Days" must be 12 hours long.

[It appears that these items will have to go into the Decimation to Civil War Chronology. New Avengers 45 (20-23) cannot occur in the immediate aftermath of House of M for reasons discussed over there]

Placement of Annihilation

Post by StrayLamb »

Frank has pointed out to me a problem with placing Annihilation Prologue simultaneously with House of M..
Frank wrote:Sun Dec 29, 2019 9:00 am About Annihilation there are several problems due to the continuity which prevents to correctly place this cross-over:

1) The placement of Marvel Holiday 2006/3 in the chronology of Mr Fantastic and Annihilus must be wrong because it arrives too late in their continuity for the event to start later.

2) the placement of the Surfer stay on the Hulk planet cannot be moved and arrives well after the end of House of M, and it appears in Annihilation after its stay in planet Hulk… which arrives after!

Conclusion:
In my opinion Annihilation Prologue as it is described can not happen at the same time as the end of House of M 8 because of New Thunderbolts 12 which only comes after House of M. The placement of the Marvel Holiday 2006/3 is placed too far in the lap times for it to be connected with Annihilation. Not to mention the Surfer and his journey on the planet Hulk which precedes its appearance at the end of the Annihilation Prologue.
I have not read the cross-over but from all the times available I think that Annihilation takes place at least after IH3 95.

What do you think ?

All of which makes perfect sense. The scene at the end of NA 45 where Veranke is told of the Annihilation of the Skrull Empire cannot be occurring during the House of M event or its immediate aftermath due to other considerations. Placing it later in the scheme may make the conversation regarding the M-Day event seem a little strange, but these are Skrulls, who knows how they think.

Now that we know or at least have deduced that for reasons of continuity relating to Nova, the Surfer or Annihilus as well as to Mr Fantastic that Annihilation cannot begin before Incredible Hulk v3 95 (until proven otherwise of course) we can try to rely on the appearance of Mr Fantastic at the end of Annihilation Super Skrull 1 To put away the previous episodes, what do you think?

That's pretty much my thinking. I've already placed the issues you mention here into Civil War Chronology. The Annihilation Prologue and earlier Surfer issues should be placed shortly before Civil War, in The Other to Civil War Chronology.

hi straylamb! I think this time I found the solution to the problem: I simply used Paul Bourcier's calendar *doh* and I think it works pretty well. I even found the location for the passage of hawkeye with scarlet witch and the flashback with Veranke :thumbsup: What do you think?DECIMATION

It doesn't work so well for M/HOL 2006/3, placed just before ANNI:PRO (38 - 42) at Annihilation Day + 15. It seems very doubtful that Annihilus would leave the Wave to watch sitcoms and have a beer with the Thing ^^
Could this story be placed around M/HOL 2005 ? It's a bit after Avengers : Finale, so it would leave some time for Annihilus to make his plans.

I'm not sure where Christmas should fall around this period, but i have this story placed immediately before Annihilation Prologue. Looking at it again, the uniforms that Reed and Sue are wearing are unlike anything i can find elsewhere, but seem most similar to the uniforms they wore back in 1962. Otherwise, the nearest i can find are those worn circa 2002, with the black collars that extended out towards the shoulders, and the white 4 beneath, so maybe this should be placed back there somewhere?

The costumes in M/HOL 2006/3 are not so different from those in the issues nearby, the black collar is just larger, we can give it to artistic licence.

But I've found another problem with Quasar : he appears, alive, in SH2 7. He dies then (temporarily ^^) in ANNI:NO 4, Annihilation Day + 11.
That is putting Veranke's vision in NA 45 (19:2 - 23), at Annihilation Day + 15, after SH2 7. That's currently not the case, as seen with Criti Noll :

for me it has always been in my mind a temporary placement ^^ ....And i was thinking the same thing about annihilius ;) definitely something go wrong with the placement of that christmas story :sigh:
