[This article was UPDATED on 8/10/2021 – Including NEW Black Cat Annual #1 & Star Wars: High Republic #6!]

I LOVE Walmart Comic 3-Packs! They are the best way to find random second and third printing variants that most LCS’s don’t carry. You can also find some valuable modern key first appearances in these packs!

I’ve opened over 50 Walmart Comic 3-Packs! Here’s what’s inside…

Each pack is listed alphabetically by the comic on the front. There are eBay links in case you like what you see and want to pick one up for yourself. There are also Amazon banners so you can hunt for these packs on Amazon too. I get a percentage of purchases you make after clicking on these links which really help to subsidize opening all these packs – Thank you!

    1. That’s a great pick up! I bought a few of them, just haven’t had time yet to update. The 7 for $10 packs are great though – I was really excited to see they were released again. I hope you find some keys or cool variants!
