This week, DC Comics FOC Final Order Cut-Off date will be Thursday at midnight rather than Sunday midnight. The last time this happened, a number of retailers forget and missed out on setting their DC Comics orders. And this time Joker #1 is up for FOC.

This time it is due to the President's Day holiday, and so DC's Final Order Cutoff date previously on Sunday, February 14th has been moved to Thursday, February 11th. To be honest, if you spend Valentine's Day doing FOC numbers, there may be something else that might need attention. Here are the titles the retailers have to order by Thursday night or miss out on – including the new Joker #1 from James Tynion IV and Guillem March, the new Superman: Red And Blue #1, and the return to Infinite Frontier for Wonder Woman and Superman, the Poison Ivy YA OGN Thorns, the final issue of Grant Morrison and Liam Sharp's Green Lantern, and the Absolute Wonder Woman hardcover amongst others.

UPDATE: Here's their new green blank FOC cover – which if retailers miss seeing this may become a lot harder to find.

Here is a summary of all of the FOC items:

JOKER #1
SUPERMAN #29
WONDER WOMAN #770
SUPERMAN RED & BLUE #1 (OF 6)
POISON IVY THORNS TP
AMERICAN VAMPIRE 1976 #6 (OF 9)

And in the backup story, following the events of the smash hit Punchline #1, DC's most controversial new villain navigates the infrastructure of Blackgate Penitentiary—while on the outside, Harper Row takes up the mantle of Bluebird to stop her brother from falling under Punchline's influence.
