It is possible it could have come from those too seeing how I did buy a few of them as well. I have 5 Venom purples..... Just not 100% sure where it came from at this point. Not sure if anyone else got one from one of these packs and I would highly doubt I am the only one if that was the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked the following packs: 2x Thor #1 1x Spider-Verse #1 1x Captain Marvel #1 2x Venom #25 1x Strange Academy #1 Not one had any indication or match to the Spider-Verse #6 book you showed. Note that I did just ship out a sealed Strange Academy #1 pack to one of my buyers, so I'll ask him to check when he gets the chance. Heard from my buyer... Nothing of note from the last Strange Academy #1 pack I sold either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 There is new DC 4 packs out, I caught the rep putting them out when I was in there right before close tonight. I saw a Flash, Wondergirl, Jurassic League, maybe 1 or 2 others. I didn't take pics of the ones I didn't grab. Will post what's in them after I open em. siro123, BuraddoRun, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crops068 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 And these packs were terrible. The Dark Crisis came with 2 copies of the same Batman #109. Way to go DC! At least I wanted the comics on the front otherwise it would have been a complete bust. siro123, ADAMANTIUM, PeterPark and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevhtx Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) Grabbed some today. Got the itch. 7 marvel and 1 DC. Nothing significant really. FYI - Last comic shown was first comic (other than Patch, not sure why I didnt order them right)...

mysterymachine Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I picked up the Fear State Omega two weeks ago at my Walmart. Interesting that you are just now getting them at your store. To avoid disappointment, I have not opened mine yet. Crops068 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djzombi Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Finally got around to opening the Marvel 3- and 7-packs I got a while ago, as well as some more recently. Here's round 1 of pics, more to come. Curious mix of Walmart exclusive covers, regular editions, 2nd prints, and incentive variant covers. The Hulk #1 pictured here seems to be a 1:10 ratio variant.

BuraddoRun Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I found 8 different DC 4-packs from the most recent round, and yeah, they're terrible. None of the cover books are exclusive variants, and all the other books aren't just overstock, they're overstock that was in previous packs! I mean, I've literally gotten most of the books I got this round in previous DC 4-packs, and not the good stuff like RWBY. DC seems so hit and miss. Marvel is consistent in that you at least get an exclusive cover. DC had some recent exclusives, those pulped books, and store-exclusive variants, but no consistency at all. Oh well, I guess that's the nature of these things. Oh, and regarding the McFarlane Target books mentioned a few posts back (with the link to a thread about them), there are some bigger figure packs that come with an exclusive comic coming out soon (and apparently out in some places). I haven't seen the comic in person yet but it's a Black Adam book that stars him and the 3 other figures in the line: Batman, Superman, and Constantine. MSRP is $24.99 but you get a full-size action figure and the exclusive book. I'm pretty sure each pack has the same book, so if you just want the comic, pick your favorite figure and don't worry about the other 3. However, Target is getting an exclusive Black and White Batman with a Line Art variant of the comic, so if you care, be on the lookout for that one. I've pre-ordered it from Target, but I picked up the Black Adam figure from Amazon that is due in tomorrow hopefully. I don't know what it is, but something about these variant comics that show up at retail as opposed to comic shops always gets me. When i was a kid I loved the pack-in comics with toys like He-Man and those comic packs they had at Toys R' Us. I guess it reignites that joy of comic discovery. djzombi, Jesse-Lee, ADAMANTIUM and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuraddoRun Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) Black Adam came in today from Amazon! I opened it and read the comic book, and now I'm here to share some pictures and thoughts. The figure is cool and it includes 2 lightning bolts as accessories, a base for the figure to stand on, a trading card, and of course the comic. I posted pics of everything in the Target Page Punchers topic (again, linked a few posts back by @ADAMANTIUM), but I'm just posting comic pictures here (with a bonus pic not posted in the other thread!). I have to say, it's THIS type of product that I think is really nice to find. The fact that the comic included is truly exclusive (correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's been printed elsewhere), has a story by established creators (Tyler Kirkham and Cavan Scott; admittedly, I wasn't familiar with Scott but Wikipedia says he's been working on SW: The High Republic), and is a high quality printing (nice and glossy book) just shows that care was put into the entire product overall. The story is a one-shot, which is nice, focuses on Black Adam obviously, but has a healthy roster of other characters including the 3 companion figures in the line and on the cover, some other Justice League members, another guest star I won't spoil who. has a decent fight against Adam, and a brand-new villain (again, I'm pretty sure anyway). The villain likely won't ever return in a mainstream book, and the story won't win any awards or become a classic in DC history or anything, but still, it's fun, has nice art, and just feels like what a comic book that comes with a toy and may attract new readers should be. It feels like a classic comic book story. Anyhow, the product gets an A+ from me. There are ads for various graphic novels inside which of course are aimed to new readers, which hopefully this type of product will attract. . *Edit: Wait, a Doug Mahnke variant cover...I wonder where we can find that one. The Line Art variant is the same cover in the Target pictures, but just black and white. Hmm...

Jesse-Lee Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) So this is a little outside the scope of this thread, but when I was looking at the Target exclusives and the Amazom listings for the Page Punchers, I found that the run of McFarlane Death Metal figures are on sale on Amazon. So you can get the 4 figures (Death Metal Batman, Death Metal Superman, Death Metal Robin King and Death Metal Wonder Woman) for about $50, and those 4 figs contain the BAF parts to build the Darkfather Batman: https://www.amazon.com/McFarlane-Toys-Build-Figures-WV4/dp/B08FP54Y2S/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EHKXR6RYA91Z&keywords=mcfarlane%2Brobin%2Bking&qid=1658692105&sprefix=mcfarlane%2Brobin%2Bking%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1&th=1 Edited July 24, 2022 by Jesse-Lee mysterymachine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
