Is there anywhere I can see some preview pages of this?

It seems interesting, but my LCS doesn't have this, and i really like to see if it's something I will actually like before buying something like this......

Unless anyone objects (Eric?) I can post a page or two via photobucket. Any preference Marty?

No, not really. I'm just curious how this actually looks.

I've been flipping through this issue and I'm enjoying this as always. Very well researched. And since I'm not a fan of 1990s Marvel until 1998, the barebones stuff is useful for helping me grasp the basics.

A few nitpicks:
Iron Man#21 1999 second story says Iron Man was last in Iron Man Annual 1999, but the reverse isn't mentioned.

Uncanny X-Men#408 should be listed as the start of a semi-monthly, not bi-monthly run (given their current popularity it's still amazing to think that X-Men was at various points bi-monthly, cancelled, and all-reprints).

Uncanny X-Men#410: under Locations/Items it's listed: "Vancouver inc Sammy's house, North Atlantic Ocean". Either the comma after "house" should be a semi-colon (which would make it a separate location from Vancouver) or the ocean should be listed as the Pacific, as Vancouver's on the west coast.

Great work as usual, but at least one mistake slipped through. In the entry for Amazing Spider-Man #413, it says Armada has no further appearances, but he appeared in Punisher War Journal vol.2 #4.

Iron Man #7 (98) says Marie Danvers has no further appearances. She appeared relatively recently in Ms. Marvel #31.
