Beginning in July of 2018, DC supplied Wal-Mart with exclusive 100-page giant comic books which combined reprints of top-tier DC series with some original stories in four anthology titles: SUPERMAN GIANT, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA GIANT, BATMAN GIANT and TEEN TITANS GIANT. Each anthology book combines approximately four comics' worth of material at a $4.99 cover price, with the reprint arcs being drawn from the New 52 era, the Rebirth era, and/or the New Age of Heroes imprint. Some of the original material was later published as mini-series through the regular comic book market channels. Capitalizing on the success of the exclusive Wal-Mart line, DC issued two holiday specials in 2018 and added additional anthology titles in 2019 before ending the Wal-Mart exclusive program in Jun 2019. (There is anecdotal evidence that some resourceful and/or embittered local comic shops may have bought up all the copies for resale.) The 100-page giant program was relaunched in 2019 with a new slate of titles, but also with direct market access and no exclusivity.
