Breakfast is nothing short of Super!

Hey there kids, I just wanted you all to know that I just recently acquired the fourth copy (issue #1, actually) of the General Mills, Justice League of America mini-comic. After purchasing a bunch of boxes of specially-marked cereal (including Breakfast, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, CoCo Puffs, General Mills, Golden Grahams, and Honey Nut Cheerios).

I was able to acquire the elusive comic on ebay for a reasonable amount., now I have the whole set. An in-depth review of the series itself can be found on Examiner.com.

We stumbled across this series completely by accident, which makes us fortunate, but you would think that either General Mills or DC would have done a better job of promoting the series.

Ah well, what are you going to do? This is why we must remain ever vigilant.

Enjoy kids!

There's a Superhero in my Cereal

That's right kids, Superheroes in my breakfast cereal. A short while ago I brought to you collective attentions that General Mills (in the form of several of their cereals) were producing — in conjunction with DC Comics — a series of four Justice League mini-comics that were getting packed in the cereals.

Well, I’ve already acquired three of them, the third of which was just today:



So now I have issues 2-4, hopefully I’ll acquire issue #1 soon, then I can read them in order.

This particular comic came in a box of Coco Puffs. Other GM cereals in the promotion include Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Golden Grahams, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Trix.


Personally, I love these types of comicbook giveaways, and have an extensive collection of them (to be sure, most of them are Marvel comicbook, and most of those comics star Spidey s still I’m an equal-opportunity comicbook collector, and try to acquire as many of these as possible.


Well, That’s where I am right now, and perhaps either later today or sometime tomorrow I’ll get the chance to look for the missing comic. In the meantime — Breakfast!

Super heroes for Breakfast

General Mills is currently offering custom edition DC comicbooks in specially-marked boxes of several of their cereals; including Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Golden Grahams, Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, and Trix. The DC comics all star the company’s mainstay, the Justice League. The comicbooks are packed inside the cereal boxes. There are four comics in the series, and each comic is a 24-page mini comic.

Currently we have two of the four, and will be searching for the others throughout the rest of the promotion.





Online versions of the comics can be seen here.

Not all comicbooks are about superheroes:
