Card #105: Sam Keith (B)

Much bigger Keith vibes here, in another card that got used in promos and whatnot a lot.

Card #087: Howard Chaykin

This must have been used in some of the promo materials or something; it's one of the images I most closely associate with this set.

Card #073: When George Lucas

The Revenge of the Jedi changeup is one of those great bits of Star Wars lore. I still have the corrected "Return" version of this poster framed on my wall.

Card #069: A Pastiche

The understandable desire to keep Yoda's look a secret also lead the original comic book adaptation to feature the blue McQuarrie-designed Yoda before being corrected in the series.

Card #058: Italian Poster Art

The best part of the cardfront poster is that if you didn't know better, you'd think the movie was about a golden robot and his best friend the space lizard.

Card #051: A Huge Space Battle

Never seen this onebefore. It's a pretty fantastic depiction of the Death Star battle. Love the way it doesn't shy away from the size & shape of the Death Star.

Now that #Xmen Series 2 is done, it's time to dive back into the still Batman-less, even-more-cosmic DC Universe with DC Cosmic Teams, the follow-up to the first DC Cosmic Cards, starting tomorrow!

Card 030: Foes of the Justice League (3)

Okay, Despero I obviously know as a core Justice League villain, but this is the first time I've ever heard of Deconstructo.

Card 150: Checklist B

One thing DC figured out that Marvel never did, getting some creator credits onto their trading cards. Both the individual artists & here, credits for the cardback writer (Mark Waid!) and other contributors.

Card 148: Valor

Mon-El! A character with a deeper film/TV CV than many other more recognizable DC characters! He does have a better claim to being a rookie, having been more or less relaunched prior to this set.

Card 120: Anton Arcane

Trying to decide if it's an accident or intentional that this is the last "Worlds of Magic" card before the set switches to super-villains.

Card 023: Speedball

Great sense of personality here, both on the cardfront and the little smirk on the cardback headshot.

Card 090: Silver Surfer

Classic Surfer card. The medium allows for perhaps the best rendition of his super shiny finish. The reflections in the board are a nice touch, too.

Card 049: Elongated Man

Fun little action sequence on this one.

"Pliable probiscis" is a great phrase.

Card 063: Phantasm

Oh sure, Batman can't be in this set, but Phantasm and his eponymous mask can be. 😏

Card 043: Bloodwynd

When Martian Manhunter wanted in on the "let's slap two nouns together* to make a name" trend of the 90s.

*Can we replace a vowel with a Y? Even better!"

Card 020: Nightcrawler

Alan Davis? Good at art.

Again, the way the figure breaks the too-small frame helps it pop.

Love the mohawk Lilith is rocking here.

Card 159: Ghost Rider vs Blackout

I like how Blackout's face looks like he just got clunked in the head by Ghost Rider's chain.

Card 089: Sleepwalker

Either Marvel thought Sleepwalker was going to be a big hit, or wanted him to be, cuz he got a pretty big push, at least via trading cards.

Like the "climbing out" perspective on this one & the texture of the background.

Card 010: Dark Riders

Of the various 90s era supervillain jobbers, the Dark Riders might be my favorite.

Apocalypse being Prey but his lackies Hunters is a fun nod to how this group betrays Stryfe by the end.

Card 019: Nova

Having thoroughly established their own little corner of the MU by '93, the #NewWarriors get a dedicated page.

I like this card & the sense of movement, but it is kind of funny that it basically features half a drawing of Nova.

Is there a better name in all of comics than, "Matter Eater Lad?" Discuss.

Card 048: Beta Ray Bill

With slots on the Cosmic & Avengers pages filled by other characters, Thor & adjacent characters get slotted into this "mystical" group, which works, but almost makes Thor feel like an also-ran.
