Ethan Whitted | 17 comments In 2007, Scholastic ran one of its mail-in "Book Clubs" in collaboration with Marvel Comics called "Marvel Super Heroes Collector's Club". Once a month for ten months, subscribers would receive a magazine in the mail, along with a pack of trading cards and a thin, paperback book. (Usually around 50 pages.)

I received all ten of those books as a kid. Here is a picture I just took of them next to each other (and another of their backsides which spell out a message): https://imgur.com/a/WXriQDU

Eight of these books are on Goodreads, two are missing. I can add those two later, but the eight that are already on the site should be added to a comprehensive series. Here is the order:

1. Spider-Man and the Menace of Mysterio
2. X-Men and the Battle for Cerebro
3. Doom's Day
4. Attack of the Abomination
5. The Avengers: The Night of a Thousand Ultrons
6. Duel of the iron knights
7. The Fight for Freedom
8. X-Men: Escape to the Savage Land
9. Daredevil & Spider-man a New Hero Rises!
10. Avengers: Galactus Attacks

My proposed name for the series would be "Marvel Super Heroes Collector's Club", but I am happy for a Librarian to choose whatever they think is best. :)

Thanks!

Ethan Whitted | 17 comments Still have not been adjusted yet, could anybody help?

Scott | 9150 comments If they required a subscription, I'm not sure they would be valid for inclusion on Goodreads (in spite of the fact that some have been added by users and GR's indiscriminate importer.)

Ethan Whitted | 17 comments Ah, okay, I never even thought about criteria for books being eligible to be added. All of these books have ISBN numbers so they might still be eligible. I also just checked through the Librarian Manual: Non-book items and these books are not "Stories or books only available via subscription to a newsletter, or via a website that requires registration", so they're probably fine.

Scott | 9150 comments You mentioned in your first post that they were available to subscribers.

Ethan Whitted | 17 comments Yep, but that subscription was not to "a newsletter or via a website that requires registration"👍Thanks for doing a check, though! Wouldn't have accidentally wanted something that didn't belong to slip onto the site!
