Marvel Comics has revealed the lineup of free comics for Free Comic Book Day 2025, which will be held on May 3 next year. FCBD’s offerings include glimpses of the Fantastic Four and X-Men mash-up that serves as a prelude to the next X-Men saga, the 2025 Ultimate Universe, Spider-Man, and more.
Some notable details that can be gleaned from the request are that Chip Zdarsky is returning to Marvel and doing something “surprise” in the Final Fantasy/X-Men special. He also does his own storytelling art. He is joined by Ryan North, Colin Kelly, Jackson Lansing, Edgar Delgado, Humberto Ramos and Ivan Coello.
It looks like Joe Kelly is still continuing the Spider-Man storyline with Deniz Camp (likely doing the Ultimate story) and Cody Ziggler (maybe Miles Morales?).
Check out the details and cover art for each story.
