On occasion, to help the flow of the story, I may shift things a slight bit left or right, if you will, but my overseers keep me on the beam and review every step. How did you go about organizing every event in chronological order?Įditor Tom Brevoort and the Research Firm of Overton, Fichera, Vandal, Rougemont, O'Sullivan, Jensen, Garcia, Cotilletta, Christiansen, Dewey, Cheatum and Howe provided me a rough issue-by-issue outline before I got started, but there's some flexibility in there, especially during the period where the Marvel publishing line grew from eight books a month to over forty. One of the most fascinating part of this series is how it puts the entire Marvel Universe into the context of a chronological timeline. I'm exaggerating, but not by as much as you'd guess. It covers the birth of the Fantastic Four to the death of Jean Grey, a period during which Marvel introduced approximately 6,278 new heroes, all of whom Javier seems to have delineated in beautiful detail.
