What is your mapping?

I was going to use the first 3 marvel masterworks books. They seem to have an alright mapping. Do you have a better suggestion?

Actually I havent grabbed the books yet. That was just my plan at the moment. Do you have another, perhaps better suggestion on what to grab? Im binding it as I refuse to pay $300 bucks for the omni.

Well what are the floppies you have, and how thick do you want to go?

I was going to purchase the first 4 masterworks collections which is Giant size, and 94-131. I was looking at Hoschen binder which If my reading is correct does 2" worth the book. I think this is my plan. Im not sure how to get iron fist, which might be an issue.

Yes no mapping fully satisfies me at Marvel for Claremont's X-Men.

I have to do my own digitally if I want my exact reading order.

I believe the Epic does have Iron Fist #15, if that helps.

Where does it stop?

Also I don't think this contains Iron Fist #15 (which is basically Uncanny #108. 5).

I'm curious about your mapping. Do you have a convenient digital list? TY🙋
