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, 4/29/19’s FOC list.
MARVEL
ASGARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #9 MAXX LIM MARVEL BATTLE LINES VAR – Sweet Maxx Lim cover of Hela.
MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #5 – Venom takes center stage on the cover and in the book.
MILES MORALES SPIDER-MAN #6 – First appearance of the Starling. New Character. There is a Battle Lines Variant as well.
VENOM #14 – Continuation of the Dream Stone Venom storyline. Also, the sweet Maxx Lim Carnage Cover.
STAR WARS AOR JABBA THE HUTT #1 CONCEPT COVER – I love the concept covers. Shows the design of the original characters and how different they turned out to be, this one is pretty out there.
DC
ACTION COMICS #1011 – With a shocking conclusion that’ll affect the entire DC Universe over the summer, don’t miss the epic and unexpected conclusion to ‘Leviathan Rising.’
BATGIRL #35 MIDDLETON VARIANT – Killer B Middleton cover.
BATMAN LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH #1 – Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo mini series. Bruce Wayne wakes up in Arkham Asylum. Young. Sane. And…he was never Batman. So begins this sprawling tale of the Dark Knight as he embarks on a quest through a devastated DC landscape featuring a massive cast of familiar faces from the DC Universe. Batman holding a Green Lantern type Joker’s head on the cover. Awesome.
DETECTIVE COMICS #1004 – Arkham Knight continues.
IMAGE/INDY
FAITHLESS #2 (OF 5) CVR B EROTICA DEL REY VARIANT – First erotic cover was um… and sell for $7-$20 as a result. One to watch on this one.
GHOST TREE #2 – Great first issue. Second issue looks good as well. Sales up to $10 on the first one as well
RAGS #4 – Sure, spec is dead on this, but I still enjoy the story and want to see how it ends. A crossover variant and cosplay variant on this one.
Best Final Order Cutoff for me is the chance to REDUCE Heroes in Crisis #9 to only what the subscribers want instead of buying a ton of extra shelf copies like the other 8 issues after that piece of garbage they put out for #8. Stores can use the FOC Weekly form on Diamonds website today to unorder your copies if you got suckered into this stupidity.
Lol. That is an awesome thing. No idea why they gave up the goat on 8 and still have a 9 coming out.
If your store doesn’t know how to do this print these instructions and hand them over when requesting to cancel your order. (It took me almost 5 years to learn how to do this since Diamond doesn’t give lessons on how to do anything to new stores.)
Step 1- log into your account at https://retailerservices.diamondcomics.com/
Step 2- From the left side of the screen click on “ORDERS” and then “FOC WEEKLY”
Step 3- At the top left adjust the qty of items per page to “ALL”
Step 4-Scroll down to the 23rd and 24th items, in the little box use the back space button to change the quantity to “0” for A and B covers.
Step 5-Scroll back up and click the button that says “Commit Adjustment”
An e-mail should arrive shortly confirming.
I got to agree with you Tony on the Faithless Erotic cover. I was not expecting that. Good thing I also got the regular cover and will sell the erotic cover. Also looking forward to issue 2.
Faithless #4 will have the Jenny Frison erotica cover.
The Last Knight sounds great……but I refuse to buy any “Mature” label that’s been censored.
Has this been censored?
