The following timeline was constructed from the following sources, whose authors I owe my everlasting gratitude for doing most of my work for me--especially Pete Walker's crew and Stan Bundy, who combined have done more research than anyone really should on a shoddily constructed gestalt anime from 1985 which was released only to sell model kits to preteens and teenagers.
According to my recollections, this timeline was thrown together in September of 2001. It took me a weekend or so to figure out where the hell most of these events fit, especially when I'm shoehorning TV stuff to fit the comics, tinkering with comic stuff to fit the TV series, and tossing McKinney's timeline out the window (after Legend of Zor and until the tail end of the saga). Please note that the last several years of the timeline are built on the Early Return Scenario, which says that the the counter-invasion of Earth by the Expeditionary Forces happened not long after the Invid invasion of Earth. This is primarily because the Invid War comic book series and the books that derive from it, Aftermath and Clone, all operate on this assumption.
No, the Wildstorm Productions books are not in the timeline yet. Be patient. I need some time to think.
Please note that all dates refer to the month that the issue STARTED at, with a single exception (Return to Macross #1, which recaps the opening of the Comico Genesis graphic novel before entering the 2004 timeframe).
