Even as we head toward the final issues of Marvel Age, the changes keep on a-coming. This issue introduces a new feature - and from this point on, Marvel Age would feature cover art on both the front and back covers. According to the editorial, Marvel simply had too many great projects at to fit only one on the cover each month.

For this inaugural double-cover month, we have the X-Men's 30th anniversary on one side and the Avengers on the other. Reflecting those covers, we have chats with the writers of the X-books and with new Avengers writer Bob Harras. And both Mark Gruenwald and Stan Lee use their respective spaces to look at the Avengers as well.
