Marvel's Earth-616 Timeline

[selfishmisery]

Everything Hasbro would have to be in it's own cluster in the Marvel Multiverse.

I remember that Transformers Cyberverse cartoon alluded to the fact that their 'multiverse' is based in branched timelines, akin to Marvel's rules regarding time travel and the multiverse.

Beast Wars itself follows that same rules too.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

War Is Hell #13, and we're at Dunkirk now, specifically June 1st (during Operation Dynamo), as stated by the opening dialogue box. Fortunately, the entire story takes place on that day, with nary a flashback to interrupt.

For the timeline/reading order, this should be placed after WIH #12, since that story was set in Spring (March to May).

Spoiler: War Is Hell #13, "Today's A Lovely Day to Die!"

1940
June 1st
War Is Hell #13, "Today's A Lovely Day to Die!" [Earth-616]

Also, I just realised that there are only two more issues for War Is Hell for me to do, then I'm not sure what comic series to focus on afterwards. Any recommendations are welcome.

Are you going (somewhat) by release order, or are you game for any?

I've always been a fan of the original Secret Wars run, though I've never been able to get my hands on any copies themselves (though I do have the more recent Battleworld series, where [I forgot which writer] wanted to add to it. I'd love for someone to tackle the comics that lead up to Secret Wars, and the few that would come after it that are still relevant (acting as a sort of epilogue I guess)

I'm mainly focusing on the Golden Age stories and ones that are set around the 1930s to 1950s or during specific wartimes (IE: WW2 or the Korean War). Silver/Bronze/Modern Age stories that retroactively take place during those periods can also count IMO.

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

Okay, talk about an oddity. WIH #14 is set BEFORE #13, it seems, but can also be before or after #12 (again, the Spring placement really makes it vague as hell). Will make placement notes once finished.

If you don't mind me asking, how/where are you getting and reading these old comics?

I imagine some online comic archive (when I went through a 3 day phase of reading the 616 comics from scratch, that's how I did it - though a few were available to read on the official Marvel website)

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. Any specific comic archive or nah?

Idk if this will help but, I looked at this page on the marvel wiki and there are a few series that are during WW2. Stuff like Sgt. Fury and Battleground etc.

Honestly, I just look up "[comic name/issue] read online]", though I did find a few good ones. I don't remember their names, but I'll do a quick search and get them for you tomorrow

Thanks a lot

Offtopic but Dark Horse's Conan has it's own designated Earth.

If Marvel Appendix can declare this, Berserk and Akira as part of the Marvel multiverse, give us the Image Comics or Invincible Earths.

A bit late here, but I'm guessing that also includes their Red Sonja?

 

[Megatron]

ehm... why the modern age starts in 1946?

Everything Added!!!

Also I've found this amazing order for Spider-Man

Might be useful!

 

[Megatron]

For @JudgeDreddpool if you don't mind, after you finish War is Hell, since you dived already into WWII, could you go into the WWII stories, please? You can takle all the herous in those eras too if you want, even Cap and Wolvie of the time.

Which ones specifically?

Alright, am done. Best to place this one after WIH #12, just to be safe.

Spoiler

1940
April 10th
War Is Hell #14, "The Duty of a Man!" [Earth-616]

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

And that just leaves one last WIH story to be placed.

Surely that December date in between would be Christmas Eve no? It's in the name

Ehhhh, I guess? IDK...

 

[Frizzy]

Tbf I haven't read it so it's up to you, I just assumed.

 

[Megatron]

Which ones specifically?

you decide!

 

[Megatron]

EVERYTHING ADDED!

 

[JudgeDreddpool]

@Megatron you still working on this?

 

[stphylcccs]

@Megatron you still working on this?

Pretty sure they plan on doing more, but just haven't actively worked on it in a while

 

[stphylcccs]

I could be mistaken, but didn't Marvel do some promotional comics for Kool-Aid that were set in Earth-616? I can't find anything about it on the wiki, other than the comics' existences

 

[Pro Bot]

That was just Film Theory making **** up for views. It wasn't Earth-616, it was just a Marvel comic.

 

[stphylcccs]

I guess if it didn't get its own universe, and didn't contradict Earth-616 (other than it being the Kool-Aid Man) MatPat just made the conclusion that it'd be 616…

 

[Pro Bot]

Pretty much.
