  1. 136 - Thunderbird

    Can't do a collection of inactive X-Men without arguably the most famous one of all.

    Somewhere along the way, I misplaced this card, so these images are from @tradingcarddb.

  2. 135 - Mastermind

    One of the better trading card/static image depictions of Mastermind's powers.

    The power description is reaching a bit; he technically doesn't go into people's minds - he needed help to do that w/Phoenix

  3. 134 - Dark Phoenix

    Can't do a "dead X-Men" subset without Dark Phoenix!

    The description of her powers on the cardback seems to have forgotten Phoenix was also telepathic.

  6. 133 - Mimic

    As someone with a lot of fondness for the (not very good) 60s X-Men stories, I appreciate Mimic getting a card (presumably due to his imminent return as part of the Onslaught build-up).

  7. 132 - Mesmero

    Having a new villain kill an old one to establish their bonafides is an old trick, but it must sting to be offed to make the Dark Riders cool - especially when their best days were already behind them.

  8. 131 - Sebastian Shaw

    One of the fun things about these In Memoriam cards in hindsight is knowing how soon after the cards came out the dead characters would return - Shaw'll be back within a year.

  9. 130 - Goblin Queen

    Not the best depiction of Maddie, but not terrible. I don't recall her being "officially" more powerful than Jean, though. I guess maybe on the grounds she was telepathic at a time Jean wasn't?

  10. two patron saints of being too much: dolly parton and tim curry

    Dolly Parton and Tim Curry died on the same day at 80. Their careers looked nothing alike, but both made glorious excess feel like permission.

  11. 128 - Warlock

    What a great card. To have Sienkiewicz working on this set and NOT have him do the Warlock card would have been a crime.

  12. 127 - Magik

    New category: Deceased (I'm tagging it as #InMemoriam). It's mostly New Mutants & villains.

    I appreciate the cardback text saying "reverted" and not the redundant "reverted back", one of my biggest grammatical pet peeves.

  13. More sad news from the world of entertainment. Peter Cullen, who voiced Optimus Prime in "Transformers," and Eeyore in dozens of "Winnie the Pooh" projects has died at age 85. Here's more from @THR.

  14. I am saddened hearing that Tim Curry has died. And, although I’m equally as emotionally affected by Dolly Parton’s passing the previous day, I fear that Curry’s demise will be overshadowed, as happened with Farrah Fawcett, who had the misfortune of dying on the same day as Michael Jackson.
    I met #TimCurry in 1974.

  15. "Dolly Parton died, Tim Curry died, I’m too sad to do the real news." Here's Megan Seling's story for The Stranger about Dolly's pro-worker stance, how she let her money and her actions do the talking, and what she might have said about Tim Curry's death. "Dolly would probably make some joke about how “Isn’t it just like a man to try to steal her spotlight, even in death?” And he would laugh and laugh because he was also kind and funny, and I hate today; I’m going back to bed."

  16. I just heard that an old friend and colleague with whom I’d lost touch has died. There are lots of things to be said by people closer to them than I had become. But this person was kind, and classy, and creative. And by being all of that, they made the world, and so many other people’s lives, far better. If you know anyone like that, tell them so.

  17. Peter David, the Eisner and GLAAD Media Award-winning comics writer best known for his work on "The Incredible Hulk," has died at age 68. David also wrote for characters such as Captain Marvel and Aquaman, worked on "Star Trek" comics and wrote on the TV shows "Babylon 5 and "Space Cases." He had been ill for a number of years, with a GoFundMe having been launched in 2022 and relaunched on May 20 on behalf of his wife, Kathleen. "Medicaid, which had been taking care of his Long Term Disability, has just dropped him. As a result, medical care and living expenses are mounting beyond current control," the description said. Here's more from @AVClub.

  20. Daniel Kahneman, the Nobel Prize-winning psychologist and author of "Thinking Fast and Slow," died today at age 90. Here's a tribute to him from NPR. "Danny was a giant in the field," said Eldar Shafir, a professor at Princeton. "Many areas in the social sciences simply have not been the same since he arrived on the scene."
