Master Chronology of Marvel 616 Titles

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

So, a while back, I posted a link to a project I was working on: an attempt to assemble a coherent list of marvel trade paperbacks in chronological order relative to each other. At the time, it contained only the past five years, and only the major titles.

It's finished now, and it is, to the best of my knowledge, complete for all marvel titles in main (616) universe canon (except Punisher).

Since I imagine I'm not the only one who likes to read things in order and despairs at figuring out which "volume 1" comes first, I thought I'd post the link to the finished chart in case it was useful to anyone other than myself.

I hope people find this helpful, and if anyone has suggestions for improvements/sees something I forgot to include, I welcome any thoughts!

This is incredibly awesome and detailed. Thank you so much for putting this together!

You are welcome, and I'm glad it is useful to you! Feel free to poke me if any of the layout is confusing; I did my best, but trying to consolidate this much information, I wasn't sure how readable the final product ended up being. ^_^

The awesome people award goes to you!

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! I'm just glad it seems helpful to other people.

You're my new hero. This is both amazing and incredibly helpful.

::blushes:: Thank you!

I tried very hard to make it readable and easy to navigate, but if anything is weird/unclear, please don't hesitate to poke me! The only way to justify the time this took is for it to be useful to more than just me.

I think I love you. Thank you so much for this.

Aww, thanks! I hope you find it useful!

It is like you read my mind or something. I ended up getting Marvel Unlimited and I've about gone through what people recommended in the post when I asked what trades to get. I've been reading a bit here and there, but I wonder where the other titles line up with it plot wise. I was thinking of asking if anyone knew of a resource.

Thanks so much! I'll be sure to let you know how it works out for me.

I decided to make it for exactly that reason: I could find good references for reading orders for individual issues of comics, but nothing for a chronology of trade editions, so.

Let me know if you have any questions!

You're welcome! I hope it serves you well, and if you find any deficencies, please let me know!

I am so impressed with you right now!! Thank you so much, this is incredibly useful.

[sumeria.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I am so glad this is looking useful to other people; it really makes the time spent putting the thing together seem more worth it. ^_^

You absolute hero. This is awesome! Exactly what I need right now as well; recently finished civil war and have had trouble knowing what to read and in what order. Thanks so much for all your hard work!

By coincidence, that is the exact specific problem that made me decide to make this, back when. "What the devil comes after Civil War"?!

(Also, I was trying to pin down where the X-men books where Magneto joins them team were, but the Civil War thing was the major impetus)

Wow, this is a really awesome resource! Thanks for taking the time to make this, and for sharing it!

[quentin-shreve.livejournal.com]

You are awesome! Thank you for putting this together and sharing with us.

I love you so much for this. It's perfect, and exactly what I'd given up looking for. Even the Marvel Unlimited app lacks chronological sorting for events (they do individual issues within the events, but no massive, overall timeline. Thank you for compiling this and sharing!
