Thank FOC It's Saturday – Marvel Comics 1000, Absolute Carnage and First Female Turtle

Published Sat, 13 Jul 2019 16:00:25 -0500

Welcome to Thank FOC It's Saturday, a mostly-weekly mailing list, similar to The Daily LITG, but (mostly) every Friday and planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off. 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. And 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.

You can sign up here or with the form at the bottom.
