Massively enjoying this slow roll through Marvel history, and enjoying seeing a few of your names pop up in the comments, too.

Oh shit, why did you have to draw my attention to this?!?

(It seems we are engaged in roughly parallel projects. I may have some notes to contribute.)

There's a real rough patch in the late '60s when they were first letting storylines spin out for a year or more and bounce from title to title and it became really tough to knit together a coherent chronology. I'm curious to see how he handles it.

(TBH, I didn't check before assuming that he's actually a he but...come on.)

I'm pretty sure he's a he.

He's up to 1994 which he's acknowledged is a painful path. Today's Ghost Rider reviews felt like... I mean, my soul curdled. (This was around the point I bailed on Marvel.)

"patch," not "path"

Old Lunch, you probably already know about this (long finished) project, but if not, have fun: http://geoffklock.blogspot.com/search/label/Jason%20Powell

You have to wade down a bit, but in essence Jason Powell reviewed every Chris Claremont X-Men comic.

Oh, yeah, I know that one. There's also the Complete Marvel Reading Order site which I utilized in tackling the silver age and is mostly pretty accurate (although I have some minor quibbles). I'll return to the bronze age one day when I'm caught up on contemporary stuff (just starting Standoff, only a few hundred issues to go now, will die never having caught up).

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand he's done :(

"This project attempted to present a timeline or chronology of all Marvel comics. I made it up to 1994.

The site is no longer being worked on and comments have been disabled. The site will remain up in read-only mode for as long as i feel like paying for the domain & hosting."

Yeah, it's sad that happened, that site was a nice place to discuss old Marvel comics with a small but thoughtful and polite community. Can't really blame the guy considering how bad the material he had to wallow through at that point was.

1993/1994 was clearly torture for him; I'd have quit by that point myself (actually, this is pretty much when I bailed on Marvel in real time).

1997, snitches

And … it’s gone.

...Wait, what?! That deeply sucks!

I’m not sure if it’s intentional - yesterday the comics site and the Godzilla site were both still up but his personal blog had been replaced by some like Japanese retail site of some kind? So I wonder if it’s some lapse of payment or something rather than him actively taking everything down.

well the site's back up at least

Whew
