  1. 142 - Wolverine vs. Spider-Man

    Commemorating that one-shot that effed up the Hobgoblin story!

    I appreciate that this is set in a graveyard; Lawlis did his homework.

  2. 141 - Wolverine vs. the Thing

    As someone who wasn't reading FF much at the time, trading cards of this era did a GREAT job of making me think the story where Wolverine slashed Thing's face was a HUGE DEAL.

  5. 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!

  8. 003 - Darkling

    Contrary to the cardback, Darkling is the only character from a '93 annual to debut before that annual - his first appearance is in New Warriors #32.

  9. 001 - Annex

    Similar to DC's "Bloodlines" all Marvel Annuals in 1993 introduced a new character & came w/a trading card of that character.

    Some w/more staying power than others.

  10. 087 - Drax

    I've always had a soft spot for the short-lived "Jim Starlin-drawn First Appearance Drax" look, when he's much more just a green dude w/a cape and severe Widow's Peak.

  11. 085 - Phoenix

    Cool idea, so-so execution (I really don't like Rachel's hair and "tada!" posing).

    The Phoenix bird's beady eyes haunt me.

  12. 032 - US Agent

    Love this card, the way the stripes create a sense of movement along with the deflected energy blast.

    Another "not the character's first appearance" on the back.

  13. 003 - Thor

    The big innovation in S2 is laying the cardback text over the comic panel of the character's 1st appearance. While it can make the cardbacks a little messy, in the pre-internet days this is how I first saw a lot of this art.

  14. 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.

  15. Card #109: Cynthia Martin

    Martin's work on the original Star Wars comic remains deeply underrated - though this card barely resembles her style there.

  16. Card #031: Lando Calrissian

    Love the swagger-y cocked hip with the guard disguise look. Jabba's Palace could have used a little more himbo action.

  17. Card #009: Lando Calrissian

    General Lando is nice, but I would have preferred Empire-era Lando with the cool ass cape and silk blouse.

  18. The full page 8, featuring the Avengers West Coast & Namor!

    Both Tiger Shark & US Agent's cards work better in this context. Love Splice just hanging in mid-air.

  19. Card 072: US Agent

    Love the facial expression, don't love that it looks like he's peeking around the corner of the card, with half his body obscured.
