Thanks to our sponsor Big G Cereal Heroes for coming to our rescue and inspiring fun with breakfast.
My family is absolutely loving the latest campaign by Big G Cereal! We are total geeks when it comes to things like comic books and super hero movies. The Big G Cereal Heroes is all about finding the confidence of a Super Hero. Strike a #SuperHeroing pose and feel like a Super Hero – ready to conquer anything! In many of our favorite breakfast cereals, Big G has included a FREE comic book, and on the back of the box you will find costume pieces for your favorite JUSTICE LEAGUE super heroes.
I am a fan of anything that encourages my grandchildren to read, so comic books get a big thumbs up from me. Pair that with our favorite cereals and BAM – POW!
In specially marked boxes of Big G cereals from now through April (while supplies last), you’ll find 4 exclusive issues of DC comic books featuring your favorite JUSTICE LEAGUE characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Cyborg. Participating Big G cereals include Cinnamon Toast Crunch™, Lucky Charms™, Honey Nut Cheerios™ , Trix™, Cookie Crisp™, and Reese’s® Puffs®. A bonus 5th issue is available in Cheerios only at Target.
One of the great things about super heroes and comic books is that they bring out the kid in all of us. It’s one of those things you never grow out of. Super heroes inspire us to be brave and fierce, and to help others. My granddaughters and I had a little chat about the qualities of a Superhero and came up with the following attributes: brave, strong, intelligent, helps others, role model, earns respect, likes gadgets, hard working, and have special powers. These are all fine qualities we should aspire to.
The special comic books have an activity for kids to do in the back of the comic. Kids can be part of the JUSTICE LEAGUE by helping the Super Heroes solve a word search, maze, connect the dots, or other activity. Then, they can head to the Big G Cereal Heroes website to read part 2 of the story. How fun is that?

My son love batman and the green lantern, he would be thrilled to get this with his cereal.
It’s been way too long since I had this cereal. It sure reminds me of a time when my kids would “beg” me for it. This phone looks just like what I need. I’ve been wanting to get one so when I win it it will be a blessing.
This will be lots of fun for kids (both young and old) who will be on the look-out for these super hero prizes!
I’m not a kid anymore(at least by age) but I love cereal boxes that give you something to do while you eat. Let your imagination soar. Keep it up Big G!

My son is starting to like superheroes. I think he would love to own these comic books.
My toddler loves superheroes and always wants to see what’s on his cereal boxes, lol. He’d totally love this.
I remember when I was a kid getting all sorts of cool stuff in a cereal box. Back then, there was good stuff (at least to me as a kid) like toys and superhero stuff. Now, most cereals have nothing at all or at the most, something like a little paper cutout. I’m glad to see a DC comic in the cereal box, although I have to confess that I like the Marvel Universe much better.
The cereal box seems to be entertaining for kids.
love the fact that they are promoting super heroes and have comics in the cereal. the kids would love this.
This is so awesome! I loved the Justice League as a kid and my little ones love it too! I’ll be sure and look for these specially marked boxes of cereal! Thank you for the information! 🙂

These remind me of when I was young and the Saturday morning cartoon about the Justice League. Also back in the day they had good prizes in the cereal boxes.
How fun! We bought Reese’s Puffs cereal and got our fun comic book and cut outs. I love the Batman mask.

This is a great! A surprise that actually encourages reading!
I like Comics and need to get these cereals and have them when I babysit my niece and nephew over Spring Break. They would love to have these for breakfast!
As a former kid I would consider this a hit. Anything with cartoons captured my interest.
What a great combination. My grandchildren favorite cereal, Trix and Lucky Charms, and comics. You can’t go wrong with that. Not only can they read the cereal box but comics too! They are going to love it.
What kid doesn’t love getting a prize in the cereal box? I always loved it and I know my nephew and kids loved it, too. Actually they still do!
Great promotion and my kid loves comic books along with the cereal. I’m sure we will end up buying some boxes.
this is neat and help the kids motivated two ways eating breakfast and reading!
Comics are fun an any age. I will still stop and read one anytime I come across a comic book.
They certainly bring out the kid in me. My kids loved the comics as well
I always like a prize in the cereal box, even as an adult. Even a puzzle on the box is fun.
It’s always fun to find a prize in your cereal box I know both my kids are always trying to see which one will get the prize. lol
This is so cool! I love anything that get’s the kids reading. My kids are huge comic book fans. Plus they love these cereals. So it’s a great deal for me.
My boys would love this I did not know it was on cereal boxes
This sounds like a fun idea for cereal boxes!
I’m a fan of super hero comic what I was young. My kids are still too young to appreciate them. But I think they definitely will pretty soon. 🙂
I agree that its good to get the kids reading while eating the cereal and a great way other than just reading the boxes.
I really do like that they are encouraging kids to read in ANY form. Kudos!!!
this looks like so much fun , love how you can interact and eat healthy to 🙂 go breakfast
I am ALL FOR anything that encourages kids to READ!! As soon as either of my own kids expressed an interest in something growing up, I would get them an “age appropriate” book about it. Not only did it encourage them to read, but it educated them about so many varied subjects, from Dinosaurs and Sharks to Aquariums and Parakeets…and so much more!! I also made sure, at an early age, to tell my kids about faraway places, and read to them, shared with them, and I was so extremely proud when they were in their later years in school, to find out that my 2 kids were among the very few that knew all 50 States & their Capitals, along with a lot of World Geography.
I have to get these cereals and collect this stuff for my nephew

My son loves comic books and superheroes and cereal.Perfect combo
Great for entertaining kids.
The Justice League, plus comics, plus cereal!? This is a total win for kiddos!
It would be a nice thing to encourage children to read.
My daughter is into superhero’s! It’s great that cereals are becoming involved again!
My granddaughter loves superheroes, I think it is cool to get a comic book in their cereal box.

We love comics and superheroes in my house. My kids would love to have these comic books. They love any books.
im excited to enter the contest and hope I win the keurig.
What a great promotion ! superheroes and cereal are always welcome in our home 🙂
I remember reading comic books as a kids constantly, primarily Archie. I haven’t seen too many comic books around anymore so glad to see that they are in the cereal boxes. I will have to look for them for my grandkids. Thank you for the article.
I remember growing up and us kids fighting over the surprise toy in cereal. This is so awesome that they are doing this and a book to boot! Great way to get kids to reading.
Not very many put prizes in there cereal boxes any more. I remember when I was a kid we couldnt wait to open the boxes
When we went to the store a few weeks back, we seen the comics in the cereal, my daughter had me buy several boxes, sad thing she got the same comic in each box. But she still loves the comnic book she got.
Prizes in boxes make happy memories!
I think kids would love the idea of getting a comic book in their cereal. Hopefully, it would encourage kids to read more, rather than play video games.
It is really cool of Big G to put in comic books. It’s far and few between these days that you get anything in a box of cereal anymore. I do think it’s even better to give a comic book. It encourages reading by making it fun and exciting. My Son loves the superheros. I agree that the superheros are something that kids can aspire to be.
What a great promotion! This is a super-generous “prize” for a cereal. We love these cereals in our home anyway!
You gotta love superheros and comics! Think of all of the movies that have come out in the last several years. I particularly enjoyed Captain America. 🙂
These are too cool! I’m always a nerd at heart 🙂
I haven’t seen the cereal with the comic books yet. My husband will live this, he lives super heroes and cereal.
I need to get this cereal for my son!
My sons all read comic books and now…as is the family tradition, my grandsons have started reading and they love the comic books. Will be sure to get over to Target to purchase the General Mills Cereal for this opportunity. FUN!
My grandson always picked his cereal out by what was in or on the box. Guess I did the same as a child, it was fun and the kids would love a comic book
My son would love this, we’re going to have to get some soon before the promotion is over.
I love that they’re doing this! It gets the kids reading and my boys are big dc fans so its a win win!
As a teacher and a mom I love the idea of comic books instead of toys. I think it is a great way to encourage reading. Also, I believe books will be kept longer than a small toy that tend to get lost or my kids lose interest in playing with.
I think this is a super cute way to get kids interacting more in the morning.
I looked for this at our Target and couldn’t find them, I’ll have to check the other nearby Target.
My oldest son would FLIP over this cereal! How cute!
I think the kids would really enjoy this cereal. I know they would get so excited about the prize in the box!
This should be a hit with the kids. I think comics is a great way to get kids to read.
My girls love comic books and they love little things like this with cereal. This is a great idea.
My husband is a nerd…oh sorry GEEK! Since there is a difference according to him lol He loves comics and Im sure he hopes that when our son gets old enough that he is going to love them also. I tried to read the walking dead comics and I just couldnt get into them like a regular book. Guess Im not geeky enough or something lol
We have a lot of comics at home…My dad has kept in them in pristine condition. If my mom had anything to do with it she would sell them.
How cool! I loved reading the back of cereal boxes growing up, very cool idea to get a comic book to read while enjoying breakfast 🙂
My family is absolutely loving the latest campaign by Big G Cereal!
my son loves General Mills cereal, and i love if they have books inside the box
Our grandson’s love their General Mills cereal especially if they have super hero’s on the box.
Thank you, I wasn’t aware of this promotion.
Everyone love and collects comics how fun!
