As ever, please remember that the solicits are needed months in advance, and as such the starting points listed are entirely fictional.

Not *entirely* fictional ... certainly they're our best guesses at the time. But yeah, Punisher and GR are going to be WAY off when the real #3 comes out.

(But the Wolvie section of #3 will actually start with #71. I was close!)

-Jeph!

One nitpick so far: The Note for Ghost Rider #13 notes a tombstone named Cris but unlike the other two tombstones doesn't clarify the significance.

Another mistake in the entry for Ghost Rider #13: in the synopsis, Dan Ketch is referred to as "her" once.

Another Mistake: the note for Ghost Rider Annual #1 neglects to mention that the book came polybagged with a card of Night Terror.

Yet another mistake: in the entry for Wolverine #83, Simpson was not included in the Other Characters section, although what I asume is his profession (geologist) was.

There's got to be scope for a killer no-prize there, surely.

I'd love to see the explanation as to why that's not really a mistake, as per traditional no-prize rules.

That's what I meant. But I haven't got the issue yet so I don't know the paragraph.

The line is "The next day, Stacy tries to get Dan to take her out on a date, but her brushes her off to continue his quest."

Duh. Obviously the artificial being known as Her (Kismet) decided to help Dan by being a go-between. Unfortunately, she was pretty rude...

For Wolverine #100, it doesn't mention that Spyne, Deadbolt, Lifeforce, and Hurricane are all next seen revived by the transmode virus in X-Force #21. (Please check that. I don't have access to those comics anytime soon. Just moved!)
