Updates in BOLD from recent forum posts.

[StrayLamb]

Some fine-tuning has been done for the period from early summer to Halloween 1982. This includes placing some Moon Knight issues out of MCP order to keep the series internal calendar intact, which also places the issues closer to publication dates in relation to other comics as well. On the other hand, Dazzler 24 wants to be on Oct 5, but this doesn't fit with the X-Men issues to which it's connected. The X-Men and New Mutants issues that take place around the same time as Dazzler 24 all take place during the summer.

Here's the calendar that i've worked from for this section, which may help to explain some of the placements.
