059 - Cyber

Cyber w/relatively normal proportions reminds me of just how consistently heavily-stylized his early appearances are - Sam Keith, Larry Stroman, even Adam Kubert. This card may be the first time he's looked "normal."

058 - Juggernaut

Not the most dynamic of Juggernaut cards, but there's still a good sense of movement and a pleasant "solidness" to the figure that works well.

057 - Deadpool

Nice card, but not doing those Spider-Man allusions no favors. 😏

056 - Mr. Sinister

Another year without any stories offering concrete background info on Sinister, another Sinister trading cardback trying to say something about nothing.😁

Having him holding Wolverine's (old) mask is an odd choice.

055 - Magneto

An iconic Magneto to kick off the first full Super-Villain page. In a nice touch, the color shifts to purple for the bad guys.

I think this is the only place I've seen the Acolytes referred to as the "Mutants of Avalon."

054 - Colossus

Unlike Feral, Colossus - who threw in w/the Acolytes since the last set of cards - rightly gets listed as a Super-Villain.

I like too that he leads off that section. Not sure why he's fighting Doc Ock though.

053 - Copycat

Having Copycat - a character connected to Six Pack if not technically a member - painted by Brereton makes it even more inexplicable that he didn't do Hammer.

052 - X-Treme

I like to imagine he's yelling "TO THE X-TREME!" in this image.

051 - Maverick

Well now, that mutant power is just flat out *wrong*. And I have no idea where it even came from, as that's not really close to anything superhuman we've ever seen from Maverick.

050 - Hammer

"Eisenhower Hammer" is one HELL of a name.

It feels like a missed opportunity to have Dan Brereton paint every Six Packer BUT Hammer.
