The complete list of Gold and Silver books has been announced for Free Comic Book Day 2009. The 8th annual FCBD falls on May 2nd.

Looks like the highlight for me will be DC’s Blackest Night #0. We get a look at the new Black Lanterns symbol but unfortunately it’s all previously published material inside. It’s a good spot to catch up though as the book will include key moments in the Green Lantern universe that led to the “War of Light.”
