About the London desk

App Work Core began as a paper grid taped above a kettle in a shared office near Queen Street. Print street dates were already on the wall. Digital Marvel NFT comic drop hours were arriving in group chats at odd offsets, so the grid gained a second column: NFT listing windows, written in London time.

Mission

Keep a readable Marvel NFT comic release calendar that a person can audit. Copy what a public listing actually shows. Convert the clock. Separate variant covers. Leave withdrawn rows visible. Refuse theatrical scarcity.

Origin

The first sheets tracked a handful of monthly team books and one anthology. When reprint NFT windows started colliding with first mint hours, the issue cards were split from the weekly board. The variant register came later, after two foil treatments shared an issue number and a Friday night.

People and approach

The desk is small. One person reads listings, one person checks UK offsets around the last Sundays of March and October, and notes are compared before a sheet is considered filed. We speak like newsagents and back-issue clerks, not like a trading floor.

Values

Honesty of the timetable comes first. We would rather mark a date-only listing than invent a midnight hour. We would rather say we are independent of Marvel, Veve, and Binance than borrow their authority. Compatibility language, where it appears, means a file format or a storefront you can visit — not a partnership.

Community

Collectors, shop volunteers, and readers who still buy pamphlets use the calendar to stop double-booking an evening. They reach us by telephone or email. We do not run a lead form, because the work is the board, not a mailing list.
