National retailers including WalMart, Target, Kmart, Payless, Party City, Amazon, and the Disney Store are teaming up with Marvel for the campaign. The stores are featuring ‘Marvel Super Hero September’ promotions, special offers, and in-store events.

Disney Stores around the country are hosting Marvel Super Hero events each week in September. Guests can find more information on the Disney Store offerings at Disneystore.com.
