Thank FOC It's Sunday – 22nd December 2019 – I Make Boys Cry

Published Sun, 22 Dec 2019 18:00:09 -0600

Welcome to Thank FOC It's ~~Friday~~ Sunday, a semi-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.

And now it seems that Diamond Comic Distributors has decided to join in. Well, imitation is the greatest form of flattery. You can sign up here or with the form at the bottom.

So what's FOC'ing today?

Okay, so, for this week, Marvel, DC, IDW and Image Comics are not playing, they are keeping their FOC powder dry over Chritsmas until this coming Friday. Not everyone can afford to be so blase.

Dark Horse are pushing Critical Role for Free Comic Book Day, might it be helpful to get ahead of that? Voz Populi Origins II #5 is up for FOC…
There are also Dark Horse endings for Ether #5 and American Gods: Moment Of Storm #9
Heartbeat #3 from Boom Studios has a Jen Bartel FOC cover above.1
We looked at a bunch of Dynamite FOC covers earlier in the week, especially the launch of Red Sonja: Age Of Chaos #1.
And, as usual, Boom has a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #43 FOC story cover by Dan Mora.

Action Lab has Superman: Expecting Trouble #2 by Gordon Mclean and Caio Oliveira which has been getting a bit of a buzz. What about in your store?
The trade paperback of Relics Of Youth by Chad Rebmann, Matt Nicholas and Skylar Patridge from Vault has mpved to a more favourable discount level than when first solicited – and is also doing a further retailer discount promotion for those who order three copies or more…

I Make Boys Cry #1 launches from Absolute Comics Group, spinning out of White Widow and concluding the story from White Widow #5. It's late but it's FOCing here.
You might want in on this. Solo is a new OGN by Oscar Martin, Warner Bros Lifetime Achievement Award-winning writer-artist described as Mad Max meets Mighty Mouse! Fievel meets Fallout! On an Earth ravaged by nuclear war, mutant animals have repopulated the world. When Solo's family faces starvation, the young rat leaves to find his destiny in the irradiated wastes. Solo will need to be faster, smarter and more brutal than the mutant monsters of this chaotic world! I mean…yeah. FOC this weekend.
