Story time versus drop time in a collected run

Drop calendars serve the marketplace. Recap boxes serve the reader. When a collector asks Desktop Work Base to assemble a run, we start with the recap, the previous-issue blurb, and any “part three of six” caption still lettered on the splash.

Tie-ins that only show a costume in the background can be marked optional. Core chapters stay in the spine. The NFT arrival date is written on a different strip of the shelf map so it cannot steal the reread.

This is not an official Marvel reading guide and not a Disney publication. It is a local agreement between the collector and the files they actually possess. Missing issues stay missing; we do not pad the list with titles that never landed on the desktop.

Bangkok readers sometimes reread in English while annotating in Thai. Keep both languages on the card. The order is the work; the translation is extra kindness, not a requirement of the library.
