ASM #1 stated it has been 13 years since the spider bit Peter Parker. I wonder, could you say how many years it's been since the Dark Phoenix Saga? Or is that not as fixed inside the sliding timeline?

Because of the way Marvel Time compresses, everything sort of becomes sloshy within the bottle of time that is those thirteen years. So to some degree, it depends on the story. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say it was approximately halfway back in that time, so seven years ago—but if you told me a story said that it had been ten years, or five years, I’d buy that as well. Because the scale isn’t consistent—because we’re always adding more time to it.
To paraphrase Matt Smith, “Do not apply logic to Marvel Time”.
