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.

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.

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.

Fleer Ultra X-Men Series 1 combined Excalibur triptych

123 - Excalibur Part 3
I appreciate that Feron's cloud head is on Rachel's card. Poor Micromax doesn't make the cloud head cut (he does at least get name checked on the card back).

122 - Excalibur Part 2
I messed up yesterday & jumped from X-Men Blue to Excalibur, but I'll finish out the triptych then go back.
It's too bad Widget couldn't make it onto Kitty's card since, you know, it's her.

115 - Excalibur Part 1
Thanks to the fact that Excalibur at the time was only three members, this triptych basically serves as second cards for those members - w/past team members in the background as heads-in-clouds.

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).

019 - Shadowcat
With this set apparently laid out in the short 4 issue window when Excalibur was composed of just three members, it also means it's the first set to feature Kitty in her new post-puffy blue sleeves look.
-
018 - Phoenix
On her way out the door for a solid chunk of years, Rachel gets one of her better trading card depictions. The look of serenity on her face is a nice touch.
-
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.

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.
-
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 C-4: Chewbacca
Guest starring a concerned looking Threepio!

Card 095: White Queen
In a set w/no shortage of sex appeal, this is probably the most cheesecake-y card of them all. It's a great piece, as much for the intricate background as the figure work.
