Do you think we can figure out where the individual books are in continuty? Its getting hard to tell whats actually going on since the timelines are so scatterd
for a start:
MA#9 14 days after end ow CW
BND more than 90 days after CW
what else do we have?

To spare your sanity, just overlook where everything fits together. It's easier.

If I could overlook continuity I would be reading Spider-man (probably not.:D )
Just trying to piece it together.

I agree with Beast, i tried fitting everything together in a timeline but it was to messed up that events that happened started loosing significance. Its like how does Spider-man stick to walls with gloves and boots on?...... doesnt make sense......just let it go. :p

This sort of timeline can sometimes sort of work if you use broad strokes (before/after/during), but anything more specific and the whole mess implodes.
Try not to worry about it.

That's the approach I take so my mind stays at peace. :)

I don't think it's possible to get that precise, particularly when you start trying to match up individual issues/storylines from completely different series. Personally, I find that the MU makes sense if I just generalize about how the timelines of the different books match up to one another. I tend to assume that 'stuff' is happening at roughly the same time from one book to the next, except where it would make sense for it not to. :P I know that's not helpful and not answering your question, but it works for me.

Hey it's been better lately. Slightly.
House of M and Civil War were such a mess. Yuck.

Actually I found an issue saying that he can choose which part of his body will stick, and the gloves and boots are thicker that the rest of the costume.

Given Wolverine says he got his memories back "2 months ago" in X Force #1 which was during House of M but the Iniaitive has clearly been running for longer than that then its safe to assume that the timeline is so messed up it will take a Skrull Wanda to reboot it all.
Again.

It was just ment to be a funny comment but lets do this.....his skin is sticky not his costume right......so how does the "stickyness" work through the costume, thats what i ment. Surely the thicker it is the harder it will be to stick.:cool:
