General Mills’ action packed cereals on shelves now!

While browsing the cereal aisle, looking for my daily dose of fiber, I couldn’t help but notice this DC Comics promotion on several of the General Mills’ boxes. A free comic book is inside! I love free stuff, and I was going to buy Honey Nut Cheerios anyway, so it was a win-win proposition.

Not only is there a free comic book inside, but there’s also a Batman mask on the back that kids can cut out and wear!

The comic is not a full size comic, measuring in at around seven inches tall.

I was happy to see that the comic was actually a “real” comic with a storyline that wasn’t a clever disguise to sell more cereal.dc comics general mills cereal - Free Comic Book Inside!

Kudos to General Mills and DC comics for making breakfast a little more action packed!

    Interesting that, since these are new, they aren’t using the new “official” look of the DCU. Superman is still in his old costume.

      Not sure, but I would think this promotion would be around for a at least another month or two. It just started not too long ago. Good luck with the hunt!
