This lines up exactly with what rough notes I'd made, but definitely a lot more in detail. Honestly, reading this event, I enjoyed it a lot more than I expect it to.

Is there any reason this got moved to the Issue Analysis forum?

[Russ Chappell]

No, it shouldn't have been.

I'm implementing this and I see some minor corrections are needed.

ASOFF:APHA (31&32) shows the transformations of Mr. Hyde, the Scorcher and Orrgo, so it must be before their appearances in HCSHIELD 6 (1 - 7).

Sam Wilson is still in New York when he calls Iron Man in ANADA 7 (11) (he's around buildings), so this must be before he arrives near Pleasant Hill CASW 7 (12:4)-FB and he lands in the town CASW 7 (21:4)-FB. There he meets Bucky in CASW 7 (1 - 5). When Avril Kincaid sends them to the circus, he flies by Steve Rogers going to the bowling CASW 7 (28:1)-FB.

ASOFF:APHO (26:4)-FB shows Maria Hill in a meeting with the Avengers : "We've even struck an agreement with the Avengers leadership to keep the entire incident top secret, at least until some of the more... volatile elements of the operation are resolved." Hill is with Tony Stark, Vision, Rogue, Sam Wilson and... the old Steve Rogers, but it should be the young one after the incident. Do we assume it's a mistake and list the young Steve?

It has to be a mistake. The meeting clearly deals with the aftermath of the event so...
