When Does "The Kents" #2 (1997) Take Place?
"The Kents" #2 "Bleeding Kansas" Part 2 is a western comic-book written by John Ostrander that released July 2nd, 1997. So when is "The Kents" #2 set?
It takes place on the fictional DC Comics Universe timeline in the year:
We know this because about a quarter into the issue a textbox clearly declares it presents excerpts from “the journal of Nathaniel Kent -- December 12(?) 1855--”.
1855 AD - 1856? AD
We know this because about a quarter into the issue a textbox clearly declares it presents excerpts from “the journal of Nathaniel Kent -- December 12(?) 1855--”.
Additionally, the issue opens with a frame prologue and a later awkward quick interlude merely labeled with a textbox telling us it’s "Metropolis. Today." So the frame story and the interjected scene with Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman are set in ‘the present’ of the DC Universe.
It is a chronologically early comic in the DC Comics Universe multiverse timeline and can be read at its timeline point.
