  1. 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.

  3. 137 - Wolverine vs. Sabretooth

    New category: Wolverine's Greatest Battles!

    Recognizing what all the kids really want in 1994, this set just goes all-in on Wolverine for one of its categories.

  4. 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.

  7. 023 - Legacy

    Pretty clearly the unqualified success of this "new character w/a trading card" gimmick, going on to hold down multiple volumes of a solo series.

    "Legacy" is still a pretty weak name, though.

  8. Daredevil through the (trading card) ages!

    Which one is your favorite and why is it Series 2?

  9. 002 - Bantam

    AKA Boxing Chicken Man

    I get that the padded crotch piece is an important piece of boxing equipment, but maybe not the best piece to incorporate into your anti-hero attire.

  10. 066 - Black Widow

    Good use of shadow and light, with an almost retro-modernist Bruce Timm/Darwyn Cooke style.

    Are you Team Short Hair or Team Long Hair for Black Widow?

  11. Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda

    So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

  12. Card C-3: Luke Skywalker

    And a surprisingly large Artoo!
    There is also a more rare, parallel set of these insert cards w/refractor foil (ie quasi-holographic).

  13. Card C-2: Han Solo

    Simonson does a good Han; shame he never really got to draw him in the comic much.

  14. Card C-1: Darth Vader

    The primary chase cards for this set are six etched foil cards, each drawn by Walt Simonson.

  15. Card 063: Daredevil
    I'm not sure if there's ever been a year where #Daredevil could have led his own page of 9 cards, but it wasn't in 1993, when he gets shoved into the bottom corner of Spider-Man's page along w/one villain.
    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #RonLim

  16. Card 062: Shock

    Not be confused with Shriek/Mrs. Carnage, Shock is a Daredevil villain sneaking onto the Spidey page alongside her foe.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #RonLim #Shock #Daredevil

  17. Card 061: Rhino

    The "bottom row corner" cards predilection for doing limited head & shoulder compositions can be annoying, but it works really well for Rhino here, highlighting his massiveness.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #RonLim #Rhino

  18. Card 060: Cardiac

    Cardiac is one of those chicken/egg 90s characters: was he a big deal & that's why he got so many cards, or do I just assume he was a big deal cuz he's on a bunch of cards?

    And is there a difference?

  19. Card 059: Spider-Man

    Holding down center square!

    Spider-Man has probably the best/most elegant one sentence origin of any Marvel character, right?

    That DYK fact seems a little obvious, at least in these pre-organic web-shooter days.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #RonLim

  20. Card 058: Hobgoblin

    I like the One Sentence Origin being both accurate but also leaving out, like, a lot when it comes to the Hobgoblin Saga.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #Hobgoblin #RonLim

  21. Card 057: Carnage

    The man of the hour! Coming off "Maximum Carnage" (which, remember had its own dedicated video game adaptation), I'm surprised they didn't put him center square on this page instead of Spidey.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #Carnage #RonLim

  22. 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.

    #TradingCardADay #MU4 #SpiderMan #Demogoblin #RonLim

  23. Card 055: Venom

    New page: Spider-Man!

    This page is laid out such that Venom is leaping down on Spidey, but it results in kind of a small, cramped figure.
