1993 SkyBox DC Bloodlines is one of a handful of 1990s trading card sets to spin directly out of a recent comics storyline. Unfortunately, this storyline is responsible for introducing a batch of characters that have since largely been forgotten.
1993 SkyBox DC Bloodlines Checklist Details
The 81-card base set is a mix of recapping key moments from the comics and showcasing the many new characters. Bloodlines itself was the story thread that ran through many of DC’s 1993 annuals. Aliens, parasites and superpowers all converged on a new batch of characters.
Remember Nightblade? How about Myriad? Pritor? No? You’re not along. The only notable characters to be introduced in Bloodlines was Hitman, who went on to have a wildly successful title a couple of years later with Garth Ennis and John McCrea at the helm. Hitman is in 1993 SkyBox DC Bloodlines as #70 in the base set.
The checklist has just one insert set. Four Embossed Foil cards combine to land 1:18 packs. Each has a different would-be Superman who appeared after the Man of Steel died at the hands of Doomsday. A fifth card, dubbed The One True Superman, was distributed as a redemption so as not to spoil the comics.
