Wait, really? Where? Are they in that 40th anniversary comic, or somewhere else?

[ToTheNines]

Yes sir, that’s correct.

Oooh, excellent. I’m sure you’re plugged in and know most of the script details, and I’m sure you don’t want to be the LEAKER… but any hints on timeline placement that wouldn’t spoil anything?

Definitely within the core Vol. 3 issues themselves. A "missing story," if you will.

Cool, thanks man. Glad to see you’re still here by the way! I’m gonna try to stick around this time.

You were always one of my favorites.

Haha, thanks man. I was actually just scrolling through the Disintegrstor Unit yesterday and came across the old Trump tweet thread. Still makes me laugh my ass off. Good times!

Ok, we have the first Mirage story now. It’s titled “Mirage story 1” which is maybe a placeholder?

Any ways

Spoiler:

It was very cool, but no real story to it. Also it’s a TLR story, not Mirage.

Got my advance copy yesterday. Overall thought the whole thing was awesome.

As for timeline placement:

“Monsters” by Jim Lawson didn’t entirely make sense anywhere in particular, and it was off that they just left Rat King sitting there babbling.

And maybe I’m just sensitive to culture war nonsense, but it seemed like it was supposed to be a dig at Trump. Loved seeing new art from Lawson, but this one might be better off forgotten.

“Gang Wars” was amazing. It’s mostly all Lauren Stanton reflecting. But the final scene of her in Japan was implied to be 20 years after #1. So 2005 by my count, which is a couple years after where Peter left volume 4 hanging.

This one and Ciro’s story were basically pitches for a larger story. Hopefully something comes of it.


“Down Time” takes place during Volume 3/Urban Legends #6. Not much to say, fun little story though.
