X-Men Reunion
This is the best quality image I could find of this Joe Quesada poster, featuring everyone who had been a member of the X-Men at the time of publication.
One could date this poster pretty easily, I think. Revanche and Bishop are there; Cable and Cannonball are not. That's not a huge window on X-history, I don't think.
It's got to be early 1995 at the absolute latest, then. Cannonball joined the team immediately after AoA. I noticed the lack of Marrow, Reyes, and Maggott and was working backward from that, but you're right that the absence of Cannonball is a bigger clue.

ReplyDeleteIt was 1994, did around #75. It was an insert, and given as a free advert. I still have it somewhere.
