Hro DC Unlock the Multiverse Chapter 4

 Unlock the Multiverse Ch 4:  Reverse-Flash is one of the Flash's biggest arch enemies.  Pretty good card to kick off this post with.

I showed off Chapter 2 cards last month and I really wanted to pick up more Hro DC cards after doing that.  The basic design is good.  Hro is no longer in business, but their niche was "hybrid trading cards" with a physical and digital piece to each.  There are QR codes on the backs of these that allowed you to add them to your digital collection.  

We even get characters from the movies.  That variety adds to the fun.  Chapter 2 was Black Adam centric while Chapter gives us The Flash movie cards.

I'm a JSA fan and enjoy the Dr. Fate and JSA pulls.  The JSA card may be my favorite from this box.  I purchased the box on Amazon for $13 and it contained 29 total cards.  The Ray is one of my Holo Parallels but that's hard to distinguish unless you are seeing them in hand.  

The art seems to be from across many different eras and comic books.  I sporadically read comics at best, but I still love seeing art like this.

I was okay with the Flash movie.  I was entertained and think the blowback was more about DC movie universe fatigue more than the movie itself.  Michael Keaton did a good job in his return as the 1989 Batman, and I enjoyed seeing him take up the cowl again.

We'll get to see Guy Gardner soon in the new Superman movie.  I'm really looking forward to seeing it.

The design is really simple but I'm okay with it.  Lots of room for the art while there is enough information and color to make it easy to look at.

Not a Harley Quinn I'm familiar with but still fun.  She's had many different looks over the years.

I really like this card as well.  I'm not sure I'll buy more boxes of this chapter, but I may look at a complete set.  Hro made some nice DC cards.  They aren't cheap though so that may be a long-term goal.  I am interested in some of boxes of other chapters.  The grandsons really enjoy the cards as well which is where most of these end up.  And I do enjoy opening these up.  Does it make financial sense?  No.  We'll see.

2022 Hro DC: Unlock the Multiverse: Chapter 2 Starter Box

 2022 HRO DC Ch2: I liked the Black Adam movie and still think it was more a victim of what happened to the DC movie universe as a whole as opposed to the movie itself.  

These cards by HRO also had a digital presence.  Looks like HRO has gone out of business.  I do like these cards.  They utilize good art, or in the case of Black Adam which had been recently released, publicity photos and/or art.  I'm fan of all three of these characters so another win here.

That first card is an Iconic Symbols card.  I like the simple look and how the art is the focus.

The back of each physical card contains a QR code that would connect to a digital copy, or "Twin," on the Hro marketplace app. The app and website enabled users to buy, sell, and trade the digital assets with other community members. Monthly digital-only pack drops and collection rewards were available through the Hro app and marketplace. (the site and apps are no longer available)

I couldn't find a great checklist for this set.  Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be uncommon with some of these sets.

Had these for little over a year but for some reason I'm just getting around to showing them off.  Just lots of cool stuff.

I like the variety in this box.  HRO DC cards are still available on Amazon and aren't expensive.  I'm sure other resellers have them as well.  Some cards go for high prices on eBay.  I can't find the cards numbers from eBay on the checklist, so I'm not sure how they fall into these sets.

Again, with the movie coming out during the timeframe this chapter was released, it was Black Adam heavy.  I like that.  I miss getting cards from the movies and this will be as close as we get for Black Adam.  I really like the bottom center JSA card.  Pierce Brosnan was such a great Dr. Fate.

Fun box of cards.  I'll get more of these.  Either in the form of sets from eBay or more boxes to open.  I think the grandsons will enjoy opening packs.
