Has anyone commented yet on the fact that Aunt Anna suddenly looks nothing like the character of the last 60 years? Krakoa magic or strong-editor consistency?

My fear is that - without threads like this keeping the circumstance alive - modern writers who, let's face it - aren't continuity-driven like M. Gruenwald or K. Busiek - will lose track / not care /...
This is actually a pretty big deal, given 5 decades of the frenzied Ben Reilly / Peter Parker identity dynamic. Agonizing years were spent scrutinizing who was 'the real deal.'
Regarding Krakoa,...

OK so am I missing someone in the 616?:
Green Goblin (Norman Osborn)
Green Goblin (Harry Osborn)
Green Goblin (Bart Hamilton)
Hobgoblin (Roderick Kingsley)
Hobgoblin (Jason Macendale)...
Any updates on a possible #700 for June or July?
Dan, I’m a big fan of Legacy Numbers - Do creators care about them or not?
I ask because it would be #50 of your creation soon - had the numbers not been removed .
Not sure if this has been covered, but as someone who lapsed a bit after the beginning of the Krakoa era, I always wondered...
Did they ever explain how Krakoa went from being ... well, the Krakoa...
Do we know what Hulk was in 1962’s Hulk #1,2, and 3?
Based on speech patterns I assume the Hulk in #4 (after the gamma blast) was the first Joe.
In this vein, I was just looking at the Marvel Fandom Wikia (not Official Marvel but pretty good...) and it states that when the Jackal returned in ASM #399 for the dreaded Clone Saga (this was when...
Perhaps this represents yet another failure of the Wells era:
None of us even know where the main character lives!
Assuming its the Boomerang / Randy / Gog Pad, but....?
Recall when it was...
Have they addressed the fact that as MJ was in the alternate universe for several years, she is now at least 4 years older than Peter biologically? So it's possible for her to be in her early 30s as...
She hops in a cab in 1975, drives away till 1988.
Then she wanders off and isn't seen again till 1995.
Then she wanders off after Maximum Clonage for 15 years.
Then she's shot and killed in 2011. ...
So back to the "Dr Storm" thing... WHEN exactly was the first mention of Sue being a doctor?
And why wouldn't it be "Dr Richards"?
When exactly did Beast start down this path?
I seem to recall it was the O5 decision, or did it have something to do with him experimenting with magic?
So, I'm sorry this came up but is it possible Peter KILLED Kamala?
If so, THAT in and of itself would be the shock.
What drives me just crazy is this whole Mayan / Quiet Place / Sarah Connor / Wayep story - has NO TIES to anything in Spider-Man or MJ's history.
It is a bizarre, OOC setting that - makes no...
If Aunt May doesn't know Peter is Spidey - and thus 'what he did', why was she so upset with him in ASM#1? I haven't seen her that mad since he quit Grad School in '84!
As comic books are serialized linear storylines, Legacy Numbers help make sense of the madness that comes with fifteen different #1s.
When streamlined numbering went away, so too did a sense of...
Any idea why Jonathan Hickman boycotted Legacy Numbers on his entire line?
Thanks you guys - really helpful.
Anyone know how "What If" got to #200 in 2011?
Was that a legit count, or something crazy like Deadpool #900?
Fair point - it’s like the MJ stalker plot from 1999 and 2000 - another huge drawn out story with massive ramifications that was obviously not planned out - the more this can be tied to a one off...
From 1992 to 1998, Marvel's narrative of ASM and satellite books was pretty linear:
One volume, retcons galore, sure, but generally no massive continuity screw-ups.
Despite clone sagas and societal...
I just LOVE Alex's costume.
It's the perfect compromise between the classic (and missed) Ms Marvel costume and the current uniform enthusiasts.
The Dave Cockrum Domino Mask keeps Carol from...
