Content details Content details

The Avengers Chronology Project is an attempt to list every Avengers cronological appearance in issues and tales from the the origins to the current year. In the Project are included all Avengers appearances as team and any correlate issue prominent for their continuity. Moreover, the Project included several books where individual Avengers are together (i.e. team-up or crossover) and, in some cases, books with individual Avengers appearances or non-Avengers appearances since they are important to a key-continuity (i.e. Invaders tales, flashback sequence, first appearances). After all, in the final version, the Project will contain every book related with the Avengers as a team, and every book prominent for the individual Avengers. The Avengers Chronology Project did not include "What-if" tales and out-of-continuity issue.

Since actually the Project have more large GAPS inside chronology, special red text-labels indicate the amount of these gap in detail and linking among the different chronology-highlights (pages below). Moreover, green text-labels indicate hints with details on chronology-key, or starting point in major crossover and big events in the Marvel Universe. Each entry have a "What's on Chronology?" description drawed in cyan that indicate the title of the story and eventually (in bold) the exact page-sequence fit in the chronology; besides here are listed (in italic) individual Avengers appearances or Avengers-related characters appearances in the tale (or page-sequence) fit in the chronology, with the exceptions of the issue's protagonists because their appearance is implied. Many entries have a continuity tips (or a short description of the story contents) named "Entry topic". For each entry, click on the cover thumbnails to view further book details.
