Hey Leo! Your help is most appreciated. I am currently doing/fixing the Conan part of the reading order. I am used to doing it myself, but sure could use a helping hand! A few things I'd like you to do though (It's not a rule for it or anything, but to make it easier for all of us):

1. Please add a short note of your addition/removal of issues/stories. This is for readers and people like us who add to the order to figure out why is something placed where it is placed. I'd recommend creating a talk page or giving a quick message to Ryangut or me or someone who you think could help you if you are uncertain about something.

2. Since Marvel's Conan publishing is a mess (even in the new series sadly) we can't do it by publishing order. Maybe aside from the Modern Era of Marvel this is the second biggest part where we jump around creating large time-gaps between issues published. Don't worry, you don't have to read randomly and figure things out. I mostly go by SirMuddy's Conan Chronology, which I've cited at the top of part 2. It has been really done well and it fixes most errors Roy Thomas' chronology created. Of course copy-pasting the whole thing is not really an option either, because some stories and issues can still be in the wrong spot.

3. Relying on the database pages of issues are not your best option, but certainly could help. I think only me and a few folk are insane enough to read everything, so don't worry you don't have to read every issue to make changes to the reading order, but at least please know the issue you are adding to somewhere. We don't need to add full-on-full retell/reprint issues, for obvious reasons, but you can mention colored reprints on a black and white issue, same with heavy retcons (you can find a few examples mostly in part 2). There will be stories you may not find a definite place, in this case remember tip no. 1 please, creating debate pages could always help, and then we can together discuss the story placement and add an explanation notice in the order.

I've noticed you made some changes to other parts of the order as well, I'd suggest doing the same for there, but for modern era changes I think you should ask Ryangut first, as he is in charge of this whole reading order in the first place.

Back to Conan, reading order part 2 is basically done, only newer issues if needed has to be added, aside from that it is complete, part 3 is currently under reconstruction by me, so if you want to help, please do it from part 3 to onwards.

And last thing. Enjoy yourself! Keep in mind these are all just tips, we don't have rules for the order aside from obvious things. However I STRONGLY suggest you explain your changes and be sure of story placements, but I'll leave that up to you! I'll post this on your wall too if you don't mind to make sure it reaches you and have a great fun and most important of all thank you for your help in advance and of course for additions that you've done in the past.

Cheers!
