The main set is made up of 95 cards, 58 of which are all new, never before seen, hand-painted story cards. There are several chase subsets, which include:

  • • “Early Encounters,” cards depicting events that took place before the full flung invasion, in the 1930s-1960s
  • • “Anatomy of a Martian”: An awesome transparent subset, featuring 6 clear cards that layer to form a fully fledged, all dangerous Martian soldier.
  • • “Mars Attacks Masterpieces”: 5 brand spankin’ new stand alone art pieces
  • • “Join The Fight”: 4 Propaganda poster cards from Steven Thomas.

As a bit of a card nerd, I want these more than I am comfortable admitting, but first I really need to finish my complete set of the original “Awesome All-Stars.” 😀
