149 - Wolverine vs. Lady Deathstrike

Unlike most of the "Vs" cards, this one speaks more generally to their rivalry vs. showcasing a specific battle. Though the quasi-snowfall on front channels Uncanny #205.

149 - Wolverine vs. Lord Shingen

Now THAT is some Wolverine hair!

Too bad this card isn't the earlier fight between them when Wolverine is all sad sack and Shingen whoops him with a wooden sword.

147 - Wolverine vs. Punisher

This is Zeck basically redoing the cover of Punisher War Journal #7.

146 - Wolverine vs. Sauron

Big "side of the van" energy on this one.

This is referencing the story in Wolverine #69-71, which is easily the most recent story in the batch.

Also, Sauron is NOT a mutant.

145 - Wolverine vs. Cable

Commemorating the time Wolverine showed up in New Mutants & fought Cable but I just remember for when Dragoness makes out with Cannoball.

144 - Wolverine vs. Hellfire Club

Commemorating the battle which more or less put Wolverine on the map (give or take a White Queen)! Does a good job of not feeling overcrowded and still action-packed.

142 - Wolverine vs. Silver Samurai

I wouldn't have expected it, but Silver Samurai against a gray/white backdrop actually pops a little.

142 - Wolverine vs. Spider-Man

Commemorating that one-shot that effed up the Hobgoblin story!

I appreciate that this is set in a graveyard; Lawlis did his homework.

141 - Wolverine vs. the Thing

As someone who wasn't reading FF much at the time, trading cards of this era did a GREAT job of making me think the story where Wolverine slashed Thing's face was a HUGE DEAL.

140 - Wolverine vs. Hulk

One of my favorite of the "Wolverine Vs." cards - both for the visual heft of the figures and for featuring Wolverine's whisker mask!

139 - Wolverine vs. Omega Red

Design-wise, going landscape for these "vs." cards makes sense, but I don't love how the card name stays in the same spot as if the image was portrait oriented.

138 - Wolverine vs. Cyber

Cracking these packs as a kid, I didn't realize just how many Marvel greats worked on this set. We've had John Romita Sr., Bill Sienkiewicz, and now Mike Zeck.

137 - Wolverine vs. Sabretooth

New category: Wolverine's Greatest Battles!

Recognizing what all the kids really want in 1994, this set just goes all-in on Wolverine for one of its categories.
