Stating in July you will be able to go to a WallMart and pick up DC’s 100-pages Giant comics, anthologies featuring both new and old stories.
Superman 100 Page Giant #1 will feature reprints of Superman/Batman #1 (2003, by Loeb & McGuinness), Green Lantern #1 (2005, Johns and Van Sciver) and the Terrifics (2018, Lemire and Reis) as well as original stories. First two issues will have a two-parter by Jimmy Palmiotti and Tom Derenick and then a 12-part story by Tom King and Andy Kubert.
Teen Titans 100-Page Giant will launch with a six-part story by Dan Jurgens and Scott Eaton and feature reprints of Teen Titans (2003, Johns and McKeone), Super Sons (2017, Thomasi, Gleason and Jimenez) and Sideways (2017, Didio and Rocaforth).
Batman 100-Page Giant #1 will have a new story by Jimmy Palmiotti and Patrick Zicher and reprints of Batman #608 (2002, Loeb and Lee), Nightwing #1 (2011, Higgins and Barrows) and Harley Quinn #1 (2011, Palmiotti and Conner). With issue #3 it will launch all-new Batman story by Brian Bendis and Nick Derington.
Justice League 100-page giant will bring new Wonder Woman stories, first two written by Tim Seeley and illustrated by various artists and then a twelve-parter by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. The first issue will have reprints of 2011 series Justice League #1 (Johns & Lee), Aquaman #1 (Johns & Reis) and Flash #1 (Buccelatto and Manapul).
Personally, I find this idea to be a stroke of genius. Not only will they introduce new fans and more importantly kids to the comics and there is some nice selection of new and modern classic (and some…odd choices like 2011 Nightwing) titles alike. I’m especially happy to see Super Sons, Sideways and Terrifics make the cut in the first issue. I suspect the content of the reprints will be changing each month, giving a spotlight to more obscure and critically acclaimed titles alike. I hope this not only succeeds but gets popular enough we get more titles. I’d especially suggest a 100-Page giant with heroes of the Arroverse, say 2016 Green Arrow #1, Supergirl #1 and Flash #1 and maybe for a new story a new Black Lighting by Tony Isabella?
