DC's Future State Is Now - Thank FOC Its Sunday, 6th of December — A Thing Called Thank FOC It's Sunday, 10th of October

Traditionally FOC is the date when retailers have a last chance to amend their advance orders for comic books without penalty. A final opportunity for publishers to promote books while orders can still be added. A time for credits to be amends, new covers to be revealed, and a final push given. This is an attempt to sift through them all and find the most relevant items.
