In the biggest expansion of comics distribution in a generation, DC Entertainment will launch a massive comics program with the nation’s largest retailer this summer, offering four exclusive series at over 3,000 participating Walmart stores.  This is a majority of the company’s 5,295 retail units (of all types, including neighborhood markets and Sam’s Club) in the U.S.

All four titles will be 100-page giants with retro trade dress, retailing for $4.99.  Each issue will feature lead new stories along with reprints from recent eras including "New 52," "Rebirth," and the "New Age of DC Heroes."

The four first issues will arrive in stores by July 1.  Beginning in August, Superman Giant and Justice League of America Giant will arrive in the first week of each month, and Batman Giant and Teen Titans Giant will arrive in the third week.

DC Publisher Dan DiDio noted the connections between the program and characters visible in other media.  “These new monthly books combine new and accessible stories with reprints of classic comic series,” he said. “It’s a great way for new readers to get into comics and follow the characters they’ve grown to love in TV and film.”
