When Does "X-O Manowar" #2 (1991) Take Place?
"X-O Manowar" #2 v1 "Retribution" Part 2 "Kingdom Come!" is a superhero comic-book written by Jim Shooter with Steve Englehart that released December 1991. So when is "X-O Manowar" #2 set?

The events of this issue appear to cover just a few days from that point and the next issue, #3 v1 (1992), includes a claim that the time since events shown in the previous one, #1 v1 (1991), is "the past three weeks!" This makes it mid to late December of 1991.
