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.

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.

Which card is your favorite?

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."

043 - Weapon X (Wolverine)
For the first time since the first Marvel Universe set, Wolverine gets more than one dedicated card.

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

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.

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

Card #040: Ewoks
This seems like a canonical admission that the Ewoks were going to eat the Rebels.

Card #038: Creature Collaboration
A more primate-like Rancor would have been fun. Seems more classic sci-fi, for some reason.

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.

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.

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.

Card #032: Yoda As Gremlin
Those feet still creep me out, but I continue to dig puck-ish Yoda in his various forms.

-
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.

Card #026: The Death Star
As far as these design sketches go, this is remarkably similar to the final product.

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

Card #023: The All-Terrain Armored Transport
So, are you Team "@@" or Team "A-tee A-tee"?
I have always been the latter.

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? 😏
