Set of Marvels, properly printed

That would be borderline stepping on their trademark since: we would be producing cards with their name and they likely do the same -- that's a direct infringement if I understand it correctly. Even if we don't use logos, people could reasonably expect that something with "Marvels" printed on the card would be produced by "Marvel". My law professors have taught me that "reasonable" is an extremely important word when determining these things.

Alas, without further ado, here's a picture of Thor's Unfettered Might to celebrate me finding 46 of 92 images:

Wow! Great Thor card and art choice. Obviously the less word balloons, the better.  :)

Jack

It's not like I'm purposely choosing images with bubbles :P

Just trying to finish the remaining 46, Thunderbird is impossible to find since he kinda died early on. I might have to look into really old comics.


Jack

I guess I might have to source newer images for Thunderbird, I'll consider those. The second image is too similar to the current set of Marvels so I won't be using it.

you could cheat, and go with a picture of warpath, since they looked identical up to the mid 90s

I thought that too. Warpath did use the Thunderbird name for a bit.

Jack

I'll consider that, though if it's sourced from a "Warpath" title comic book, I'll have some explainin' to do :P

There's only about 5 panels with Thunderbird in it from 1994-2002 and none of them are worthy. I'll dig deeper after I finish the rest up.

The Thor card looks SICK! I cant wait till this set is complete. Do you have pics of any of the other cards besides the couple on this post?

Jack

I can't guarantee they will look as awesome as the Thor one. I'll try releasing some previews as I reach certain milestones. Any characters in particular?

KObossy

After 50 years of no new cards I'll get excited about any card! :o

Jack, excellent work on the Thor. Far better than the one I found.

Can you post the list of which heroes you're still looking for?

for shang chi, i don't have the issues on me, so i can't reference any specific panels, but he appeared in x-men 62-64, pencilled by carlos pacheco (1997)

Yep, those are the ones I've looked at, there's one panel I have in mind. It's tricky because the card is both defensive and offensive in one, it's really had to find a panel that depicts both. I guess I should just go with one since there isn't much to pick from.

EDIT:
That panel doesn't work, it's too small. :(
