Marvel Comics has revealed their plans for Free Comic Book Day 2023, and it features four free comics. Those comics include Avengers/X-Men, Spider-Man/Venom, Marvel’s Voices, and Spidey & Friends. Free Comic Book Day will take place in May 2023. Marvel promises these FCBD comics will be a lead in to FALL OF X and SUMMER OF SYMBIOTES, both events announced at NYCC this year.
A few observations of the cover art suggest Captain Krakoa is still alive and well, Spider-Man is using his Norman Osborn-made costume although there’s a new glider under his feet, and Quicksilver is back in his green costume.
Here’s a rundown of each:
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: AVENGERS/X-MEN #1 features a pair of all-new stories that set the stage for the next evolution in mutant adventures, FALL OF X, and introduces an uncanny new lineup for a new team book launching next year. Plus a preview of Jonathan Hickman and Valerio Schiti’s upcoming mystery project.
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: SPIDER-MAN/VENOM #1 will web-sling readers into the exciting developments currently taking place in Zeb Wells and John Romita Jr.’s hit run of Amazing Spider-Man and lay the groundwork for the SUMMER OF SYMBIOTES. Plus a preview of new Marvel epic just on the horizon.
FREE COMIC BOOK DAY 2023: MARVEL’S VOICES #1 invites readers to the groundbreaking and critically acclaimed Marvel’s Voices series, which spotlights creators and characters across Marvel’s diverse and ever-evolving universe.
