Once again, here's my list of what was covered:

Amazing Spider-Man #s 245 to 286
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #s 17 to 20
Iron Man #s 170 to 214
Iron Man Annual #s 6 to 8
Uncanny X-Men #s 230 to 268
Uncanny X-Men Annual #s 12 to 14
Also included was a one page write up about the chronology of the Inferno crossover.

One thing I'd like to point out. The sergeant in Amazing Spider-Man #268 resembled Duke from the G.I.Joe series, and I believe that should have been noted.

Also, in Destiny's vision in Uncanny X-Men #254, there are images of the Fantastic Four and Sunspot, Magik, and Cannonball of the New Mutants. Shouldn't those be list under Other Characters?

Some possible errors:

Joseph Threetrees is listed as first appearing in both ASM #272 and 273. Each one also lists RH #6, '99 as his last chronological appearance.

Polaris is not listed as appearing in UXM #254.

In X-Men Annual #12, it mentions Sir Hogg as having his first appearance. However, a previous Index mentioned that his first appearance was Iron Man #111. Perhaps this was his first chronological appearance? Or there are multiple Sir Hoggs?

Ok, this one's tricky. Havok is not listed as appearing in the first story of X-Men Annual #13. He's on the cover, and he is listed as appearing in the 2nd story, which takes place before the first. The 2nd story also takes place before UXM #245, and the 245 entry mentions him next in Ann #13 (presumably the first story). Also, Wolverine's mention in the Ann #13 entry mentions him appearing in the Havok & Wolverine: Meltdown limited series before UXM #246, but Havok doesn't have that anywhere I could find.
