While there’s always a healthy variety of publishers and subject matter on any Free Comic Book Day, the Gold level sponsors always get the lion’s share of the anticipation. That tier is where you’ll find Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and IDW, along with Boom!, Dynamite and a few other companies for 2015.
