There was a point in the 80's when he also had 4 concurrent solo series as well.

Even four solo series at a time is an underestimation. At one point in the 90's there was Amazing Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man, Web of Spider-Man, Peter Parker Spider-Man, Annuals for all of the above, Spider-Man Unlimited (Quarterly), Untold Tales of Spider-Man, plus at least one and often two or three limited series running at a given time. It was insane, and pretty impressive because most of them weren't half bad (though some were admittedly awful.) Not bad for one character, I'm actually surprised he doesn't have more of a lead.

Edit: Actually, Web of Spider-Man might have become Sensational Spider-Man by that point, but same difference.

That is just terrible editing. Just to put him on the cover to sell books, but saying on the cover he isn't in the book. Just crap.

To be totally Honest: it's from a month when Marvel published every single one of their comics with a Wolverine variant cover (30 anniversary)
I think it's cool. They say something everybody already knew about: Wolverine is selling books.

Does it bother anybody else that Cap's character portrait isn't of 616 Cap?

The Professor X (616) character portrait is of the Ultimate Universe version. Maybe change it to (a scaled down version of) this one?

I get the feeling that the Anna Watson (616) portrait might also be of the Ultimate version, but I'll be damned if I know a good picture of Anna Watson to use, so that doesn't bug me too much.
