  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. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 080 - Lilith

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

  12. 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."

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

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

  14. 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).

  15. Card C-2: Han Solo

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

  16. Card C-1: Darth Vader

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

  17. Card #121: P. Craig Russell

    I never would have guessed Bib Fortuna would be such a popular subject, but I'm pretty sure he ends up with more cards than, say, Yoda.

  18. 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.

  19. 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.

  20. Card #006: Obi-Wan "Ben" Kenobi

    Obi-Wan? Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time...a long time...

    People give Obi-Wan crap for not changing Luke's last name, but it's not like he changed his own, either.

  21. Card 066: Professor X

    Xavier has yet to have a really standout card. This certainly ain't it.

    The red box above his head was supposed to read "Danger Room", but it was overlooked by the production department.
