Here's the cover, from the July solicits, for the Uncanny X-Men 500 Issues Poster Book, which is "Thirty-six posters celebrating 500 issues of UNCANNY X-MEN!"
Does anybody else think that it's sad that the cover of a book celebrating 500 issues (and 45 years!) doesn't feature anything more recent than 1990? And that 3 of the 4 covers portrayed are from 1981 or earlier? The most recent 28 years of X-history is ignored on the cover (as is the first 13 years...).
Does that say anything about more recent X-history? Or perhaps about Marvel's opinion of recent X-history? Or maybe it's just me...

Not just you...the late '70s and early to mid '80s run rules.
