There's something to be said for showing that two or more issues are concurrent with each other, but breaking it down by page and panel seems prohibitively complicated. Is this really a feature editors and readers have been asking for?

In response:

1) This actually has been agreed upon by the majority of admins a few months back.

2) There is a call for it. If they didn't, other users wouldn't be creating "reading order" pages. Readers are certainly interested otherwise these sorts of things would not be compiled. As for editors, it's something that intermediate editors have been able to do.

3) As for prohibitively complicated... How? Anyone who does the proper research can do this. There are the last run of the Official Marvel Index that does this for pretty well every major character up to Siege. Then there is the Chronology Project website (which is semi-official since the chronology people were hired by Marvel to do the official indexes), then there are countless areas you can verify the order of appearances.
