Marvel Age and/or Marvel Visions were also reviewed, depending on the month in question. Copies of the available issues were added to the collection. The proto-torrent was then made available to a group of editors and reviewers for comment and any resulting issues were addressed. This month there is a fill sub-directory for July 1997 upgrades, as well as a bonus sub-directory. The bonus folder contains a few things encountered while compiling the collection that don't belong in the main set. The July 1997 Fill directory contains an uncorrupted version of Beast 003 submitted to replace the issue posted in the Marvel Comics 1997 July torrent. The Further Adventures of Cyclops and Phoenix (TPB) Marvel Vision 021[/li] Golden Age of Marvel (TPB) Spider-Man Cybercomic issues 058-061 were released in September The Astonishing Spider-Man 025 Essential X-Men 025 Wolverine Unleashed 012 From his soapbox Stan explained the delay in starting the Excelsior line of comics was because of his movie commitments. Under that name the launch never happened. The live action TV series Conan the Barbarian began this month. In it Conan was re-envisioned as a muscle bound Robin Hood fighting to free his homeland. Marvel wasn't involved (they are probably grateful for that). This is one of the shows that helps to define bad TV. Although time constraints will prevent responding individually to comments and PMs, thank you for all the supportive words and messages, they are very much appreciated. Here are answers to the questions received since the last posting. By far the most popular query was: "Are you going to finish it?" Hope so, but only time and your continued interest will tell. The number two question was: Where are the numbers? Unlike the DC Chronology, there is no external numerical system for Marvel to use as a reference. This makes any numbering system used for Marvel an ad hoc invention of the torrent creator. A simple system like adding sequence numbers to an alphabetical ordering by month doesn't add information to the torrent (and in fact makes correcting mistakes, sorting, or identifying duplicates in a collection more difficult). A more complex numbering system, that would order books based on Marvel universe time continuity is well beyond the scope of this project. Therefore, no sequence numbers will be pre-pended to these filenames. And finally, to address another recently repeated question: [color=red]
If you have any interesting Marvel related information for a particular month in time, please PM the details. It may be included in a future torrent release notes issue. If you locate a better quality scan of any issue, or when you find one of the errors, please send a PM with a pointer so it can be fixed in a future release. If you have (or know where to find) any of the Marvel online cybercomics (originally an AOL exclusive) from the late 90s, please make them available to the community (either through this project or as an independent posting). A sincere thank you is owed to the legion of writers, artists, scanners, & uploaders who made this possible. And to you, the downloader: Thank you, Good Night and Good Luck Next up: October 1997.
