Continuity-Race

Could somebody help me out with continuity here.

I just read Deadly Genesis and have just started Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar empire, and just prior to that read X-men: Civil War and Phoenix Warsong. Now my question is what order do these stories occur?

I was under the impression that Deadly genesis occurs before Civil War and Rise and Fall occurs after Civil War and before Warsong but the new sentinels that were seen in Civil War (the ones which look a lot like Evangelions of Neon genesis) are not present. Further to that during Civil war it was mentioned that Prof X hadn't been seen since house of M, so does that mean that maybe Deadly genesis occurs after Civil War? or was the prof just laying low?

Please someone tell me what order these stories occur I'm mighty confused

hey thanks ajandrew1212, much appreciated

I suspect there might be a little bit of writers and artists unaware of what other writers and artist are doing as well.

the energy leftover from all the mutants being made humans that awakened Vulcan, was that the collective? was it when it got thrown into the sun maybe it passed by his...rock so did the collective storyline occur before civil war

Greetings all, can you tell my why X-men: Deadly Genisus is after Blood of Apocalypse.


Because i dont understand one thing. if X-men: DG is before BoA. then where was Xavier in the story, and if its after. Why is nobody talking about BoA in X-men: DG???

so who can help me please!!

Plus Sentinel Squad Member Nathaniel Briggs was alive in Blood of Apocalypse, but died in Deadly Genesis.

Yeah, that was a continuity error. Sentinel designs across titles are more consistent now. Stuff like that, like dialogue, however, can be ignored by fans to make continuity work. A character death, however, is not something that can be changed or worked into continuity.

Well it can be argued that though Lorna said she was leaving, it didn't necessarily mean she jumped off and ran at that moment. I guess her appearance is another one of those inconsequential moments that needs to be interpreted by fans.

Hey look, I'm back. Went away for a bit and then it took me some time to catch up. Here's an updated list. I'm still a bit unsure on the placement of Quest for Magik, but I've done my best for now.

I still think Magik Quest comes before the Uncanny team return...

Originally posted by Blackcyclops I still think Magik Quest comes before the Uncanny team return...   And WWH happens after that (the LImbo look for Santos isn't permanent I believe from all the drawings I've seen), then X_Men #200 happens after that...

But what about the new looks for both Anole and Pixie, not present in either WWH or X-Men #202?

Originally posted by ajandrew1212 Hey, I read the books in trades and am a little behind. For readiblity's sake, how should I read Endangered Species? They'll probably release it all in one trade, but since it was created as a series of 20 backup strips, would it be weird to read it all in one go? Should it be read along with the books it came in as something that happened in the past? Please help me out on this.

No, it's just one big plotless tour of the Marvel universe and thus far has no bearing on anything. You can read it all together independent of the issues it was originally paired with.

so this mean this is the first book to read

Originally posted by Paragon I thought Pixie had her new black and pink hair in X-Men 202.

I'm having trouble remembering what Pixie looked like before, mainly because she was just a piece of scenery until this arc. Now the sofa almost lost it's soul, and we were supposed to care. But I digress...

Okay, so the differences in her appearance are stripey hair and rattier looking wings. X-Men #202 shows the stripey hair but with the still iridescent wings, so it's ambiguous.
