I think we should drop vol. 1 and vol. 2. They often exclude the first miniseries when a long ongoing followed, so that the numbering of the historic ongoing and the legacy numbering match. See Incredible Hulk vol. 1, Wolverine vol. 1…

Another tidbit or callout for Captain America is that originally issues 620-636 were all titled Captain America and… yet Marvel excluded them.

And for Thor, they went with the “main” comic featuring Jane instead of including Unworthy Thor.

And similar for Hulk they included Amodeus Cho with Totally Awesome.

Last Legacy rebumbering 😛 victim = Loki vol.6 (I think) #1, which officially is supposed to be Loki #027 – but I can’t get the numbers to fit.
– Loki vol.1 #1-4
– Loki vol.2 #1-4
– Loki vol.3 – Agent of Asgard #1-17 (plus a possible #0 taken from All-New Marvel Now! Point One #1)
– Loki vol.4 – Vote Loki! #1-4
– Loki vol.5 #1-5
– Loki vol.6 #1 = #027???
. . . which makes 4 + 4 + 17 (or 18) + 4 + 5 + 1 = 35 (or 36), which is 8 (or 9) too many. But which ones to ditch?? Questions, questions, questions . . .

Keep ’em thwipping!

Understanding that this is a big undertaking, I’d just like to place a vote for the X-Men! I know it’s a gargantuan task but just thought I’d throw that out there if you weren’t sure what you would tackle next! Love your site, love this page! Thanks for all you do!

There was also a four-issue Black Panther miniseries in 1988 (just called Black Panther; no subtitle) that Marvel didn’t count toward the legacy numbering for that series. I wonder if they just forgot about it? I think they consider the Claremont/Miller Wolverine mini to be part of Claremont’s Uncanny X-Men run, but in my opinion it should still count toward the legacy numbering for Wolverine’s solo series.
