These are showing up a few weeks later than usual, but nevertheless the latest round of Walmart comic bundles are available at a Walmart near you (that carries trading cards that is, as these are in that section).
There are 8 bundles in this round (thanks to eBay for the pics ):
Note: For any variant fans, the cover of Batman '89 #1 above is different than the regular retail edition. The Walmart version has blue behind the DC logo and Bat-emblem, while the standard release has orange in both places. Not a big variant, but if such things strike your fancy, now you know.
My local shop doesnāt carry DC comics and I would love to get my hands on Superman '78!! I dont know that I would care what the others are! Looks like Iāll be stopping at Wal-Mart this week.
As Ryan āGreen Lanternā Reynolds once said, āBut why?ā
@chintzybeatnik There are many series in this wave of bundles I havenāt yet read anything from, such as Task Force Z, I Am Batman and Black Manta, so theyāll be fun to sample via these sets.
When you find the Batman '89 bundle, please share the other books in it, if youād be so kind.
So to get a bundle of comics, Iād have to track down an employee, then have them riffle through and pick the one I want. Too many hoops to jump through to be worth it, sadly.
My local guy stopped getting DC when they switched shipping service. So how long has that been? Its been awhile since he got any new DC in. He does get Graphic Novels and he has some older back issues. He recently moved and he said business has picked up so maybe heāll start carring DC again.
And Terrific Toyman, I live in a small town with another small town right beside us and each one has a Wal-Mart. Their probably 20-25 minutes apart. It sounds crazy to me that your next closes is an hour! But Texas is bigger than Ohio. Lol
I still need to go look for those books.
I bought 5 of the different packs from my local Wal-Mart and there were many different books but one I did get several of. Dark Knights of Steel #2 was in all 5 packs.
Iām always surprised when I hear of stores that donāt carry books from one (or more) of the major publishers, as thatās not only inconveniencing the customers that want those books, but those stores are then sending those customers, and their money, into the hands of competitors that do carry the publisher/books that the other store doesnāt.
Anyhow, best of luck in getting the Superman '78 #1 bundle. Itās a solid issue (and series).
Interesting.
This makes me wonder if DKOS was focused on just for this wave, or if subsequent issues of the series will be in future bundles throughout 2022 (with the next series due in March).
Were there any other series/issues of note in your bundles, @dragginmajik?
So I went to one of my local Walmarts and they had very little to choose from. Saw the I am Batman, WonderGirl and the Batman '89 but no Superman '78 so I need to check the other one.
Welcome back to the community @dragginmajik! Thank you for sharing - unfortunately, my Walmart seems to be quite scarce in its comic book offerings at this time. I might make a trip to the one slightly farther away to see what they have.
Please feel free to let the moderator team know if you need anything!

@chintzybeatnik Congrats, and thank you for the share. Iāll pass on that set, as Iāve already got the books in it (and Iām particularly set on duplicates of Dark Knights of Steel #2 as well ).
