Swamp Thing is obviously a seasonal choice but he's an indication this is actually a quite successful venture instead of just mildly so. The safe option would be to find some scary Batman stories that aren't gorefests (not too hard to find), but DC went to including a character most haven't heard of.

Swamp Thing is not that unknown. 80s horror with him was fairly popular and are considered cult classics. Warner Bros is also making a Swamp Thing TV series, so that probably influenced their decision as well.

Comics used to be sold in corner stores. Then in a forgotten time, comics became collectables, and spawned dedicated comic stores. Go into your local comic store, see if they have branched out into board games, card games, video games, table top miniatures/rpgs, or straight up clothing, or food.
Dedicated stores for print media is a money sink. Even stores like Barns and Noble have been facing tough times, when Amazon has been able to effectively piggy back on subsidized national mail services.
Plus, there is at least one new story in each of these collections. Coupled with the streaming service, for digital comics, movies, shows, and the shakeup at DC Entertainment as a whole, this is one experiment that overall has been doing well (or at least, that's what the spin is). Still love that months ago when I argued that comics needed to be in grocery stores so that parents, and grandparents would grab them for kids, I was told explicitly I didn't know what I was talking about.

2000AD is actually pretty much only in WH Smith (admittedly there's at least one in every town, and major cities have several) and comic shops. Back in the 90's, though, it was absolutely everywhere. We used to get it from Tesco (I even imagined they would have a special banner up, celebrating the release of prog 1000, more fool me).
Also didn't American comics USED to do this? You could get Spider-Man in 7-11 with your loaf of bread?

It was the norm in America and still is in the rest of the world. You could buy comics everywhere where magazines and newspapers were sold. But then one of the biggest American comic publisher bought one of the biggest American comics distributors, and they decided to kill the whole American comics marked in exchange for the promise of a few weeks of increased profits. (Which never materialized in any real way, btw.)

Sam Young, nee Max Autohead, the guy behind Issue One Comics, actually managed to swing a deal back in the 90's where every Video Ezy in Australia would have had a rack of Issue One comics (back when they had a bunch of titles, and back when video stores were a thing). This was an unprecedented exposure for a publisher, but Sam is a compulsive liar, and pathologically incapable of holding his end of a deal up, even if it costs him a fortune. It's a pity, he really was our very best in terms of wheeling and dealing and hype and the art of the deal, but he just had to fuck everyone, even if it only hurt him and him alone. I think eventually his entire staff walked out on him because he had never actually paid them, like, ever, and the one brilliant Japanese artist he had, the one who was his dancing monkey at conventions with people just clustering around his artwork going OOH and AHH, he finally snapped and burned the place down to the ground.

SWAMP THING HALLOWEEN SPECIAL — OUT NOW!
Includes an original story written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Greg Capullo
>This 100-Page Giant sells for $4.99 and includes several classic fright-filled stories from DC’s history, led by the iconic HOUSE OF SECRETS #92 from 1971, which features Swamp Thing’s very first appearance, written and drawn by co-creators Len Wein (writer) and Bernie Wrightson (artist). 1971’s “Night of the Reaper,” from BATMAN #237, features two more giants of superhero storytelling, writer Denny O’Neil and artist Neal Adams, telling a Halloween tale of revenge and the search for a National Socialist war criminal.
>2007’s DC INFINITE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL also contributes to this issue, with stories featuring DC heroes Superman (“Strange Cargo”), Blue Devil and Enchantress (“The Pumpkin Sinister”) and Zatanna (“Kcirt ro Taert”). The book also reprints a Batman tale from the 2008 DC INFINITE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL, “The Ballad of Jonathan Crane,” as well as “Night Gods” from 2010’s THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, starring Aquaman and the Demon.

The World’s Greatest Super-Heroes! Holiday Special, a Walmart exclusive, OUT THIS WEEKEND!
>With the holidays rapidly approaching, DC and Walmart are adding to their lineup of 100-page “Giant” comics with a new one-shot to ring in the holiday season! Following the success of their horror-themed SWAMP THING HALLOWEEN HORROR SPECIAL, DC’s WORLD’S GREATEST SUPER-HEROES! HOLIDAY SPECIAL is headed to participating Walmart stores in the U.S. today and should reach stores by Sunday.
>The fan-favorite creative trio of THE FLASH—Scott Lobdell (writer), Brett Booth (artist) and Norm Rapmund (inker) [with Hi-Fi Color instead of that nigger eyesore color artist as the colorist]—have reunited for an original tale featuring the Scarlet Speedster, “Twas the Riot Before Christmas.” Barry Allen’s holiday tradition of giving gifts to the kids at the Central City Home for Wayward Children gets interrupted by a riot at Iron Heights penitentiary featuring some of the Flash’s deadliest foes. In restoring order, he receives help from an unexpected source, but will it be in time to spend Christmas with the kids at the home?
>This Walmart exclusive also reprints a host of holiday-themed stories from throughout DC’s history: Tom King and David Finch’s “Good Boy,” from the 2016 BATMAN ANNUAL tells the painful (certainly for the Dark Knight) story of how Batman and Alfred brought Ace the Bat-Hound into the family.
>Originally featured in the 2014 HARLEY QUINN HOLIDAY SPECIAL #1, “K!llin’ Time,” written by Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Darwyn Cooke, shows how Harley Quinn decides to deal with aging and finding her first gray hair—by killing Father Time!
>Written by Joe Kelly with art by Ale Garza, “All I Want for Christmas” from the 2006 DC INFINITE HOLIDAY SPECIAL spotlights Supergirl in a tale of making a little girl’s Christmas wish come true by reuniting her with her father after the Maid of Might shows him the importance of not being an absentee parent and gives him a second chance to be a father to his child.
>The anthology also features two stories from the 2016 DC REBIRTH HOLIDAY SPECIAL. In “A Light in the Dark,” Kate Perkins (writer) and Paolo Pantalena (artist) featured Batwoman in a holiday rescue story involving pie and the story of Hanukkah, while Green Lanterns Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are subjected to a series of trials by a mysterious alien race where the prize is not just the fate of the world, but something that Earth will always need: Hope. “The Epiphany” was co-written by Steve Orlando and Vita Ayala, with art by V. Ken Marion.
>1992’s SUPERMAN #22 rounds out the lineup with the story “Metropolis Mailbag,” written by Dan Jurgens with art by Jackson “Butch” Guice. As the holidays approach, the Man of Steel finds out that even he has limits when he reads some letters that are addressed to him in the Daily Planet’s “Superman room.”
>The WORLD’S GREATEST SUPER-HEROES! HOLIDAY SPECIAL sells for $4.99 and arrives in participating Walmart stores throughout North America by Sunday, November 11. To find your nearest Walmart location, check out the store finder page at www.walmart.com.

Line Expands to Six Titles with SWAMP THING, THE FLASH
TEEN TITANS and JUSTICE LEAGUE of AMERICA Continue as TITANS #1 and WONDER WOMAN #1
All Titles in Participating U.S. Walmart Retailers by February 17, 2019
>BURBANK, CA and BENTONVILLE, AR – (January 17, 2019) – DC announced today that it is bolstering its successful relationship with Walmart by introducing new titles, increasing the publisher’s slate of 100-Page Giant comics from four to six. In addition, two titles from the original lineup will be re-titled and renumbered as #1 issues. All titles, including the SUPERMAN 100-Page Giant featuring Tom King with Andy Kubert and the BATMAN 100-Page Giant featuring Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington, will arrive in participating U.S. Walmart retail stores by Sunday, February 17.
>Additions to the lineup include the SWAMP THING 100-Page Giant #1 and THE FLASH 100-Page Giant #1. As with the other Walmart titles, each book will retail at $4.99 and combine new original stories with “flashback” content from popular DC story eras such as DC Rebirth, the New Age of Heroes and the New 52. “DC has been incredibly successful in attracting new readers through its relationship with Walmart,” said Nancy Spears, VP, Mass Book, Digital Sales and Trade Marketing. “These two titles are the perfect extensions to the Walmart line, given the successful Flash TV show and the popularity of last October’s SWAMP THING HALLOWEEN HORROR Special.”
>The debut issue of the SWAMP THING 100-Page Giant includes an original story, “Desert of Ash,” written by Tim Seeley (NIGHTWING, GREEN LANTERNS), with art by Mike Perkins (GREEN LANTERNS, THE CURSE OF BRIMSTONE ANNUAL). This 12-page tale features Swamp Thing and his witch companion Briar as they face the pyromaniac Char Man, who possesses the ability to control flames, a power granted by the elemental spirits of fire itself. Issues #2 and #3 feature “Bog of Blood,” a two-parter by Seeley with art by Joëlle Jones (CATWOMAN), which introduces a terrifying and potentially supernatural slasher stalking the swamps of Louisiana.
>This 100-page spectacular also includes fan-favorite stories from DC’s New 52 period, including Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman and Dan Green’s “The Hunt,” from ANIMAL MAN, in addition to “Raise Dem Bones,” from the New 52 SWAMP THING by JUSTICE LEAGUE writer Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette, plus “Death in a Small Town,” featuring Detective Chimp and Shadowpact.
>THE FLASH 100-Page Giant #1 features an all-new tale of the Scarlet Speedster, written by Gail Simone (BIRDS OF PREY, SECRET SIX, PLASTIC MAN) with art by Clayton Henry (BLACK LIGHTNING: COLD DEAD HANDS). In the 12-part arc “Glass Houses,” Barry Allen is dedicated to keeping the streets of Central City safe as the Fastest Man Alive. But when his old foe Mirror Master shows up looking to cause trouble, it’s up to the Flash to stop him. This book also debuts classic tales of the New 52 version of the Flash by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, in addition to the spacefaring adventures of Adam Strange from 2004 by Andy Diggle and Pasqual Ferry, plus the classic New 52 “rebirth” of the World’s Mightiest Mortal, Shazam, from Geoff Johns and Gary Frank.
>Both the JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA and TEEN TITANS Giants will retain their same contents but continue with new cover titles and will be renumbered with #1 issues. The JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA 100-Page Giant becomes WONDER WOMAN 100-Page Giant #1, continuing the original Wonder Woman story by Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, Tom Derenick and Chad Hardin, with “flashback” stories from Geoff Johns’ New 52 JUSTICE LEAGUE and AQUAMAN, plus 2006’s “Who Is Wonder Woman?” by Allan Heinberg, Rachel Dodson and Terry Dodson.
>The TEEN TITANS 100-Page Giant continues as TITANS 100-Page Giant #1, with BATMAN BEYOND writer Dan Jurgens continuing his original story with art by Scot Eaton and Wayne Faucher. In addition, the book will continue the ongoing reprint stories from Geoff Johns and Tom Grummett’s TEEN TITANS from 2004, Peter Tomasi’s SUPER SONS from 2017’s DC Rebirth and Kenneth Rocafort, Dan DiDio’ and Max Raynor’s SIDEWAYS from the New Age of Heroes.

SUPERMAN GIANT #7 HAS LOIS LANE BEING TORTURED AND MURDERED REPEATEDLY FOR 12 PAGES
http://archive.is/8Zs4y
>The latest Walmart exclusive 100-page giant comic book, Superman Giant #7, is stirring quite a bit of buzz on the internet, but not with excitement for the Tom King-penned story. Instead, it's the repeated torture and murder of Lois Lane across the issue's pages that have fans in an uproar.
>The issue, which officially went on sale in select Walmart stores today, sees King paired up with artist Andy Kubert on a Superman story that sees the Man of Steel languishing in an intergalactic waiting room.
>While there, his mind begins to wander to some dark places – presumably out of anxiety. How dark are those places? It seems that the issue contains 12 pages of Lois Lane's brutal and graphic murder over and over again, including an opening splash page that sees Lois gruesomely shot in the head by Lex Luthor.
>As many online have noted, the Walmart exclusive books are intended as entry-level books for readers many of which are children. The books are merchandised in most of the store that carry them alongside child-friendly games, such as Pokémon cards and many of the reactions on Twitter are coming from parents who don't feel they can share the issue with their kids.
Looks like King went overboard with his PTSD and anxiety shtick. It's interesting how DC will react this time. They went all into panic mode after the batdick incident.

He worked for CIA and was in Iraq, although some people question that. King is also obsessed with PTSD and to a lesser degree with nihilism. Sooner or later it usually becomes a major part of his books.
He is also likes to shoehorn nine panel grid, regardless of whether it works for the story or artists' style. So King is either dumb enough to think that nine panel grid will make his book more like Watchmen and thus automatically better, he is autistically obsessed with nine panels and can't help himself, does not quite understand the medium of comics, or any combination of the above.

Oh shit, just realized this is a problem that's both big enough and understandable enough to bring WB execs (maybe even Walmart's) down on DC's head.

At the very least King and whatever passed for an "editor" on this will never work for DC again if higher ups get wind of this…

>Press Release
>Fans who haven’t been able to find 100-Page Giant comics at their local Walmart retailer can breathe a sigh of relief, as DC confirmed its plans today to make available in comic book shops for the first time the original stories that formed the basis for their line of Walmart “Giant” anthology comics. Each story arc comes in the form of a six-issue monthly miniseries featuring two chapters per issue.
>The fireworks start early on July 3, with SUPERMAN: UP IN THE SKY #1, written by Tom King (BATMAN) with art by Andy Kubert and Sandra Hope. Following a home invasion that ends in murder, Superman is put on the trail of a Metropolis mystery by Batman—but can even the Man of Steel discover the truth behind these tragic deaths, or their ties to the far-off world of Rann?
>The action continues July 10 with Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington teaming up for BATMAN UNIVERSE #1. Following the theft of a priceless Fabergé egg, the Riddler leads The Dark Knight on a wild hunt after its true owner: Jinny Hex, a descendant of the haunted Western hero Jonah Hex. Deathstroke, Green Arrow and some of the brightest stars in the DC Universe will join The Dark Knight on the chase to find this treasure!
