About the Fenchurch Street desk
App Path Grid is a small London research desk that treats mutant-team comics as an archive problem: paper, reprints, and digital collectible pages in one folder.
Mission
We write notes that help a collector place an X-Men issue, a reprint, and a related NFT comic page on the same mental shelf. The work is informational. We do not run a shop floor, a wallet, or a drop calendar that pretends to be a publisher schedule.
Origin
The desk began after years of London comic-mart tables where people arrived with a polybagged Uncanny issue in one hand and a screenshot of a motion cover in the other. The mismatch was archival, not financial: the same pose, two clocks, no shared filename. App Path Grid exists to write that shared filename in English.
Expertise
The people at the table read mutant-team books as serials. They know when a Wolverine solo interrupts a crossover, when a New Mutants classroom issue is actually a stealth X-Men chapter, and when a digital crop is only a splash-page fragment. They also know the limits: we are not Marvel staff, not graders, and not market makers.
People
Priya Nair keeps the paper stacks, indicia notes, and reprint pagination. Owen Hale matches drop windows and edition labels to those notes. Lila Brooks writes the public field notes so the language stays about comics rather than about tokens as investments. Visitors meet whoever is on the Fenchurch Street floor that week.
Working approach
Sessions are conversation first. Bring the issue, the trade, or a still of the digital cover. We look, we write, we hand back a card. There is no account to create on this website and no questionnaire to submit through a browser.

Community
The audience is collectors, librarians of personal stacks, and readers who want a mutant-era map without a sales funnel. If that describes you, call or email. The address is printed in the footer exactly as we occupy it.
