Marvel Comics will release the comics it produced for Free Comic Book Day in July, the company announced. The originally scheduled date for Free Comic Book Day, May 2, passed during a period when Diamond Comic Distributors and most retailers were closed or under operating restrictions. The event has not been rescheduled, with Diamond parent GFE CEO Steve Geppi telling ICv2 last month that Diamond was canvassing on preferred dates with a likely date in the Fall (see "ICv2 Interview: Geppi Family Enterprises CEO Steve Geppi, Part 4"). Now Marvel has taken things into its own hands and is releasing its FCBD books next month, presumably to keep them ahead of the new comic titles they’re promoting.
