Avengers Kree Skrull War Card Set

This is kind of a neat novelty... a comic book that's a card set!

“This is truly a unique comic book story from Upper Deck,” said Bubby Johanson, Upper Deck’s product manager for Marvel. “Never before has a trading card company produced a unique Marvel comic book story line that is delivered via trading cards. Collectors can seek out the entire set and literally put together the comic book pages, including the cover, to capture a very cool collectible.”

It's a wonder this has never been done before. What a great idea!

I think there was a huge debacle or something around one of Jim Shooter's comics (I think it was Warriors of Plasm) that attempted it in the nineties.

Given how these are displayed in card binders that mimic the nine panel grid, it makes perfect sense. Watchmen would have been ideal for this.

Whats on the back on the cards? Another page, or stats?
