This is probably very specific to our unique needs at SuperMegaMonkey (i.e. the Marvel reading order project and our D&D recaps) but when writing a recap, it should be in the present tense, so that events in flashbacks and previous issues/sessions can be in the past tense.

Captain Vegan makes his way to the Tofurky Factory (last issue he asked the factory owner to construct a Gigan-shaped tofurky) but that's when the Minions of the Meatball Menace strike.
