Richard Willis replied to Captain Comics's discussion DC announces 100-Page Giant comics exclusive to Walmart"My initial reaction is that presenting Nu52 and other versions in the same book will be confusing to new readers. Am I misunderstanding?"

Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) replied to Captain Comics's discussion DC announces 100-Page Giant comics exclusive to Walmart"A lot of ads?Or maybe there's another reprint from the vault that they'll use as filler and don't feel the need to announce.

Captain Comics replied to Wandering Sensei: Moderator Man's discussion What Comic Books Have You Read Today?"I noticed the continuity snafus in MOS too, Jeff.
