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.

Black Adam (NO SPOILERS:

 Black Adam:  Thanks to our small town theater I got to see this one last night.  I've really been looking forward to it and I really enjoyed it.  That said it is flawed and I'm probably easier on movies than most.  First and foremost The Rock is a great Black Adam.  He's perfect for this character.  He's menacing and he wasn't over the top at all.  The rest of the cast and characters were good as well.  But the movie made things too easy or just ignored things that made you go hmmm.  Reviews have not been kind.  

I really did like Hawkman and Dr. Fate - also nailed the casting.  The other lead characters were really good too.  The Justice Society has many great heroes I hope to see in the future.  Black Adam's origin was fine.  The fighty fighty was good. The protagonist was fine but really didn't get much time to shine.  Again it was really the story that let us down.  But it was entertaining I think they were really close.  The two hours flew by for me.  Can't wait to see Black Adam in future movies assuming it goes that way.  There is a mid-credits scene to hang around for.
