DC Expands to 6 Walmart Exclusive Comics Including Wonder Woman and Swamp Thing

When DC Comics launched their exclusive 100 Page Giant-Sized Walmart titles, it was noted that despite the recent film, there was no Wonder Woman title. That has now changed, as the titles jump from four a month, plus specials, to six a month.

Teen Titans and Justice League Of America will be canceled, replaced by a new Titans #1 and Wonder Woman #1. Superman and Batman will continue. And there will be new titles, The Flash and Swamp Thing. Surprisingly this time, no Aquaman to accompany his billion dollar movie.

The first Swamp Thing 100-Page Giant includes an original story, Desert of Ash by Tim Seeley and Mike Perkins with 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 Bog of Blood, a two-parter by Seeley and Joëlle Jones, which introduces a terrifying and potentially supernatural slasher stalking the swamps of Louisiana.

The comic will also include Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman and Dan Green's The Hunt, from Animal Man, and Raise Dem Bones from Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette Swamp Thing, plus Death in a Small Town, with Detective Chimp and Shadowpact.
