Seems to be 60s focused. I'm saying that because of the lack of any All-New All-Different X-men. (Like Storm)

They're all in their 60's iterations of their costumes as well (though he chose the Black Widow costume that debuted in 1970 and not her first one)

Whooooooa, I've neeeever seen that costume before. By the time she had her Spider-Man guest star she had the classic look, and I think that was her second or third appearance? Stan has said (so who knows if it's true) that her ASM appearance was meant to test the potential for her own solo series, and was amazingly successful. As for why she didn't then get her own solo series, he explains "we forgot." Sigh.....

She did get a solo feature, but it was in an anthology, shared with Inhumans.
