2022 may not be over yet, but publishers and fans are already looking ahead to what the next year will bring. Today Diamond unveiled details for Free Comic Book Day 2023 taking place May 6th, 2023 at participating comic shops. This year 44 comics will be available, including 13 gold sponsor comics and 31 all-new Silver Sponsor titles.

No DC Comics titles in sight, however like 2021 and 2022 it’s safe to expect that the publisher will roll out their own offerings through Lunar in due time.

From Diamond’s PR:

The participating titles were curated by 20+ comic shop retailers who make up the FCBD Selection Committee. This year’s comic book lineup features something for everyone: from superheroes to movies and video games, beloved franchises and favorites for all-ages. The Gold Sponsor titles come from the industry’s top publishers including AfterShock Comics, Archie Comics, BOOM! Studios, Dark Horse Comics, Dynamite Entertainment, Graphix, IDW Publishing, Image Comics, Kodansha Comics, Marvel, Titan Comics, and VIZ Media.

“This year’s lineup of titles has something for every kind of comic fan,” said Ashton Greenwood, Free Comic Book Day spokesperson. “We’re looking forward to another great year celebrating comic books and comic book shops, and we think this year’s lineup gives fans a lot to be excited about!”

The full line-up of this year’s comic books will be released on Thursday, November 17 so keep your eyes peeled right here.
