146 - Wolverine vs. Sauron
Big "side of the van" energy on this one.
This is referencing the story in Wolverine #69-71, which is easily the most recent story in the batch.
Also, Sauron is NOT a mutant.

145 - Wolverine vs. Cable
Commemorating the time Wolverine showed up in New Mutants & fought Cable but I just remember for when Dragoness makes out with Cannoball.

144 - Wolverine vs. Hellfire Club
Commemorating the battle which more or less put Wolverine on the map (give or take a White Queen)! Does a good job of not feeling overcrowded and still action-packed.

026 - Tracer
This might be the most generic-looking character of all these, which is saying something.

005 - Cadre
Mmm...spiky.
I love that Terry Kavanagh saw the "introduce a new character" mandate and said, "I see that and raise you THREE new characters!"

073 - Thunderstrike
I love how Thunderstrike gets listed as an Avenger on all his trading cards - it's true, but also, pretty sure you can count the # of Avengers issues he appears in as Thunderstrike vs Thor on one hand.
-
069 - War Machine
Solid card. Jusko manages to get a good expression out of a metal face plate. The color splatter also helps the central figure pop a bit despite being principally silver/black.
#TradingCardADay #MM2 #WarMachine #AvengersWestCoast #JoeJusko
-
055 - Deadpool
Deadpool's still in his early, relatively-straight-laced, "mysterious if chatty mercenary" phase in '93, so Jusko plays it straight w/a surprisingly strong card. The sight in the background is a nice touch.
-
053 - Cyber
Cyber's initial glow-up continues! Jusko puts a lot into the curled, sneering expression that really captures his whole vibe.
-
050 - Cannonball
Another standout of the set. Dynamic perspective & phenomenal coloring work in the different shades of the blastin' effect.
It's kinda odd Sam's brief history w/the Hellfire Club doesn't come up more.
-
046 - Domino
Domion's stance & the drape of her arm creates a great sense of exasperation, like she's sick of babysitting horned up 20-somethings.
The back panel image is technically Copycat (as the factoid suggests).
-
044 - Ravage 2099
Stan Lee's last notable creation, the 2099 imprint's only original main character. In true Stan fashion, his last name is "Ravage."
They really should have spaced out these #Marvel2099 characters a bit more.
-
043 - Doom 2099
I always kind of liked there was one 2099 character who tied directly into the present day comics.
Great stuff from Jusko; you can really feel the crackle of the electricity.
-
042 - Punisher 2099
"What if the Punisher...but with...future guns.?"
Some of the 2099 reimaginings worked a little harder than others.
-
041 - Spider-Man 2099
Thanks to the second Spider-Verse film, this is the one 2099 character who is probably more well-known now than in 1993.
-
034 - Stryfe
Bless Joe Jusko for painting all those spikes.
This is just about the last year Stryfe can legitimately claim being deserving of a trading card.
-
030 - She-Hulk
Guest-starring Ultron!
Jusko knocks it out of the park with this one, capturing both She-Hulk's power and personality in one image.
-
029 - Forge
This card is important because it immortalizes Forge's 1980s, popped collar, short-shorts first appearance look in trading card form.
-
023 - Iron Fist
I appreciate that Jusko is doing characters he didn't do in the first series.
-
019 - Carnage
Jusko with a card that would feel right at home in Series 1 (Carnage, having just debuted, did not make the cut). Love the sense of depth created by the symbiote tendrils.
-
012 - Vision
Joe Jusko, who painted every card in Series 1, makes his Series 2 debut w/Vision's first Masterpieces card.
By 1993, he'd gone back into the red body, also making this the first non-White Vision solo trading card. -
010 - Storm
Another weird Kaluta card I've never loved; not sure what wolves and...rat people? Maybe Spidey villain Vermin? have to do with Storm.
-
008 - Doctor Strange
A much better subject for Kaluta's more representative approach.
Secret Defenders shout out!
-
005 - Spider-Man
I like the sort of representational idea behind this card, but it's never been one of my favorite Spider-Man cards. Spidey is so visually iconic he should easily pop, but the spider legs are too distracting.

Card C-6: Princess Leia
Wrapping up the chase cards - and the set - with Princess Leia.

Card #126: Brian Stelfreeze (A)
Great Leia. Another card heavily used in the promotion of the series.

-
Card #116: Allen Nunis
I agree, this is a cool look.
There's been a few different "Leia gets the Boushh gear" stories through the years, but none that have ever quite hooked me.

Card #108: Esteban Maroto
More Bikini Leia, though this is casting a bit of a wider net and channeling more of the saga's John Carter influences.

Card 008: Deathlok
The coloring on his head is effective & subtle, yet his arms, legs & gun all blend into the background.
"The computer network known as cyberspace" is a chef's kiss of "this card is from the early 90s."
-
Card 003: Siege
We all remember notable Deathlok baddie Siege, right?
This is not limited to this series, but once again, I am irritated by the cardbacks being landscape instead of portrait.
