  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  4. 138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber

    Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

  7. 093 - Forearm

    I really dig this card. Something about the old school "put up your dukes!" boxing pose. Plus the cardback basically being like, "Power: has four arms."

  8. 043 - Weapon X (Wolverine)

    For the first time since the first Marvel Universe set, Wolverine gets more than one dedicated card.

  9. 019 - Khaos

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

  10. 089 - Vulture 2099

    With all due respect to Vulture 2099, he concludes the set's base cards with much more of a whimper than a bang.

  11. 081 - Falcon

    It's not a bad look, but it's a shame all of Falcon's trading cards feature his short-lived 90s look and not his more classic one.

  12. 080 - Lilith

    Shortly after appearing in this card, Lilith left to kick off the musical festival that would bear her name.

  13. 072 - Nightcrawler

    I get what Williams is going for, and I like the texture the visible brushstrokes provide, but I prefer "swashbuckling Nightcrawler" to "misanthropic Nightcrawler."

  14. Card #036:Gamorrean Guards

    Both are very pig-like, but there's something about the initial design on the cardfront that is very dark fantasy in a way the final product isn't.

  15. Card #034: The Rancor

    I like the kind of frog waddle on the cardfront design.

    Also, the Rancor was a Good Boy pressed into evil acts by its cruel master.

  16. Card #033: Bad Hair Day?

    Important to note these cards were out well before the Special Edition inserted Jabba into A New Hope.

    The Jabba on the back has big "Pizza the Hut" vibes.

  17. Card #032: Yoda As Gremlin

    Those feet still creep me out, but I continue to dig puck-ish Yoda in his various forms.

  18. Card #027: Jabba the Hutt

    I don't love the Orientalism being tapped into here, but the bulging belly and Twi'lek-esque head tails are a nice touch.

  19. Card #023: Yoda

    I've always liked the gnome-like proto Yoda on the cardback, which speaks to the cherubic charade he puts on when he first appears but the tripod feet on the cardfront are wild

  20. Card #019: Typical Wookiee Family

    Behold, a rare official acknowledgement of the infamous #StarWarsHolidaySpecial!

    Does directing The Rocketeer absolve Johnston's role in the special? 😏
