DC's Future State Is Now – Thank FOC It's Sunday, 6th of December

Thank FOC It's Friday – except days like today when I'm late. Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And Lunar as well – no more UCS. Of course, in these times, so much of this is up in the air.  There's a lot of product coming through that needs adjusting. Because this represents the comic book industry returning to comic book stores en masse…

Traditionally FOC is the date when retailers have a last chance to amend their advance orders for comic books without penalty. A final chance 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 FOCing today?

• The Bill And Ted new collection by Ed Solomon, Ethan Dorkin and Roger Langridge. Should be an easy New Year's Present.
