Card H-X: Wolverine
Not sure why this last chase card is so atypical.
There's also 9 variants of cards from the main set w/a gold foil "30 years" over the X icon but they're otherwise the same, so that's a wrap on #XMen Series 2!
Card H-3: Storm
Is this maybe a swipe from Uncanny X-Men #289-#290? I swear I've seen this Storm figure before but can't place it.
Card H-1: Cable
The hologram chase cards are all from Art Thibert. They all seem familiar - either as repurposed pinups or Thibert recreating an image β but I can't quite place them.
Card 100: Checklist
The nice thing about 100 card sets is that the whole checklist can fit on side. The downside is when the extra space gets used for an immediately-dated computer effect.
Card 099: The fury of Storm
And with that, the animated series subset concludes with nary a look or mention of Cyclops...
Card 098: The claws of Wolverine
And now what we all came for: another Wolverine card.
Card 097: The power of Professor X
Is it weird that all the words in the titles of these cards aren't capitalized? It feels weird. "The Power of Professor X" feels better.
Card 096: Beast hangs out
I guess it's cuz the cardbacks are trying to tell a cohesive narrative but it's curious Beast gets highlighted when he was backpedaled for so much of S1.
Also, they skipped Cyclops' intro. π’
