2016 Cryptozoic DC Comics: Justice League - Model Sheets #MS8 - Martian Manhunter

You might say, "Hey Frank, aren't you glad to have another chase card featuring a classic style J'Onn J'Onzz to help fill out your month of posts?" If you know me at all, positivity is not my default, so who are you and why are you making suppositions on my blog? The base set is only 63 cards with 5 cards per pack and 24 packs per box. That means you're only getting one base set at most per box. The Model Sheets chase subset is one in three packs, so the odds favor your being at least one card short of completion out of a box. These cards are just reprints from the 1980s DC Style Guides, which were already fairly accessible online, have been used constantly on 21st Century licensed merchandise, and they've mostly all been collected in a hardcover edition within the past year (I bought two.) Having familiar stock images (which I'm not even confident are by the same artist) remixed on a trading card is not getting me high. Also, they keep making Manhunter the eighth card in these subsets, despite being one of the seven founding members. It irks.
