Retailers Have Three FOC Dates in One Week for DC Comics Via UCS

After running a brief interview with Gerry Gladston of Midtown Comics and UCS Comic Distributors, we mentioned that we hadn't heard back from the other new DC Comics distributor. DCBS/Lunar Distribution. At which point Bleeding Cool received an acknowledgement email from Christina Merkler. So we have a few more questions in with Lunar and will tell you what we discover when we do. Man, the Power List is going to look different next year. However, for now what we do have is the FOC details for UCS Comic Distributors, the distribution company created by Midtown Comics to distribute DC Comics from the end of this month.

The dates and deadlines on this have been very tight and in the next week there are three FOC dates for retailers to consider. Now this is just for UCS, but we can presume that Lunar will be matching them for day and date,

Here are the FOC orders due at midnight tonight ET, Tuesday 21st April for comic books going on sale on Tuesday 28th April.
