I'm here to help. Now shut up, *****, you're posting on my timeline thread. Do something of equal merit and then you can talk about "contributions".

It pains me to think that all this time, you haven't considered my presence a contribution.

I consider it more a blessing from on high than a contribution. Thats like saying Jesus made a good falafel. Kind of an understatement, you know?

Your words... it's like an angel came down and sang them to me. And then the angel stuck her hand down my pants.

That's how much they touched me.

Thats how I always aim to touch people. I'm a giver, what can I say?

Man, you guys and panties...but considering I free-ball it half the time, you all should use that to your advantage instead of the whole panties bit...at least it'd hit closer to home. See? I'm a giver...even if its ammunition for my own downfall. But don't worry, I have a plan. And it involves a timeline.

You have ultimate spider-man #1 listed as the first issue of 2003, then you have ultimate spider-man #72 as listed in the beginnings of 2004. But at the beginning of issue #72 it says "9 Months Later" and it has flashbacks to the first issues.

I think Bendis said that each 100 issues would be a year... so it makes sense that it's been 9 months inbetween #1 and #72. That is about 3/4 the way through, hence 9 months.

Just a thought!

OK, I'm not sure what you were trying to point out, but the issues are placed that way do to a mention in the annual. In the annual, Peter talks about punching Nick Fury a few weeks ago. It's caught up with UXM, due to Kitty already having dumped Bobby, putting it into 2004. With Hobgoblin being a few weeks ago this basiczlly places the arc in '04.

You're assuming USM #1 happened at the beginning of the year in 2003. I'm not. Considering they've been in school for over 9 months now without any mention of a summer break, it makes more sense to assume USM #1 occurred sometime after the previous summer vacation, therefore around August or September of 2003. Nine months after that would be April or May of 2004. It works. Besides, Bendis is known for ignoring his own continuity all the time, so in terms of specific time references in USM I wouldn't take them too seriously.

Quite true. I love you, Pandrio.
 
Made some pretty major updates, especially concerning the new UFF #27 issue (look for the first part around UFF #2's placement, as they crossover in terms of linear time, and the other part after UFF #26). Also adjusted Marvel Zombies #1 and UFF #24 as they run sort of parallel, though in different realities. And, with Thor's appearance in UFF #27 (as a free man and not imprisoned in the Triskelion), that places the "President Thor" arc (at least the part taking place around present day) before Ultimates 2 and also UXM's "Magnetic North" arc, as he's featured imprisoned in both...and I'm doubting Millar wrote it with it in mind for the President Thor arc to occur after the Ultimates 2. Anyway, enjoy, and if you see any mistakes or have any questions, let me know!
 
Updated for USM #90 and Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk #2.

Had to make some more pretty noticeable changes, both to integrate UWvsH#2 with Ultimates 2 and moved some of the more recent USM story arcs around slightly due to the Magician's appearance in the end of USM #90 (and him not joining the X-Men until at least the end of the current "Date Night" arc in UXM (but I'm pretty sure its confirmed he'll be joining the team by arc's end, so for the last few pages the placement makes sense...as for why I placed such a noticeable expanse of time between those two scenes in USM #90 was due to the Flash Thompson TV movie already airing on TV by arc's end, and even my placement is generous in terms of that). Anyway, enjoy, and let me know if you see any mistakes.
 
Okay, Irish, I won't judge cos I have no idea how this works, but do you plan on listing the fact that certain pieces of the "President Thor" arc will occur in an (for lack of a better term) 'alternate timeline'? Or will this remain strictly 'time-based' with no mention that the timeline is changed/different?

Just checking is all.

Did I mention that I absolutely LOVE the fact that the youngest Ultimate ongoing holds the place for earliest event in the timeline? And that it's pages 3-5 that have this, followed by 1-2?
I just LOVE that. It's awesome. Say what you will about Millar's run on UFF, but that first issue (and pretty much all the first issues of each arc) was awesome!

I'm just going to leave it as is for now. Yes, it does appear that it takes place in an "alternate timeline", or more appropriately, an "altered timeline", but to keep the timeline as straightforward and easy to follow as possible I'm just keeping it "time-based", as you said.

I agree. :)


Also, just wanted to make note that I placed the upcoming Ultimates novel (out in August, 2006) tentatively on the timeline. From the summary I read on Amazon, it appears this novel will take place sometime between Ultimates 1 & 2. We'll know for sure when its released.
 
I just read this entire time-sucking thread...

;^p

Makes me feel like I need to go out and buy up all the trades, slice the spines and start putting them into three-ring binders...

And I am not sure if I want to even get the Marvel Zombies, because it is not actually an "Ultimate" title...?

As for the Ultimate Avengers DVD, that thing sucked a$$ in a major way! So glad I rented rather than just buying it blind...

Not to mention the major continuity problems it also raises...

But I will still rent part two...!

Nah, just flip back and forth...

Ah, but it is...but not. Since it springs out of the UFF #21-23, and will lead directly into UFF #30-32, it is pretty much required reading if you're a completist.

Hence it not being included in the timeline.

Good luck with that.

I don't think it has ever been suggested that it was part of any existing continuity, much less Ultimate.

Exactly. I admit, I had tentatively placed it on the timeline before it came out since I heard it would be "faithful" and "true" to the comic series it was based on (which as we all know was a load of crap after the first five minutes or so). But after seeing it and the plans for the sequel I can say surely it isn't meant to be considered a part of continuity. End of story.
