When Does "X-O Manowar" #1 (1991) Take Place?
"X-O Manowar" #1 v1 "Retribution" Part 1 "Into the Fire" is a superhero comic-book written by Jim Shooter with Steve Englehart that released November 1991. So when is "X-O Manowar" #1 set?
It takes place on the fictional Valiant Universe timeline in the year:
We know this because the first scene of the issue is nearly identical to the last scene of the prequel issue, "X-O Manowar" #0 v1 (1993), which includes a place and time setting textbox midway that reads, "in Earth orbit, November 3, 1991".
Later scenes include an internal monologue textbox that states "Half a day in the city already" and no further comments are made on time but Aric walks from somewhere with snow to somewhere tropical in an early page. Presumably, a few weeks pass in the comic. That puts it in early November through roughly early December of 1991.
