Free Comic Book Day is set for May 1, 2010 and they have just announced the “Gold” Level titles that should be available at every retailer participating.
Freecomicbookday.com says these titles were voted on, but I remember previous years it was based on how much money the sponsor gave, so that’s interesting.
Dark Horse, DC, Image, and Marvel, of course, all have their offerings. Marvel seems to have abandoned the stand alone issue after seeing how well Blackest Night 0 did. So they’re “Kicking off a Bold New Direction!”
Full Title List is after the cut.
