141 - Wolverine vs. the Thing
As someone who wasn't reading FF much at the time, trading cards of this era did a GREAT job of making me think the story where Wolverine slashed Thing's face was a HUGE DEAL.

140 - Wolverine vs. Hulk
One of my favorite of the "Wolverine Vs." cards - both for the visual heft of the figures and for featuring Wolverine's whisker mask!

139 - Wolverine vs. Omega Red
Design-wise, going landscape for these "vs." cards makes sense, but I don't love how the card name stays in the same spot as if the image was portrait oriented.

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.

Who wore it better: Portal Bishop or X-Logo Bishop?

081 - Brood
A relatively action-oriented image relative to most of Sienkiewicz's other contributions to this set. I like that he chose to highlight their flying ability, which tends to get overlooked (and makes them even creepier).
-
074 - Mojo
I don't know if an extreme closeup on Mojo's face is the best way to capture his character, but at least it's an exceedingly well-done extreme closeup from Sienkiewicz, who may well be this set's stealth MVP.

063 - Sauron
Another Sienkiewicz stunner; really captures how freaky it would be to encounter a pterodactyl man.

044 - Mirage
The mystery of whether the MLF's Moonstar was actually Dani...Moonstar...never seemed that mysterious, but this card seems to exist just to tease it.
But it does give us Sienkiewicz on another former New Mutant!
-
033 - Wolfsbane
Back-to-back Sienkiewicz! Not a character he co-created, but another old New Mutant friend.
-
032 - Strong Guy
Check out those tiny little legs! Really underscores how distorted his upper body strength is.
Always fun to see a character's co-creator do their trading card.
-
030 - Polaris
This card is 1000 times sexier than any image of Polaris in the "sexy" gold costume she adopted around this time.
-
021 - Cable
Fantastic card. Love seeing Sienkiewicz doing one of the "later" New Mutants.
This set briefly tries to make Six Pack happen, so Cable gets two Group Affiliations (Domino was flagged as Six Pack too).

-
017 - Nightcrawler
Perfect match of subject, approach & artist. Depicting Nightcrawler coming out of a teleport is clever & Sienkiewicz's abstract style creates the impression of a figure materializing from nowhere.
-
007 - Psylocke
Bill Sienkiewicz with his first card of the set. Sadly, it's not the greatest Psylocke card.

019 - Khaos
Fun fact: writer Evan Skolnick repurposed this character from Dungeon & Dragons campaigns he played in high school & college.

087 - Drax
I've always had a soft spot for the short-lived "Jim Starlin-drawn First Appearance Drax" look, when he's much more just a green dude w/a cape and severe Widow's Peak.

085 - Phoenix
Cool idea, so-so execution (I really don't like Rachel's hair and "tada!" posing).
The Phoenix bird's beady eyes haunt me.

-
080 - Lilith
Shortly after appearing in this card, Lilith left to kick off the musical festival that would bear her name.
-
076 - Shatterstar
In all his shoulder-padded, rectangle-forward, Greg Capullo-designed glory!

-
040 - Vulture
The largest figure Sienkiewicz has painted for this set yet!
The birds in the background are great - it's like "bird, bird, Man-Bird" coming at the viewer.
-
028 - Sabretooth
Sienkiewicz with another essence-capturing headshot. Love the eyebrow styling here.
-
013 - Ghost Rider
Despite this being a Dan Ketch card per the real name, the first appearance citation and panel excerpt is of the 70s era Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider
-
006 - Wolverine
Wolverine on page 1!
As with Hulk, Sienkiewicz uses little details (blood splatter, mismatched eye sizes) to capture the essence of the character.
-
003 - Thor
The big innovation in S2 is laying the cardback text over the comic panel of the character's 1st appearance. While it can make the cardbacks a little messy, in the pre-internet days this is how I first saw a lot of this art.
-
001 - Hulk
The second series of Marvel Masterpieces kicks off w/Hulk, eschewing the quasi-alphabetical approach of Series 1, as Bill Sienkiewicz offers a great depiction of rage - even though the character at the time was no longer a rage monster.

Card 056: Demogoblin
We are now at the "is just a demonic goblin" phase of Demogoblin, no longer a possessed former Hobgoblin/Jack O'Lanterm.

Card 051: Blackheart
Mirroring Loki, but with more stuff going on, so harder to capture a sense of personality.
I didn't realize Blackheart's origin was so specific.
