Have there been any more Marvel books with cards ? Anything planned ?
Hard to tell from the Abrams website.

I did receive it in my comic order. It's an awesome book, very much in the style of the ones based on the vintage Topps cards.
Here's the four bonus cards.
One of them shows the 9 card "Danger Room" puzzle on a single card, while the other three present the complete Jim Lee gatefold cover from "X-Men #1" (Volume 2), which if I'm not mistaken remains the greatest selling single issue (albeit with 5 different covers, which greatly helped juice the numbers) of all time at something like 8 million copies sold.
At a minimum, there should be another book for the followup X-Men Series II Skybox set which was issued a year after the original set.
Hopefully, they'll tackle some of the other Impel/Fleer/Skybox superhero sets of the era in future books. I'm also hoping they're not totally finished with vintage Topps cards as subjects for this handy-dandy treatment.

This isn't by Topps, but it is sort of related to the discussion above.
