Comics in your Cereal

This time General Mills and DC comics unite to bring you something special. Do you ever wanted to have a free comic in your cereal box? Well now is the time to enjoy a good breakfast while you read a comic book.

First of all they did an excellent job in making all the cereal mascots wear one of the dc super heroes costumes. In this box you can see Buzz Bee the mascot of honey nut cheerios as batman. By the way they also did the other general mills mascots, Trix and Coco Puffs for example, Trix was Superman and Coco Puffs was The Flash. 

In the back you get a cool image of Batman. If you get all of the boxes you can have a really cool image of the justice league, but you have to collect all 5 boxes to have it. Another cool thing that they added in the back of the box is a little trivia. The trivia is about things that happen or are happening in the DC universe, so it's really fun to do, even if you are not sure of the answer you can check them at the bottom.

Finally the comic itself. Ok, the box is nice and all, but you are here for the comic, just like every kid that buys a cereal just to get that special toy. You can get one of the 4 different comics, so yes, you can get a double if you buy more cereal boxes. This time I got comic number 2 called dark reflection. 

The story in this comic is a one shot. So you can expect to begin and end here. That is really cool, so you don't have to be on a hunt for the other ones in order to finish the story. As I have mention before this story is called dark reflection and here you will see the justice league fighting against his evil counterparts from another part of the multiversity.

Finally here is a comparison between the cereal comic and a normal comic. As you can see there is a notable difference in size between them. I don't know why they didn't make it a normal size, because you can fit a normal comic inside the cereal box. 

DC Comics at Wal-Mart.

It's been a long time since I have been posting here, but here I am again with a new things to share.

This time I'm going to talk about comic books, but not any comic books, I'm going to talk about comics that you can get at your local Wal-Mart store at a really good price. First of all there are regular comics that are in packs of three, those are single issues and there is also a special paperback.

The special paperback is a showcase magazine, for those who may not know a showcase is where you will find important stories about a single character or a group of characters. You can buy this at Wal-Mart for only 10 dlls. It contains 5 different stories, those stories are Batman Rebirth #1 , Wonder Woman #1 from the New 52, Batman and Robin #30 from the New 52, Batman #13 from the New 52 and Justice League Rebirth #1. 

This is an image of the inside of the showcase magazine. In this picture you can see part of the story of Batman #13 that is part of the death of the family saga which was a big hit. This issue had a lot of print because it was on high demand. In this case what DC comics or any other publisher does is make different covers to differentiate the first print with any other number of print. 

Now let me talk about the single issue packs. These are only five dlls for three comics, you can see the first comic that you are going to get, no problem, but the other two are going to be random. As you can see I choose a Batman and a Flash comic. At the back there is an add about the other issues that you can get. 

For the first pack I got Batman Rebirth, Green Lantern #37 and Futures End: Earth 2. The Batman Rebirth is a different story from the one that you will get in the showcase magazine, so that is really cool. The Green Lantern one is part of the God Head story saga which tells the story about how High Father and the New Gods want to collect all the color rings to make a "better world" and destroy Darkseid once and for all.  And finally the Futures End one is a one shot story that happens in a distant future where Brother Eye takes control of the earth. You can find different superheroes or titles that will talk about that hero or group of heroes in specific.

Finally the other pack that I got is the Flash one. That had Green Lantern #35 and Futures End: Batwing. The Flash comic talks about how the rogues are missing from central city and Flash wants to know their whereabouts. The Green Lantern story talks about the "God Head" storyline which for some lucky reason I got two comics from the same character and storyline. The Futures End: Batwing talks about how Batwing is struggling in having a normal life with all the chaos going on in the city and making a plan to stop a big squad of bad guys.

So, that's all for today hope you enjoy reading this in watching the photos. I will try to update more often and bring some more random stuff. Thank you for spending your time reading and have a great day.
