AustinGorton014 - Jean Grey
Feels like maybe she should have deflected those missiles further out. π
I like the contrast between her somewhat sedate, demure posing and the energy depicted by the missiles and her hair.
013 - Storm
I appreciate that her flight coming from wind is called out.
(cont.) From that one Christmas wax box, I was able to assemble a full set of cards - and IIRC, nabbed at least a half dozen chase cards.
012 - Archangel
In the running for best Archangel card of all time.
So after getting that wax box for Christmas, I somehow managed to show enough restraint to only open a few packs a day, and was able to stretch it out over break.
011 - Bishop
Nice to get a Bishop card where he doesn't have a gun.
I have a lot of affection for this set - Christmas of '94 I got a wax box (a box of packs) as one of my gifts.
010 - Iceman
Iceman's early 90s glow-up makes it to the trading cards.
095 - X-Men Gold (vol. 2) #1 - 4/5/2017
The "Color Era" kicks off with a quasi back-to-basics approach, to mixed effect.

Fun fact: one of my very first freelancing gigs was a review of this issue (for a long-defunct site).

Don't do it Kitty! You can do better!

Card 086: X-Men Gold
The cardback makes the distinction that the Gold team is mostly OG X-Men & new recruits, though that's really just Bishop. If anything, the Blue Team is a better blend of "60/70s X-Men" & "80/90s X-Men".
