About the index desk

Web Work Base started as a London reading table for collectors who could not agree which Marvel NFT comic chapter came next. It remains an independent chronology practice, not a studio and not a marketplace.

Reading table with stacked books in a quiet room

Mission

We write down storyline order for Marvel NFT comic drops so a reading stack can be shared without shouting. The work is indexing: titles, beats, crossover flags, and gaps. We do not claim the stories, the art, or the tokens.

Origin

The desk opened after a Gresham Street meet-up where three collectors held the same event banner and three different “next chapters.” One copy was a motion epilogue, one was a cover homage, and one was the actual tie-in. Filing those objects on paper ended the argument faster than a group chat.

Expertise

The people here read pamphlets, trades, and digital drops side by side. They care about recap pages, backup strips, and whether a cliffhanger is resolved in still art or in a timed motion file. They are not graders and not auctioneers.

People

A small editorial table handles spines and maps. A notes keeper maintains ledger templates. Visitors meet the same telephone number that is printed in the footer. There is no account portal because there is nothing to log into.

Working approach

You describe the drops you care about. We compare interiors where you can show them, or we work from publicly stated titles when you cannot. We mark uncertainty instead of inventing issue numbers. Finished sheets are yours to keep.

Values

  • Plot order over mint order
  • Covers filed apart from interiors
  • Clear independence from rights holders and platforms
  • No fake scarcity and no countdown theatre

Community

Reading groups in London and further afield use the sheets as a shared spine. Retailers use them when a customer asks whether a portrait drop belongs in a story box. We stay a local analytical utility: informational, not financial.
