[Jason Doty]

Defenders 111-115 is on the list twice, which is the proper placement?

[StrayLamb]

DEF 111-115 has to go after A@ 11, SS2 1 & DAZZ 21, so the later listing would be correct. Thanks for pointing that out. I've also added in Marvel Team-Up 108-110 & Iron Man 151-153, which seem to have been left out.

[StrayLamb]

An update.. reshuffled from M/TIO 81 to Contest of Champions, plus some Sub-Mariner flashbacks added.

[Pocokk]

I'm sorry, where is Spectacular Spider-Man 59-65?

[StrayLamb]

Good question, Pocokk, and not just those issues. I've updated the list from Defenders 98 to Daredevil 180, this time with Spider-Man included.

[Pocokk]

Good question, Pocokk, and not just those issues. I've updated the list from Defenders 98 to Daredevil 180, this time with Spider-Man included.

Thank you so much! Honestly I'm just trying to create my Spider-Man list by using the original listing + Your additions/modifications combined and I was kinda lost when I couldn't find those issues here

[Pocokk]

Few more missing issues:

Amazing Spider-Man 220-221 and Spectacular Spider-Man 52 ++ also Marvel Team-Up 113 listed twice.

It seems ASM 220-221 should be around Marvel Team-Up 110.

[StrayLamb]

Fixed - Thanx! I've also fixed Rom and Moon Knight.

[StrayLamb]

Thanks to Frank for help in placing some missing issues, which have been added to the list. Missing Spider-Woman and Hulk issues also added.

[Pocokk]

Hello again

Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man Annual 3/3 is listed twice, which version is the "go-to" ? (according to the original MCP listing, its after Spectacular Spider-Man 58, but as you made modifications/revisits along the way, its not that obvious anymore)

[StrayLamb]

After PPSSM 58 appears to be the correct placement. Thanks Pocokk!

[StrayLamb]

I've made another substantial revision of the second half of this chronology from FF@ 15 down to the Contest of Champions.

[StrayLamb]

Another bunch of updates (in bold) applied to this list.
