The Marvel Studios logo was switched out before it went to print, for Marvel Animation. It's not a new thing, it's been happening since the first issue, but I only just noticed.

The new Marvel Animation logo had previously been revealed in a trailer for X-Men '97 on Disney+. Recently on ComicBook.com Marvel Studios Head of TV, Streaming, and Animation Brad Winderbaum said, "Part of the rebranding of Marvel Studios, Marvel Television, Marvel Animation – even Marvel Spotlight – is to, I think, try to tell the audience, 'You can jump in anywhere'… They're interconnected, but they're not. You don't have to watch A to enjoy B. You can follow your bliss. You can follow your own preferences and find the thing you want within the tapestry of Marvel."

Well, it's enough for the comic book version of X-Men '97 to drop the planned Marvel Studios for the Marvel Animation version. Though someone might want to tell Marvel Comics' solicitations right now. Because it looks like they'll have to change the X-Men '97 #4 cover as well.
