Published Fri, 04 Jun 2021 12:20:10 -0500

Thank FOC It's Friday – Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And now Lunar Distribution as well. Who knows what Penguin Random House will bring? So here's this week's comics product coming through that may adjusting as demand slips and slides with the emerging economic bubble. Or somesuch.

Can't Spell Frank Cho Without FOC - Thank FOC It's Friday, April 9th — Thank FOC It's Friday, 16th April 2021

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.

What's FOC-ing today?

Lots of big books from Dark Horse Comics – as in large and heavy. An Avatar: Last Airbender Smoke & Shadow Omnibus, a Black Hammer Visions hardcover, the Complete American Gods hardcover, the Dead Dogs Bite hardcover, the Empowered Omnibus Vol 3, the Hellboy Omnibus Boxed Set, the Overwatch Tracer: London Calling hardcover, the Stephanie McCranie's Space Boy Omnibus, the Stranger Things Library Edition, the Umbrella Academy: You Look Like Death Deluxe hardcover, the Young Hellboy Hidden Lands hardcover and more.
