According to Wikipedia, Spider-Man: Down These Mean Streets is 616-canon and takes place after ASM #509.
Also, for Ultimate fans, Tomorrow Men by Michael Jan Friedman is set between Volumes 1 and 2 of the Ultimates comic book series.

No, this would essentially be a reprint and not an original work. Even if it weren't, adding other medium definitely causes problems.
Also, one of the best novels about comics (more or less) is The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon. Anyone read it?

I don't know about novelizations of existing comic book stories, but there are plenty of novels about comic book characters. Which makes me wonder ... in the case of Marvel, do we consider novels such as this or this canon, and if so, should they be included in the order?
