Well, here it is.... the begining of the CountDown Game 4.

As some of you may know, I did this for Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 & Spider-Man 3. So in keeping up with tradition, I'll be doing this for Spider-Man 4.

With all due respect, this game was originally started by fellow Canuck & Hype user named Reader, who started the first one 441 days left til Spidey 1. Unfortunately, he stopped (or got lazy) with 347 days left. So I carried on for him and I've been doing it since (a little Hype history for you)

It's now 603 days until Spider-Man 4, so I'll be posting the covers and credits of each regular continuity Spider-Man comics begining with Amazing Spider-Man #603 and working my way down to issue #1 every day, adding on the other Spidey titles along the way. As I've stated, I've done this for all three Spidey movies and it was fun, so hopefully, we can enjoy the ride yet again for a fourth time.

This thread helped the time go by quickly while waiting for the movie, so maybe it'll do it again.

I will not be including, like last time, mini-series nor Ultimate Spider-Man.

Special thanks this time will include the Hype's very popular Donald Thomas, who wanted me to use his covers (actually, he begged and there was a cash transaction involved :cwink: ), as well as Eric Gillette of samruby fame....

I'm gonna use both their sites (Mostly Donald's... Eric's will be for research, so give their sites a visit...

Finally, there's always a joker or two who tries to post the covers instead of me... if you guys do this, your posts will be deleted and you will be given warnings... this is my thread for your enjoyment... I'm the guy that posts the covers, so please let me do it...I had clonesy do it for 2 weeks back in 2006 when I was in the Caribbeans, but I gave him permission (thanks again VC :up: )

Enjoy the viewing...

Cheers... :yay:

Themanofbat based upon the amount of time before Spider-Man IV, is this the longest running Countdown?
Spidey rules

Yes... the first one started with ASM #441, I can't remember where the second one started, and the third one was with ASM #526...

GREAT to have this back again! :)

And I don't remember how you've done this before, but how do you/will you treat the "Volume 2" issues? Will you count them by their Volume 2 numbering or the Volume 1 numbering?
 
The volume 2 issues will act as a continuation of the volume 1 numbers...

For example, Spectacular Spider-Man will commence on day #290...
Web of Spider-Man will start somewhere past #129...

The only time it gets complicated is with Sensational Spider-Man...

So will the upcoming "Web of Spider-Man #1" be considered #130 for the sake of this thread?
