Upcoming Legacy Numbering

Can confirm the Spider-Woman legacy numbering. They don't count SWORD or the Julia carpenter series bc they are considered minis.

Hang on - you can email Marvel asking them about their Legacy Number schemes and they confirm it?

This might solve the Silver Surfer query.

I just this moment received an e-mail from Marvel with the official Spider-Woman legacy numbering scheme:

SERIES COUNT LEGACY NUMBERING
Spider-Woman (1978) 1-50 50 1 to 50
Spider-Woman (1999) 1-18 18 51 to 68
Spider-Woman (2015) 1-10 10 69 to 78
Spider-Woman (2016) 1-17 17 79 to 95
Spider-Woman (2020) 1-10 10 96 to 105

This leaves out Bendis' seven-issue series for some reason, but that's the way it goes.

Are you Alex Harper by any chance?

Shang-Chi vol. 2 #1 out next week will be Legacy #127

Silk, vol. 3 #2 is listed as LGY#27

The Mighty Valkyries, vol. 1 #1 is LGY15

Black Cat, vol. 2 - issue 4 was LGY16, then the covers dropped the practice.

Black Widow, vol. 8 # 6 is LGY#46 (several volumes / series not included)

Noticed in Amazing Spider-Man today that the footnotes refer to the Legacy Number back-issues (#816), eschewing the current series' number (Volume 5, #15 (2018))...

Has this been happening in other series?
Honestly, it's a lot simpler.

Anyone know how "What If" got to #200 in 2011?

Was that a legit count, or something crazy like Deadpool #900?

Well, there was a run of 44 issues that ran from 1977-1984; a "What If"? Special (one-shot) with Iron Man in 1988; and a 115 issue run from 1989-1998. Not sure what else they added in to the count.

That 1977 series actually ran to 47 issues. The -1 issue in the second volume doesn't count, and neither does that special. And you missed a bunch of minis from between 2004 and 2010.

What If? Vol 1 1-47 LGY 1-47
What If? Vol 2 1-114 LGY 48-161
What If? 2004 1-6 LGY 162-167
What If? 2005 1-6 LGY 168-173
What If? 2006 1-5 LGY 174-178
What If? 2007 1-5 LGY 179-183
What If? 2008 1-5 LGY 184-188
What If? 2009 1-5 LGY 189-194
What If? 2010 1-5 LGY 195-199
What If? #200 LGY 200
What If? AVX 1-4 LGY 201-204
