Complete 616 Spider-Man Chronology

Hello everyone!

I was the one who wrote up the Spider-Verse Chronology and have decided to start working on a larger and more complete chronology for Spider-Man.

So I present to you the complete 616 Spider-Man Chronology!

You can see the file here.

There are a couple notes that go alone with this, though:

• This is not a complete Marvel chronology. This list only shows Spider-Man’s reading order and history. There are Marvel events (as in Universe-wide events) listed here, but I only included the issues that specifically pertain and affect Spider-Man. So, for example, for Civil War, there are a lot more issues contained with the entire Civil War story arc, that span in to a good number of other characters. But unless Spider-Man is in the issue, I did not include it. The exception to this rule is if there are issues with a story arc that are specifically needed to make the whole reading order a cohesive storyline (which is the case for something like Onslaught).

• This only includes issues from Marvel’s main universe, Earth-616. This does not include things like Ultimate Spider-Man or 2099. The exception being when 616-Peter interacts or goes to another universe (an example being Spider-Men or Timestorm).

• This only includes issues that directly affect or influence the 616 plotline. So there are comics and/or mini-series like Spider-Man/Doctor Strange: Way To Dusty Death that technically take place in 616 continuity, but there is no lead in and are never addressed or acknowledged again. I did not include stories like that, as they do not affect the larger narrative.

• This is a work in progress. I’ve got the bulk of the work done, but I need to add in a couple more things. There may also be some tweaks as time goes on, as I find that things should more appropriately be placed in a different spot. If you have any input on how to improve this (i.e. an issue belongs in a better spot, I’m missing an issue, etc) feel free to let me know and I’ll incorporate whatever I can.

Feel free to share this. I’ll try to keep this as up to date as possible. I was thinking it would be good to update/post this once a month. What are some people’s thoughts on this?
