FOC is the last chance to put in your orders with your comic shops and likely get at a discount for pre-ordering.
It’s a bigger FOC week. Lots of good books on final order..
Darth Vader #6 which gave us that surprise appearance from Ochi the Assassin of the Sith. Now the 2nd printing is on FOC this Monday and it’s got Ochi on the cover. I was sort of expecting Marvel take it’s usual route and make this the 3rd printing but we’re getting it on the 2nd printing.
I expect this one to see at least a 4th print, maybe a 5th at most.
We Live #1 was a homerun for Aftershock Comics. Now we get a 2nd printing for it which I must admit, looks like a pretty slick wraparound cover for the book in a sepia tint with the high contrast still going on for the colors. It’s a must grab for me.
Watch out for the 1:10 as well.
From the Road of Bones (which initially saw some love on the secondary market briefly) team, comes a new book Sea of Sorrows #1 which I’m picking up just because I enjoyed Road of Bones tremendously.
There’s a 1:10 Variant as well to keep an eye out for.
Plus I really dig this regular cover.
Avengers #36 (still in stock at TFAW) is getting a second printing. This was that awesome Moon Knight vs Black Panther cover that did see some love on the secondary market just for the cover alone.
A must for any Moon Knight and Black Panther fan. I didn’t think they could top the first printing cover but I must say, the 2nd printing from the interiors is actually quite cool and suitable as cover art.
One book that might not cross some as a pickup is the Frany variant for Once & Future #13 Variant B. Just sweet sweet artwork. Maybe with art like this, we got the next hot artist like Momoko on the horizon?
Dark Interlude #1 is a new Vault Comic. Definitely interesting and the regular cover grabbed my attention. I just like that retro old school feel, like those old novels had. The C cover looks pretty cool as well.
Dark Interlude #1 (Cover B – Daniel Gooden)
Dark Interlude #1 (Cover C – Isaacs)
Some other honorable mentions are out of the LCSD books on FOC this Monday, I’d say the likely winners will be, Something Is Killing The Children #1 Foil Variant and then the Momoko Power Rangers #1 Foil.
It’s gonna be hard to tell how these fair but I think as they might not blow up initially, over time as supplies run dry and demand is still there, they could gain over time with the long term speculation.
That’s all I got. There could have been more as I try to limit these picks but it’s just so hard at times to keep it small.
That’s a lot of sweet covers!
Definitely pre-ordering some Vader #6 2nd’s and SIKTC #1 LCSD foil covers (in addition to a few others) thru my LCS. Been getting on the FOC bandwagon more these past few months to avoid disappointment later.
I totally forgot about SIKTC #12 Momoko 1:25 variant as well, which is on FOC this Monday. Of course there’s time to put in the order with your retailer if they’re willing to buy 25 copies to qualify.. TFAW shows sold out but they sometimes list these on or around FOC (Monday) when they see how many they qualified for and have to list… and so on.
I mentioned this in the long running Something is Killing Children forum topic we got going on.. If you’re not on the forums, you should be. Lots of great topics always getting updated daily.
