Doomsday: The Death of Superman Trading Cards (SkyBox, 1992)
The Death of Superman trading card set retells the entire "Doomsday!" storyline via 90 small pieces of cardboard and, let me tell you, it's not the ideal medium to experience this saga. For starters, why is Superman's arm Doomsday-colored on the box art? Did the colorist think it was a massively deformed ear? I guess the rest of him is ugly enough that it seemed like a realistic possibility.
After introducing us to Superman on the first card, in case you didn't know him (maybe you just like buying stuff with "death" on the title), the next ones tell us how Doomsday punched his way out of his underground prison and started trashing shit at random.
