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, 10/5/20’s FOC list.
MARVEL
X of Swords Stasis #1 – Looks like new Mutant characters are coming in this event book spin-off.
Strange Academy #4 – the fan favorite new series continues. There is also a 1:25 Ratio variant up that the art has not been released for.
DC
Dark Nights Metal Rise of the New Gods #1 – Batman. Always. Wins. This irrevocable truth resonates to the very heart of Perpetuaâs battle with the Batman Who Laughsâ¦and when her ally reveals his absolute nature, she will upend this mantra and destroy the last planet. His planet. But thatâs not enoughâ¦and the mother of all creation must wonder, if power lies in destruction, why would she ever stop? But thatâs the thing about truthâ¦when it turns to fact, thereâs no disputing its godlike reverenceâ¦and so enters the Darkest Knight.
Batman #102 two covers featuring the Ghost Maker, and first full appearance most likely. Great looking Mattina variant.
Sweet Tooth Returns #1 – fan favorite and optioned series returns with an all new #1
IMAGE/INDY
Spawn #311 – the tribute to Chadwick Boseman cover. I do wish that some of the money would be given to cancer research. There is also the 1:5 Black and White Variant
TMNT The Last Ronin #1 – This one has been pushed back and is finally coming out to much hype. There is also a 1:10 Variant and a 1:25 Variant for the book as well (we mentioned these on the Ratio Variant FOC post)
Department of Truth #2 – Star Faced Man debuts this issue, the series protagonist. Two regular covers and some variants including the 1:10 Variant that has the Star Faced Man on the cover.
Giga #1 – New cool looking Vault series. Nobody knows why the skyscraper-sized mechs known as ‘Giga’ fought their bitter, centuries’ long war. All they know is that when the fighting finally stopped, the dormant Giga became humanity’s new habitat and new gods in one. When disgraced engineer Evan Calhoun finds an apparently murdered Giga, his society and the fascistic tech-centered religious order that controls it are rapidly thrown into chaos.
Autumnal #1 2nd Print – great new series. Has a regular and a foil cover available. Autumnal #2 is also on FOC this week.
Year Zero Season 2 #1 the hit AWA series starts its second story arch.
I was gettin $50 a book for the #1 of year zero, then some guy named Tony listed it for $20 and it kind of killed the market eventually….
Lol Beau you never get old. Yes the book was selling for $50 a one point but as more copies hit the market people dropped prices. It’s easy to blame everything on me, but sadly for you it’s not all my fault. But I am an easy scape goat for you. Sorry you didn’t make as much on it as you would have liked. But good luck selling that entire case of your Minty Man 2ND Print Black #1 variants you found recently. I do mean good luck selling the case you showed off on Facebook.
Savage Dragon 252 second print could be one to look for release day. It was FOC today. It has Charlie Brown and his sister Sally on the cover. Most likely under ordered.
I saw that. Not a lot of stores will order it. Not to mention not a lot of Savage Dragon readers.

I think Batman #102 FOC might be this upcoming week. I don’t recall seeing it on last week’s FOC list on several websites. Also, I am still confused if DC’s FOC is now every Friday or Sunday…have to check with my LCS. I still have not found one website that has complete FOC info for non-retailers. I usually have to check several websites…although Golden Apple seems pretty thorough.
