Final Order Cut-Off Highlights for 12/9/19

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, 12/2/19’s FOC list.

MARVEL

CAPTAIN MARVEL #12 2ND PTG SORRENTINO VAR – Sorrentino knocks it out of the park on this one.

IMMORTAL HULK #29 – Just a go to read at this point. Needs to focus on the horror again.

MARVELS X #1 – Excited about this. Alex Ross and Jim Krueger join up many years later to tell a prequel story set in the Earth X universe.

MILES MORALES THE END #1 – Humanity makes its last stand in the only place strong enough to survive: BROOKLYN. Former Spider-Man, Miles Morales, leads the last bastion of civilization into the future! think of this as Old Man Miles.

STAR #1 – Will be a ton of covers for this one. I am enjoying the J Scott Campbell cover.

VENOM #22 – Second part of Venom Island. They aren’t giving any clues on this storyline.

DC

DAPHNE BYRNE #1 – New creepy looking Hill House book. In the gaslit splendor of late 19th-century New York, rage builds inside 14-year-old Daphne. The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her irresponsible, grief-stricken mother-who becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne begins to sense a strange, insidious presence in her own body…an entity with unspeakable appetites. What does “Brother” want? And could she even stop him if she tried?

HARLEY QUINN & POISON IVY #5 Joshua Middleton Poison Ivy and Harley Covers – It drives me nuts so many good looking covers for this series split between two covers by one artist. Middleton gets his shot and looks awesome.

WONDER WOMAN #750 – Tons of great looking decades covers for this milestone issue. (The Hughes variant is nice)

IMAGE/INDY

CLOCK #1 – Within three weeks, hundreds of millions of healthy people worldwide contract various forms of aggressive cancer, and the proliferation, seemingly a viral outbreak, stumps the best scientific minds available. But after a leading cancer researcher loses his wife and watches his nine-year-old daughter begin to succumb to the same illness, he must race against the clock to end a global conspiracy that could propel the world straight into WWIII…or worse.

RED MOTHER #1 3RD PTG – Quickly has moved to a third printing before issue 1 even comes out.

RED AGENT ISLAND OF DR MOREAU #1 – I am not much of a Zenescope fan, but do know that their “hot woman” covers can do well.

KILL WHITEY DONOVAN #2 – recently optioned new series. Could be a great longer term hold.
