If you think about what Walmart is doing it's actually fantastic for the hobby. These books could introduce new fans to comics or get previously interested collectors back in. Which is good for all of us. The other thing it does is start to break up the monopoly held by Diamond. If Walmart continues to get books outside of Diamond then others might follow. Who knows?

I believe you are right on both suggestions. When I was shopping for the DC's Giant #6 of Superman, Justice League, Batman, and Teen Titans, which I purchased, there were a few kids looking at the previous issues. One of the them asked me questions about the DC comics because they said it was thicker than a regular comic book that they are used to seeing. They also liked the idea of getting 3 marvel comics wrapped in one purchase. They were excited to get them. They brought back memories of when I was around their age sifting through comics at a flea market, book stores, convenient stores, and grocery stores. Yes, Diamond needs competition ... it is economically healthy for the comic book industry in the long run. My two cents ...
