I haven't physically checked a calender, but I am going by the SHHype time clock, and it states 1 year & 35 days & so many hours left. (365+35 = 400).

However, in the past, their timeclocks always end on the day before, because the 0 days & 24 hours (and counting) left occur the day before opening day.

And I post after midnight local time, so depending on where you're located (especially on teh west coast), it may still seem like theday before.

 

[imdaly]

I know what you mean about the midnight thing, cause that's when I usually try to update my signature. Countingdown.com is a great place to see how many days there are until a movie comes out, since it lists it by days:hours:minutes:seconds rather than years:days:hours.

The key thing to remember is that you should round up to the nearest day, so if you have, say 400 days and 11 hours to go, you should round up to 401 days. Otherwise you'll find yourself reaching the 1-day-to-go marker at the start of May 2nd.

It's like on New Years Eve, when the ball is dropping, people usually say "Ten!" right when they see the number 10, but then they end up with an extra second wait at the end because they were saying "TEN!" right as the clock changed from 11:00 seconds left to 10:59 seconds left. Then they say "ONE!" at 1:59 seconds...leaving them with 2 seconds left instead of their 1.

It's no biggie though. I love this thread, and the effort you put into it each and every day is incredible. Keep it up!

Finally got into the Clone Saga. Ahhh, a good time in the Spidey comics for me at least.

Man, Web of Death! One of the best Doc Ock stories, in my opinion. It's ashame that they killed Ock and when he came back he didn't know Peter was Spider-Man.

And, of course, Marvel pooping on ASM # 400. I shed a tear, not because of Aunt May's death, but because it was rendered useless. Doing much more damage to a beautiful issue of Spider-Man than anything Sins Past did to ASM # 121.

You can easily forget that Sins Past didn't happen. But everytime you see Aunt May in a recent Spidey comic it's like a figurative kick in the twig and berries.

What a great cover!

#394 already? I gotta get moving...Im from #361 up in the image upgrades, but on the other hand, I have through #230 complete. #358 will be a pain

Anyway, no biggie though, as these more modern covers are "easy" scans,
