Welcome to Thank FOC It's Friday Saturday, 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 […]

I enjoyed reading Boom's Buffy: The Vampire Slayer until they announced 'Hellmouth', a 10+ part crossover with Angel. Nothing against Angel's creative team, but the 'Hellmouth' arc made looking in on Buffy's world more difficult than before, so I stopped reading Buffy. Now that 'Hellmouth' is over, I return to the series, and I'm excited […]

There are very few things that get me as pumped as the news that Joss Whedon will be back for a new show. If you don't already know or maybe heard some rumblings, Whedon is the creator of a new show for HBO that was set to premiere "late 2020" (think more 2021) called The […]

Boom Studios and Dynamite Entertainment are the leading proponent of what is known as the FOC cover, releasing cover images just before the Final Order Cut-Off date in an attempt to goose last minute orders out of retailers. Dynamite especially use tiered covers, as well as black-and-white, virgin and tinted versions of covers, to encourage […]

In the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer nineties TV series, Kendra Young was a Slayer from Jamaica activated after Buffy Summers' temporary death. Trained by her Watcher Sam Zabuto, she joined the series battling vampires Spike and Drusilla, but was killed in 1998 by Drusilla after only a year as a chosen Slayer. The comic […]

Diamond Select Toys always have one of the must-see booths at every show they set up at, but Toy Fair especially. They like to surprise us over there, always showing off something we are not expecting and then blowing our minds with the quality of the figures and such they put out. This year is […]

Explosive publisher BOOM! Studios is making a pretty bold claim about an upcoming one-shot tieing into their Buffy the Vampire Slayer line of comics. According to a press release from the publisher, Buffy: Every Generation #1 will feature the first appearance of "the most important new Buffy character ever."

It seems like it was just last year that Buffy the Vampire Slayer was rebooted at BOOM! Studios, but Buffy and Angel are already involved in a super-mega-crossover event: Hellmouth. And what is a super-mega-crossover event without shocking revelations? So last issue, Buffy learned the truth about Angel: that he's secretly a vampire. And as […]

A super-mega-crossover event is a volatile time for any comic book series, with the universe surely to be shaken to its foundations, and the likelihood of anything ever being the same again very low. Especially for a series less than 12 issues in, it's important for characters to retain some level of solidarity. Unfortunately, that's […]

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 […]

I have to admit that I have been a pretty big fan of BOOM! Studios new take on the classic Whedonverse characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. The characters feel very much like they did in the late '90s, but with the added benefit of, you know, cell phones. Plus, Willow starts out […]

It's Halloween and explosive publisher BOOM! Studios has a treat for you! No, it's not marijuana edibles disguised as Halloween candy. What self-respecting stoner would give away their stash like that?! What BOOM! has is much better than candy, a first look at Hellmouth #2, the next issue in the Buffyverse super-mega-crossover event by Jordie […]

The New York Comic Con has been hosting the Angel 20th anniversary panel this weekend, with much of the cast reuniting to talk about the show… twenty years on? Really? Man. And while everyone was regaling each other with stories old and new, there was one story that seemed… fresher than before. James Marsters talked […]

Last week we warned you that Boom Studios' Hellmouth #1, kicking off the first-ever Angel and Buffy event, comic, has a foil cover that might prove difficult to get at the level that the resurgent collector and speculator community would prefer, leading to high demand. Well, Hellmouth #1 FOC'd yesterday and I'm hearing that maybe […]
