Re: Promotional Comics - cereal boxes, etc
So I lucked out this time, bought 5 packages and got all 4 comics! Anecdotal evidence only, but I only saw the promotion on the Frosted Cherry and Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon varieties, and in my limited sample size, the Gotham comics were in the cherry packages, and JLU issues were in other.

Those actually look like promotional comics worth owning and I loathe Pop-Tarts.
In Walmart-related news, they have three-packs for $5 featuring various DC Rebirth #1 issues. They are focused on one character like Batman or Wonder Woman.

So far, I've only found 2 boxes of Chocolate Pop-Tarts at my Wal-Mart. One had Justice League Part Two and the other had Batman Part Two. Now on the hunt for both Part One's.

Hmmm, somewhere in the last few days I saw a post about a new round of promo mini comics, exclusive to either WM or Target. But I guess it wasn't here......

I got Lucky Charms and Honey Nut Cheerios last night.
Haven't seen the other three yet. (Trix, Cocoa Puffs, Multi-Grain Cheerios)

It's a smart move by DC. Most kids eat cereal and you basically have to trick kids into picking up comic books these days. For many kids it will be the first comic book they ever physically handle.

I've only found them in family size Cocoa Puffs so far, have only bought two and opened one so far. Given that I still have ~10 boxes on possibly expired cereal in my pantry, I should probably give up this quest.

I believe this si the first time the the comic book artist have been credited for their work on the boxes.

I recently learned that younger comic fans mockingly call Geoff Johns the Cereal King. Apparently he's a big fan of breakfast cereals and a few years ago was asked to leave a grocery store after taking pics of them.
