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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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

Card C-5: Obi-Wan & Yoda
So these two can be double-billed, but the droids have to make unnamed cameos. 😏

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

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).#TradingCardADay #SWG1 #StarWars #EtchedFoilChase #LukeSkywalker #R2D2 #WaltSimonson

Card C-2: Han Solo
Simonson does a good Han; shame he never really got to draw him in the comic much.

Card C-1: Darth Vader
The primary chase cards for this set are six etched foil cards, each drawn by Walt Simonson.

Full Marvel Universe Series 4 nine card "Spider-Man" (with a dash of Daredevil) page by Ron Lim!

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 -
Card 062: Shock
Not be confused with Shriek/Mrs. Carnage, Shock is a Daredevil villain sneaking onto the Spidey page alongside her foe.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
