Go put your pajamas, socks, and sandals on folks...because we are going to Wal-Mart for this one!!! That’s right guys! No need to venture down to your local comic shop to search for these gems, instead we head to the White Trash capital of the USA. I only wish it were on Black Friday so we could see people fighting for a $3 dollar toaster...alas, that time will come though.

Anyhoo, it seems Walmart has some tasty new comic 3 packs in which as a comic shop owner makes me cringe..but that’s a whole other article. Either way, I’m here to tell ya to check your store ASAP as these are drying up quickly and they just hit within the past few days.

Most likely where you’ll want to look is where they keep the trading cards and all that nonsense. It’s usually right up by the front registers so that’s where I’d look. Marvel has teamed up with AJ Holdings & Anderson Merch. to provide a handful of comic book 3 packs. I believe they are selling them for $5 bucks bus it might be a couple of bucks more. I haven’t found any or even searched yet but I’m going to check my local one today.

They will come in a little cardboard holder display and there is one specific one to keep your eye open for. It has The Life of Captain Marvel #1 by the always amazing Artgerm on the cover. Now this book along with the rest of the books in these packs released several months back through comic shops across the land, but some of these are just a tad different of course.

The Captain Marvel one for example...notice anything different regarding the art?!? The top one was the regular release that was a commonplace book on store shelves. The bottom one is the Walmart version.

Artgerm has a huge fan base as well so I can see these being gobbled up and kept in PC’s over time. You won’t retire off these but they should be solid $20 dollar books for some time to come. Currently people are flipping em on the ol’ bay for around $25 beans which isn’t too shabby a return.

As always, I recommend that if you find any of these that ya flip em, but some Steem with the profits, and Power Up your account with it. Think of it as getting a $20 dollar upvote from a whale. That’s nice right?!?

There are a few other packs as well featuring Venom, Avengers, Wolverine & the Infinity Watch. Those are fetching around $20 bucks as their title trade dress coloring is different than the initial releases. Crazy collectors. 😂

So lmk if you end up finding any! As always, if you are successful in your quest of finding the Captain Marvel, snap a pic of you holding it and come t below and I’ll purchase a share of @steembasicincome for ya! Show proof of you powering up with those profits and I’ll purchase another!!!

Good luck on your quest and be sure to snap pics of any barefoot shoppers you may see along your journey.

It always makes me feel awful for us on a human level when I see the madness that ensues from Black Friday each year. People trampled. Fights. Just ridiculous.

But fuck yeah!!! $3 dollar toasters!! Holla!
