Complete FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2016 Line-Up of Titles Announced

We may be smack dab in the middle of December, but it’ll be spring before you know it. And if you’re a comic book fan, you know that early spring always means Free Comic Book Day at local comic shops around the country. Almost always in the first week of May, Free Comic Book Day is the biggest day of the year for local comics retailers. It’s an important way to get new fans into their shops, as well as lapsed comics fans that need to get back in the saddle again.

Celebrating its 15th Anniversary this year, Free Comic Book Day will be held on Saturday, May 7, 2016. Aside from all the cool free comics, FCBD has also been a way for the major publishers to hype their big comics events for the coming year. And from the look of things, 2016 is going to be no different, with Marvel releasing a new Captain America #1, and DC’s offering, labeled “Top Secret.”

This year, Free Comic Book Day features a whole new selection of thirty-eight Silver Sponsors books, as well as twelve Gold Sponsor Comics.  Retailers on the FCBD Selection Committee chose fifty titles overall. You can check out the full list of “Silver” and “Gold” FCBD offerings from the premiere publishers below, and for all the details on the FCBD line-up of fifty titles, head on over to the Free Comic Book Day official website.
