MARVEL CHRONOLOGY PROJECT

[jasongrace]

The marvel chronology project is a website listing  every single appearance of every single marvel character, which I'm sure you can imagine, is very useful if you're wanting to start reading marvel. Can be a bit confusing, seeing as the titles are all acronyms and you have to use the key to figure out what theyre talking about, but that's still easier than going in blind and just hoping you're reading everything in the right order!

One caveat, though. If you're looking for a character like, say, Captain America or Wolverine, who've been around for ages, you're going to be better off trying to hunt down some recommended reading rather than just tackling everything they've ever been in through this because there's some long lists on here. This site is best if you're looking to get into lesser-known characters who don't have as many gratuitous cameos

Thanks for posting this! It looks like a great resource.

I remember reading somewhere that, when you measured out all the crossovers and cross title appearances of comic book characters, Captain America won by a loooong margin.

I hope it helps!
I think there are a few DC characters who might beat him out (namely bats and supes), but in Marvel comics for sure! He's a dinosaur, made in the 40s where most of Marvel's characters (the well-known ones, anyway) were made in the 60s, and his name is Captain friggin America, so he ends up getting shoved into a whole lot more stuff than most other characters because Patriotism™ lol
