Secret Origins #10

Most of this issue is flashback and none of it may be in continuity... better left to the Chronology Uncertain pile --Zilch (talk) 12:07, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Agreed. I've removed it from the list.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2013 (PST)

World of Krypton Vol. 2 #1

Does any present time characters show up in this series? Is it all flashback or told in present tense? --Zilch (talk) 12:11, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Only the last issue in the series has a sequence that takes place in the present, where Superman relates the story of Krypton to Lois.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Secret Origins #14

This is a Legends crossover book (part 22) and takes place between Legends and Suicide Squad #1 --Zilch (talk) 12:15, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Shazam! - A New Beginning #1-4

This series is not in continuity, and should not be included. --Zilch (talk) 12:18, 28 December 2013 (PST)

I don't agree. At the time of publication it was in continuity and as such it should be included. A note stating that it is no longer in continuity would be more appropriate.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Ok,sounds good. --Zilch (talk) 15:35, 28 December 2013 (PST)

Secret Origins Vol. 2 #13

Non-flashback portions of Nightwing/Robin's origins take place during NTT 18 pg.11 between panels. It is also Dick Grayson's 20th birthday. --Zilch (talk) 13:19, 29 December 2013 (PST)

A note has been added.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2014 (PST)

Secret Origins Vol. 2 #12, #15, #17, #18, #19

Fury story in issue 12 takes place during WWII and the Challengers of the Unknown story takes place (at least) early Silver Age, if not earlier. Eliminate from chronology? --Zilch (talk) 13:13, 29 December 2013 (PST) No new non-flashback material in these issues. --Zilch (talk) 13:22, 29 December 2013 (PST)

All have been removed.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2014 (PST)

Zatanna Special 1

Takes place before the beginning of this set of chronologies. Should be placed on an earlier set of chronologies.--Zilch (talk) 21:55, 30 December 2013 (PST)

I've made a note of this in the entry. We can move it once we get around to making a page for that period.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2014 (PST)

Fury of Firestorm #55 & #56

Why are these placed out of order with the other comics? --Zilch (talk) 16:48, 1 January 2014 (PST)

Because despite the Chapter numbers that's where they fit. Issue 55 starts immediately after Firestorm and the JLA's battle against Brimstone as seen in Legends #2 and ends the next morning. Issue 56 picks up where issue 55 left off so the Legend Chapter numbers don't quite fit.--Tenzel Kim (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2014 (PST)
