Diamond Comics Distributors and the Free Comic Book Day Committee have announced the twelve Gold Sponsor comic book titles for next year's Free Comic Book Day. FCBD is held on the first Saturday in May at participating comic book shops, and the next one happens on May 7th, 2016.

The Gold Titles represent the industry's top publishers, and feature a variety of styles and stories for all kinds of comics readers.

DC Comics has a book on the Gold list, but we don't have a title or cover; it's currently billed as DC Comics Gold Book. Personally, I'm hoping that it tells the story of Booster Gold teaming up with Gold of the Metal Men to thwart the evil plans of Goldface and Golden Glider.

Here are the rest of the Gold Titles:

From the press release:

“This is a very exciting time for Free Comic Book Day as we celebrate our 15th anniversary, and we couldn’t be more thrilled at the selection of Gold level comics this year,” said Dan Manser, FCBD Marketing Director. “The Gold Sponsors, who comprise the top publishers in the comics industry, have really brought a lineup of top-quality titles for all ages and tastes. We hope that this will be our biggest year yet, and that fans new and old will flock to their local comic shops on May 7th to help us celebrate this milestone for comics!"
