Card 179: Hulk vs. X-Factor
Another very recent "famous" battle, but overall a solid card. The Hulk pile-on is good, as is Guido gettting socked in the jaw.

Card 177: Wolverine vs Omega Red
I (genuinely) love that the effect of Wolverine slashing Omega Red in the face is rendered as the old "ptooey! [boxer takes a hit and spits out a tooth]" routine.

Card 176: Punisher vs Ghost Rider
One of the bigger failings of this subset is the sheer number of battles pulled from otherwise-random early 90s stories. It's ultimately more like "Contemporary Battles."

Card 175: Spider-Man vs Cardiac
Cardiac's glow up continues, as he gets on the last Spider-Man-centric Famous Battle card, edging out many classic Rogues (though at least some got covered via the Sinister Six battle).

Card 174: Fantastic Four vs Secret Defenders
Really feels like, in the spirit of the previous card, this should be "Fantastic Four vs the New Fantastic Four", since that's clearly what this Secret Defenders lineup references.

Card 173: Hulk vs Hulk
More of these cards need to be battles that are representative of internal struggles. Wolverine vs his bestial nature! Spider-
Man vs that ol' Parker luck! Cyclops vs fist-clenching angst!

Card 172: Ghost Rider vs Blaze
All else side, it seems like the guy with the shotgun should beat the guy with the chain.
-
Card 171: Warlock vs Man-Beast
Even though this is citing a specific contemporary story, I do like that it takes pains to work in a bit about their original trippy-ass conflict from the 1970s.
-
Card 170: Thor vs. Bloodaxe
One of problems with this more typical layouts - two figures facing off on either side of the card - is that some kind of visual "clash"/impact effect ends up in the center instead of one of the characters.
-
Card 168: Daredevil vs Typhoid Mary
Something about this one just seems really stiff and awkward.
-
Card 167: X-Force vs Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
Easily the most packed cardfront yet. Great profile shots on the back, too.
-
Card 166: Darkhawk vs. Evilhawk
I haven't seen this many metal hawks throwdown since the Silverhawks got cancelled!
I love that the headshots on the back pivot to face us for this card.
-
Card 165: Spider-Man vs Juggernaut
Love a callback to a classic Bronze Age battle in a heavily-90s set like this.
Alex Saviuk? Good at drawing Spider-Man. Who'da thunk it? 😉
-
Card 164: Wolverine vs. Venom
You wouldn't think this pairing'd be more than a one-off, but between Larry Hama becoming the de facto Venom writer & them both being, you know, hugely properly, it was def A Thing for awhile.
-
Card 163: Punisher vs Jigsaw
I'm pretty sure this is George Perez, and it's wild to see him drawing the Punisher.
Love Jigsaw's big ol' eye and Cable-esque jaw on the cardback.
-
Card 162: Captain America vs Crossbones
This might be the most generic of the Famous Battle cards.
-
Card 149: Wolverine vs Sabretooth
Why does the fur fly when these two meet? They're hairy guys, sure, but not, like, Beast or Nightcrawler.
Anyway, Jarvinen gives this a nice, clean, almost Wieringo-esque, look.

Card 146: Cable vs Stryfe
The purple gas cloud is weird, obscuring big chunks of the figures in awkward ways. I guess it's supposed to be time eating them?
