2022 Upper Deck Marvel Beginnings Vol. 2 Series 1 Blaster

UD Beginnings 2022:   I've always liked Thor and his look.  I liked the first Thor movie or two as well but the franchise fell into nothing but a laugh fest which didn't do his character justice.  It's a shame as they had really set it up for success in my opinion.

The base design isn't bad.  I like the Beginnings logo.  The headshot.  But something seems to be lacking.  Doesn't mean I don't like them.  Just feels lacking.  The art is fine.  Not sure if it's directly out of the comics but I'm good.  That Carnage is a Red Supernova Parallel.

The backs are fairly simple with some milestones laid out.  I wish there was more color to balance all the white we get on the fronts of the base cards.

Deep Lore inserts give us some deep background cuts for characters.  I do like them as a concept and the design.

Plenty to like on these cards.  Many cool characters.  Don't remember seeing Wendigo on cards before.

Feels like there is art of the team together they could have used here.  The individual art laid out isn't bad but feels disconnected.

Dazzler looking like she's part of Captain Marvel's team.  I've had these for almost two years but I'm finally getting around to posting them.

I don't remember what Cosmic Alpha inserts are meant to represent.  A Point in Time cards highlight a specific key moment in a character's past.

These are fun.  I haven't picked any of these up since buying this box in 2023.  I'll pick up singles as I see them but I doubt I'll go back for boxes or packs.
