Bleeding Cool reported that there had been six million orders for comic books from retailers for this year's Free Comic Book Day, shared by the fifty books available for stores to order and give away on the first Saturday in May.

But some books are more equal than others. Because Marvel Comics' two titles Civil War !! #1 and Captain America #1 have received orders that total a million. With two titles, 4% of those available, Marvel have sewn up 17% of Free Comics Book Day for themselves

Featuring only brand new content, Free Comic Book Day is your first taste of the massive events, storylines and new series set to debut later this year! First, FCBD Civil War II #1 ignites the fuse of the blockbuster comics event of 2016. Be there as Brian Michael Bendis and Jim Cheung beat the drums of war and fire the opening shots! Then, don't miss the exciting second story of that issue as Mark Waid and Alan Davis introduce you to the all-new Wasp! Who is she? And what does it mean for the All-New, All-Different Avengers? Then, pick up the shield as Steve Rogers steps back into the spotlight in FCBD Captain America #1. The original Sentinel of Liberty has returned, be there for one of his first missions back on the job – brought to you by Nick Spencer and Jesus Saiz! Finally, Dan Slott and Javier Garron bring you the prelude to DEAD NO MORE, this year's Earth-shattering Amazing Spider-Man storyline!

Here's a preview. War Machine looks really happy doesn't he? No wonder Captain Marvel is going to be pissed at Iron Man…
