Seven Secrets Thank FOC It's Sunday, 23rd August

Published Sun, 23 Aug 2020 10:27:28 -0500

Thank FOC It's Friday. Okay, okay, it's Sunday now. Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And now UCS and Lunar as well. 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 new Umbrella Academy series, You Look Like Death, is launching. How will Netflix season 2 affect sales? Returnable for those stores that order ten copies or more.
