I keep thinking there's been a rough map marking out territories held by whom within the Marvel version of our galaxy. That it was published in a book written by Jonathan Hickman, and that it was relatively recent. Within, say, the last five years.

Google Image Search avails me naught.

Anyone? Am I misremembering this?

One would assume it might be in his FF run, probably?

That would be from one of the Annihilation offshoots, yes?

Thanks for this, both of you.

The idea that "M-31" and the Andromeda Galaxy are separate galaxies, per that Annihilation-related map is one that goes back to the first Marvel Handbook, I think. Incomplete astronomy-related proofreading is likely to be at the heart of it, leading to a 30-year-old "whoops".

Placing the Shi'ar in M-101 (AKA the Pinwheel Galaxy) makes more sense to my mind than having them carve up M-31 with the Skrulls.

Alternatively, maybe M-33, the Triangulum Galaxy...?

Has anyone talked with Chris Claremont or Fabian Nicieza about this?
