Looking pretty good..

Just a few comments..

UX4 1-5 seems to be missing..

UA3 5-6 seems to be missing..

I’m not sure UA3 9-12 shouldn’t be with CWII - Tony Stark is shown in what appears to be the same facility in which he is shown in Uncanny Inhumans 11-15, and Bruce Banner’s failsafe plans are referred to in the past tense..

USQG2 12 is listed twice...

Carnage 8-16 seems to be one fairly tight story, with narrative gaps of no more than around four days at any point, but we have a significant gap between issues 10 and 11..

And just a few minor possible additions/nitpicks..

Thanks!

I haven't read GP HSPEC yet but it sounds like it might have to happen during CWII (or at least the main parts); I plan to read it while I'm going through that crossover.

I haven't read CWII yet, so it's possible that UA3 9-12 could happen during that crossover. If so it'll get moved out. I'll keep my eye out for it!

Yeah, CRNG2 is odd. Everything seems to happen pretty quickly, but #16 says that #1 was "months ago." The only spot I could find to put a gap of time in was between #10-11. I don't think there's any characters that appear in CRNG2 that show up anywhere else, though, so the gap in time shouldn't affect any chronologies. If there are some characters that show up elsewhere we'll have to make sure not to put those comics between CRNG2 10-11 (because they're busy looking for Carnage).

Everything else, Thanks! Edited into the above.

I think sometimes (frequently) the writers and/or editors get confused between internal story time and real publication time when they say "months ago."

Looks pretty good to me.. everything seems to work.

Hey, it's part of what makes all of this fun, right?

So far, anyway. We'll probably stumble across something that takes place during this time, or I could have jumbled a thing or two, but yes. So far so good (I think)!

There are some major flashback sequences coming up later in Inhumans vs X-Men 0, Unworthy Thor 1-4, and Thanos 4 that will need to be placed into this list, but probably best to wait until we get to that part of the chronology before adding them in.

Grid appears in DOX 1, who first appeared in FCBD2015:A /2. Grid gets his powers in FCBD2015:A /2 and already has them in DOX 1, so we’re going to have to move DOX 1-4.

Johnny and Medusa already have a romance in FCBD2015:A /2, which started in UINHS 8 (15)-FB, so that has to go before FCBD2015:A /2.

Rogue is in a coma in A6 0 because of DOX 1-4, so A6 0 has to happen after DOX 1-4.

EXX 8/2-FB moves the X-Mansion to Limbo because of DOX and has to happen afterwards.

ANX2 1 heavily references DOX 1-4 and has to happen afterwards. So at least:

UNINHS 8 (15)-FB (Johnny & Medusa start dating)
FCBD2015:A /2 (Johnny & Medusa already dating, Grid gets powers)
DOX 1-4 (Grid has powers, Cyclops dies) (Terrigen cloud deadly to mutants)
EXX 8/2-FB (X-Mansion moved to Limbo)
A6 0 (Rogue in a Terrigen coma)
ANX2 1 (Cyclops already dead)

UX4 7-FB & UX4 12-FB have to go before DOX because Magneto appears in DOX but only decides to get back into things in UX4 7-FB and decides to be proactive in UX4 12-FB.

BP&CREW 1-6 work better before DOX because Storm is walking around Harlem (meaning, it’d be better off before the Terrigenesis stuff).

Edited into the above!

Nicely caught, Colonel..

Can't help noticing that wolverine and Mr Reston must be away on secret missions..

Moon Girl's in EXX@ 1/2, rather than EXX@ 1!

She's definitely still in fourth grade as of MG&DD 19, and I believe she STILL is as of MG&DD 31, though it's not in front of me (and 32 apparently takes place while Wilson Fisk is the mayor). So I continue to endorse the idea of the first year of her series happening during the final weeks of Civil War II.

(Sorry I've been away for a bit, StrayLamb. Real life and stuff...)

I've heard about real life, but i try to avoid it myself.

I'm still mulling over the MG&DDINO placement, which is why they have ??? in front of them. To be honest, though, I don't want to decide until we're into SECRET EMPIRE. Why? I dunno.

Also! PM&IF3 1-4 have to be before ILLUM 1-5 (and therefore before Standoff), because Power Man & Iron Fist are working together again in ILLUM 1. But that has to be after SW6 4, so SW6 1-4 and consequently GP SPEC and SGWEN2 1-6 have to be before Standoff too...

I'll be back and looking over the Colonel's work soon enough. Hoping to go over the whole thing over the next couple of weeks, I'll let you guys know if I disagree with any placements.

Any idea when we're gonna start work on CIVIL WAR II to SECRET EMPIRE? I really enjoyed a lot of the titles in the buildup to this event.

I think Spider-Woman's pregnancy is the stronger placement clue (she's no longer pregnant in PM&IF3). Luke and Danny could have been having lunch together a block away (or something) before the Titania stuff started. They don't say anything about being partners in ILLUM 1, and they are best friends after all. They hang out a lot!

Good eye, though. Keep it up!

Once we're done with CWII I'm sure we'll move on to CWII to SECEMP. So, soon-ish?

The next to last page of SQS4 15 has Nighthawk suggesting that he's just very recently moved to Chicago and started working with Tilda; the implication is that NHAWK2 1-6 happen after that.

(On the previous page, the Statue of Liberty appears intact next to New Attilan...)
