Wanting to look back on the OTHER and a few minor things, I went and re-read my Spidey comics from the OTHER to the most current issues.

I noticed some odd continuity.
In Amazing Spiderman, Stark gives Peter his new Iron-Spider suit. Peter uses it to stop a crime. That night, Tony asks peter to be his protege. Essentially the next morning (Illuminati happened that night), Peter is in Washington with Stark. A day or two goes by and Peter is done with debating and fighting Titanium Man. Peter returns and turns on the TV to hear about the Stamford Disaster.

The next issue takes place immediately after.

So my question is:
If Peter was performing his Amazing Spiderman duties, NON-STOP from the moment he became the Iron Spider, When did he find the time to Fight an evil Luchadore, Go after crazy animal people, fight the collective, help bail out the Young Avengers, Get haunted by future Hobgoblin, or even merely hang out at Avengers tower long enough to see Luke's baby and fight the adaptoid widow?

None of those stories reference the Stamford tragedy. They can't take place after Stamford, with the registration business, and CAP being MIA, wouldn't it have seeped into the stories?

Perhaps the suit has a time machine built in.
So Peter doesn't have to "borrow" Dr. Doom's.

Ah thus the problem with one character having to many titles. :(

I've given up trying to figure it out myself and which is why I just focus on New Avengers and Amazing Spider-man continuity wise. Read SSM cause Feral is a pretty interesting story and not caring when it takes place.

I think JMS made a mistake in tying down their movements so tightly.

There doesn't seem to be any room for Iron Man's solo series in there either, since its pre-Civil War and post-everything else. You just have to be prepared not to think about it too much.

He also hung around with the Thing.
