Final Order Cut-Off is the last day that shops can guarantee their orders for comics. After Final Order Cut-Off, or FOC, these books will only be available to retailers on Advance Reorder. And that is not guaranteed. So here are the highlights for Monday, 1/21/19’s FOC list.
Huge week this week. FOC on these end tonight, sorry for the delay in getting them out.
Marvel
Amazing Nightcrawler #1 In Hyuk Lee Connecting Variant – Lee has become Marvel’s go to guy on these connecting variants. His art style is a good reason why. There is also a Secret Variant for this book remains to be seen what it looks like.
Avengers #15 – Civil War vampire edition. Good reason why they added Blade to the roster. The Captain Marvel Parel Variant is pretty nice.
Black Order #4 JTC Variant – these are great looking covers. Makes a great set.
Captain America #8 – Iconic Alex Ross Cap cover.
Dazzler #1 Facsimile Edition – another cool complete reprint ads and all.
Guardians of the Galaxy #2 – the hunt for the new Thanos begins.
Hulkverines #1 – Weapon H vs Hulk vs Wolverine. Finally the three meet.
Miles Morales Spider-Man #3 – New villain.
Venom #11 – loving the Watchmen Homage Variant. The regular and Skrull variants are not bad either. Being billed as a big issue by Donny Cates.
Wolverine Infinity Watch #1 – don’t really care much about the story but am loving the “Infinity Gauntlet with Wolverine’s claws sticking out” cover.
DC
High Level #1 – Video game tie-in. Hundreds of years after the world ended and human society was rebuilt from scratch, a self-interested smuggler is forced to traverse a new continent of danger and mystery to deliver a child messiah to High Level, a mythical city at the top of the world from which no one has ever returned. Don’t miss the start of a new series from writer Rob Sheridan, co-creator of Nine Inch Nails’ groundbreaking Year Zero alternate-reality game! Variant by persona-non-grata Mattina.
Nightwing #57 – to be honest the regular cover too. DC dropped the ball with the Joker’s Daughter. Well she is back and hopefully will be used correctly.
Doomsday Clock #9 – DCU finally meets with Dr. Manhattan. Big things in store.

Sharkey Bounty Hunter #1 – new Mark Millar series destined for Netflix
Stronghold #1 – New Aftershock series.
Our planet is actually a prison designed to both trap and shelter an amnesiac alien entity of incalculable power. Now known as Michael Grey, this cosmic angel of destruction currently believes himself to be an ordinary, midwestern insurance underwriter, who belongs to a global secret society dedicated to making sure he never discovers the truth about his past.
To make matters worse, our hero has fallen in love with Michael Grey. And for their love to be born, Earth must die.
Ordered the Dazzler and Stronghold
Great list, as always. Really dig the Avengers Captain Marvel Variant. Also curious as to what you think about the Love Romances #1 Young Guns variant? I love it for some reason.
Man. The Young Guns variants have been good.
People for years couldn’t GIVE away Dazzler #1 and now it’s getting a facsimile edition. Craziness!
I wonder how they choose dazzler over hulk #1 or Amazing Fantasy #15.
I wonder if the Dazzler Facsimile will have the black ink only printing defect?
Also, @Anthony, where’s the picks video… I’m lost without it…
Sorry man. There was a technical issue and I wasn’t able to get it uploaded. (Damn Comcast internet) promise I will be back next week)
Those Black Order variants are great.
