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.

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.

076 - Shatterstar

In all his shoulder-padded, rectangle-forward, Greg Capullo-designed glory!

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.
