Overall the series was really good. I know of several people on the CGS forum that have had it bound. It’s one that I never read originally, but I heard a lot of talk about it later, and the length of the series was perfect for binding, so I couldn’t resist.

Yes, you’re absolutely right. I left them out on purpose, as that project was not meant to be all-inclusive. The annuals, special, and -1 issue stories didn’t do much for me, so I figured it was pointless to make my volume larger and increase gutter loss for issues I didn’t care to reread.

I know a lot of people are very adamant about all-inclusive bindings, but I’m not one of them. My rule of thumb is, “If I wanted to reread this story in 5 years, and assuming my time is somewhat valuable, what would I actually want to read again, and what would I probably skip over?”

I suppose that’s the beauty of binding, that each one is tailored to individual taste

Oh crap also forgot about -1 which could go before #1 since it’s about Pete’s parents.

You are missing the 2 annuals and the Untold SM special with Doc Strange.

I believe issue #25 has a map by Busiek and actually has Annual #2 come before annual #1

There is no “official” placement of the special that really has been up to collectors to decide for themselves.
