Die bisher "geheimgehaltenen" Inhalte und Cover - Abbildungen der jeweils zwei "Free Comic Book Day 2016" Titel der Verlage Marvel und DC Entertainment wurden inzwischen bekanntgegeben, wobei Marvel diesmal mit zwei Heften mit scheinbar komplett neuen Inhalten (also US-Erstveröffentlichungen!) punktet, während der kalifornische Konkurrent DC Entertainment lediglich ein Heft mit Erstveröffentlichungen anbietet, während das andere ein Reprint ist (dies aber passend zum nächsten DC- Kinofilm, der nach "Batman V Superman" in die Lichtspielhäuser kommt)!
(wer nachfolgende "offizielle Pressetexte" beider Verlage liest, wird aber feststellen, das noch immer einige Details -zumindest bei MARVEL- "geheimgehalten" werden... naja.)
