As mentioned in my last post, the Hulk sequence in Tales to Astonish 75/2 to 79/2 is placed too early. I would split Tales to Astonish 75/2 differently so that a Tales to Astonish 75/2 (1-6:5) segment stays with the Tales to Astonish 70/2-74/2 sequence. Then there is some time required for the Hulk to hop to Washington and then Tales to Astonish 75/2 (7:1-12) to 79/2 should be placed between Thor 127 and 128 because of Hercules' timeline. Unfortunately, this is one occasion where Marvels 3 is way off. But even if my solution places Marvels 3 (10:1) before Marvels 3 (6-8:3), I think I can live with that if that means that the original timeline is respected.StrayLamb wrote: ↑Fri Feb 01, 2019 12:15 am Engagement of Reed and Sue to Defeat of Galactus:

I don't know why MCP split Tales to Astonish 78 this way, but the panel numbering seems off. Also, as reflected in your list, the whole segment on Krang's treason and Attuma vs Avengers is closely related and spans over a few hours. The following issues, Avengers 27-29 should be kept together because they occur over a short period of time and have not time gap between them. Given the references in the comics, Avengers 29 occurs while Thor is helping Hercules in Thor 129 and while Iron Man visited the Avengers HQ as his plant has been closed down in Tales of Suspense 79. This means that the placement for previous Journey Into Mystery/Thor 124-128 is too far in the timeline. I would place Journey Into Mystery/Thor 124-127 together (they all occur on the same day) anywhere before Tales to Astonish 78. Thor 128-129 should go right after the Krang and Attuma stories. Same goes for Tales of Suspense 79-80 and Tales to Astonish 82 who are part of the same storyline involving Namor and Iron Man. As for the Thor 130-133 segment, I only placed the Thor 130 (1-3:2) segment with Thor taking Hercules home and would move the rest in the DEFEAT OF GALACTUS to MASTER PLAN OF THE MANDARIN list because it occurs over several days but at the same time as X-Men 26.
Here is my take:
Journey into Mystery 124-125
Thor 126-127
