Batman: The Three Jokers #2? Thank FOC It's Friday, 28th August 2020

Published Fri, 28 Aug 2020 11:00:48 -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…

Batman: The Three Jokers #2? Thank FOC It's Friday, 28th August 2020

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?

Hidden Society returns from Dark Horse with a rescheduled #3.
Also Skulldigger & Skeleton Boy #4.
