<\/del>DC announced today that it is bolstering its successful relationship with Walmart by introducing new titles, increasing the publisher\u2019s slate of 100-Page Giant comics from four to six. In addition, two titles from the original lineup will be re-titled and renumbered as #1 issues. All titles, including the SUPERMAN 100-Page Giant featuring Tom King with Andy Kubert and the BATMAN 100-Page Giant featuring Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington, will arrive in participating U.S. Walmart retail stores by Sunday, February 17.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additions to the lineup include the SWAMP THING 100-Page Giant #1 and THE FLASH 100-Page Giant #1. As with the other Walmart titles, each book will retail at $4.99 and combine new original stories with \u201cflashback\u201d content from popular DC story eras such as DC Rebirth, the New Age of Heroes and the New 52.\u00a0<\/a>\u201cDC has been incredibly successful in attracting new readers through its relationship with Walmart,\u201d said Nancy Spears, VP, Mass Book, Digital Sales and Trade Marketing. \u201cThese two titles are the perfect extensions to the Walmart line, given the successful\u00a0Flash<\/i>\u00a0tv show and the popularity of last October\u2019s SWAMP THING HALLOWEEN HORROR Special.\u201d<\/p>\n

The debut issue of the SWAMP THING 100-Page Giant includes an original story, \u201cDesert of Ash,\u201d written by Tim Seeley (NIGHTWING, GREEN LANTERNS), with art by Mike Perkins (GREEN LANTERNS, THE CURSE OF BRIMSTONE ANNUAL). This 12-page tale features Swamp Thing and his witch companion Briar as they face the pyromaniac Char Man, who possesses the ability to control flames, a power granted by the elemental spirits of fire itself. Issues #2 and #3 feature \u201cBog of Blood,\u201d a two-parter by Seeley with art by Jo\u00eblle Jones (CATWOMAN), which introduces a terrifying and potentially supernatural slasher stalking the swamps of Louisiana.<\/u><\/u><\/p>\n
