What's covered:

Amazing Spider-Man #s 328-366
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #s 24-26
Amazing Spider-Man: Soul of the Hunter one-shot
Iron Man #s 260-299
Iron Man Annual #s 12-14
Uncanny X-Men #s 304-337
Uncanny X-Men Annual # 18, '95,'96
Astonishing X-Men (vol.1) #s 1-4

I haven't read it yet, only glanced through it, but I've found a mistake. There should have been a note that Iron Man annual #14 came bagged with a trading card (#16, Face Thief) like all the 1993 annuals.

I have read it, and great work as usual. I usually go through it twice, which is when I start picking up on the errors. But I found one in my first go-round.

For UXM 304, it says Exodus, next in X-Force #24. That makes no sense, as this story takes place after #25. I am fairly sure his next appearance is X-Men #25.

As always greatly enjoyed the issue. I did notice a couple of errors in the Spider-man entry. Hope they prove useful.

In the Amazing Spider-man #339 Next in section: Spe #165- 168 takes place BETWEEN Web #67, 68
Amazing Spider-man: Soul of the Hunter is listed after Amaz Ann #26 but it happened before Spe#178 because Spider-man mentions that he is still getting over its- Soul of the Hunter- ordeal.
In the Amazing Spider-man #352 Next in section: Spe #178-185 (its listed as coming after Amaz #358) takes place before Web #84 because Spider-man mistakes the separated Demogoblen in Web #87 for Harry (who had fled in Spe #183 as the 2nd Green Goblin). With Spe #186- 190 taking place after Web #89 because Spidey mentions that Richard Fisk was tearing apart their lives.
MJ mentions Liz worry over Harry in Amaz #360 and Peter mentions in Amaz #364 Aunt May's encounter with the Vulture in Spec #186- 188.

So a possible order could be:
Amaz #358, AmazSoH, Spec #178- 185, Web #85-86, DD#300, Web #87-89
With Spe #186-190 taking place after either Amaz #360 or Amaz #363
