Don't you worry Russ, I saw them, just had to get home to my PC to update the post.

And those last few leaves us with a complete run of chronologies from 1961-2019.
58 years of Marvel history.
Quite a way to end the year.

Kudos to Midnighter and Frank, who put in a huge amount of work on this to get it completed..

I concur ! Nice job guys.

A big thank you to everyone for these kind words, friends. It was a lot of work of course, but above all it was a real pleasure to work on these chronologies. I am happy to have been able to share with you finally the pleasure of seeing all the chronologies from the beginning it is gratifying ... and also to be able to return a little what you have brought me and to other users with the fantastic work you do on these timelines.

Best wishes for the New Year guys!

Really a great work, to be proud of! But in reality it is a job that never ends! Best wishes to everyone for a 2020 in which we will continue to place and move stories in the timeline!

This is very true. They will always be subject to revision, but that's a task for the coming years!

I'm sure this has been mentioned in at least one of these chronologies, but just a reminder that these are not "official" MCP chronologies, and do not necessarily represent the MCP's official character listings, although every effort is made to do so wherever possible. Frank, Michel, and myself, along with other contributors, are solely responsible for any and all mistakes and for any deviations from the official character listings. We have basically contributed our own chronologies as a guide for readers, and in an attempt to create starting points for discussion of possible placement errors. Enjoy!

Just updated this index for the first time in three years, adding the most recent threads and updating older ones where there are more recent chronologies later in the thread. It is quite likely I've missed something, so let me know if you notice this and I'll update further.

I feel quite out of the loop, having not been around much since 2020 while pursuing my engineering studies. Pretty much the only comic I've been reading is Conan, though I did read Hickman's X-Men, and always tend to keep up to date with Kieron Gillen (as he's from my hometown, and indeed went to the same high school as I did). Any recommendations of Marvel titles from the past few years that are particularly good?

As I'm now taking a year off before my final year of study, you may well see me around here a bit more frequently. What's everyone been working on? I'm always interested to hear. I'm hoping that this year I'll be able to make a sizeable dent in my ongoing Conan work, though time will tell if this ends up being the case!

Currently I would recommend what Jed MacKay has written, both on Moon Knight and Strange, as well as Black Cat. I am also really enjoying Steve Orlando's Scarlet Witch series (I didn't like much on Marauders and Spider-Man 2099, however).
Regarding mutants, the series to follow in my opinion are Immortal X-Men, X-Men, X-Men: Red and Legion of X. Wolverine and X-Force in second place. That is at least until Hellfire Gala 2023, which relaunches everything under the Fall Of X umbrella: right now all the series seem very good to me.
Of the past stuff you may have missed I would check out the Iron Man cycle written by Chris Cantwell (and the subsequent Hellcat miniseries), the Strange Academy by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos, and I don't know if you followed it before but overall the whole Daredevil cycle by Chip Zdarsky is also very deserving.

Daredevil by Zdarsky, Doctor Strange by MacKay, Avengers by MacKay, and Fantastic Four by North. And, it's a What If miniseries, but Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow (2021) by Zdarsky is great.
